"What can I delete on my PC?"

This is simply my opinion. If you are absolutely sure of what the file is, Example; a graphic you saved and you don't want it anymore. Be sure you know what the file name is before deleting. If you delete the wrong file by mistake, go to recycle bin on your desktop, double click it, click on edit, click on 'undo delete'. After you empty the recycle bin you CAN NOT restore any deleted files. So be sure not to delete a file just because you have no idea what that file is for.

When you surf the web, every site you visit is stored in a folder called 'temporarily internet files'. This is stored there for when you revisit the same sites they will load faster because they are stored on your hard drive. However if you surf the web a lot, this can pretty much load your hard drive. So it's a good idea to delete your 'temporarily internet files' as often as you think possible (depending on how much you surf the web). I delete mine before turning my PC off.

Here is how you do it:

- STEP 1 -
On your desktop, double click on my computer.

- STEP 2 -
Then click on C:, then find the folder named "Windows" and double click on it.

- STEP 3 -
Scroll to find the folder called 'temporarily internet files' and double click on it. Then click on 'Edit' then on 'Select All'.

- STEP 4 -
Now click on 'File' then on 'Delete'.

If it asks you if you want to delete some 'cookie', say yes everytime it asks.

-STEP 5 -
Files in your 'History' folder may be deleted also. Go to your 'Window' directory again and find the folder named 'History'. This folder also contains temporary files of where you went. Delete this also.

- STEP 6 -
The files in the 'Cookies' folder may also be deleted also. This folder is also in the 'Windows' directory. Certain sites on the web asks you to accept a cookie, example ; when you enter your hotmail account or any other online Email account you may have on the web. Of course other sites may take cookies also.
