I'm so glad!

Its great that Liron does not assume that people know about restore or backup options and actually shows it at the beginning when mucking about the OS.

DO NOT DO THIS. There's a disk cleanup feature that achieves the same thing safely and avoids deleting temp files that are currently in use, for example. Open an explorer window (Win-E) Navigate to "This PC" Right-click on your system disk (usually C:) and select "Properties" Hit the "Disk cleanup" button in the "General" tab of the window that appears A new window appears. Hit the "Clean up system files" button. Disk cleanup goes away and thinks for a few seconds and shows a new version of the "Disk clean-up" window that includes more options. Hit "OK". This will delete all the unneeded crud far more safely than digging around in the file system yourself.

I just saw the video and to me it seems all the actions he describes are perfectly safe. Temporary files that are in use currently cannot be removed anyway and a popup will show so you can skip them. To me, cleaning out the prefetch folder and clearing the DNS cache don't seem like a way to regain much disk space. I would skip these steps personally. However I do agree with you the disk cleanup utility is the fastest and easiest way to reclaim most disk space. This is the only method I use but also sometimes I clear out the Softwaredistribution\Download folder. Windows update will re-download these files anyway. Btw, the disk cleanup utility is also mentioned in the video.

Thanks for such a thorough explanation! I was going through the situation where running cleanmgr.exe didn't clear out all temporary files. So I searched and was able to come up with deleting the temp, %temp%, software distribution files, and prefetch files, before I discovered your channel, which helped even more!

Yes, those temp files are used by programs, but as I like to say, sometimes they forget to pick up their toys when they're done. Then we need to do what you're describing.

You can save time scrolling through a lot of files by doing this: If the file you are looking for begins with "s" press the keyboard "s" key and it will take you to all the files beginning with that letter. Then scroll down to the specific file and press "enter" to open it.

Disk Cleanup does much of this automatically when you run it... It does leave a few things behind, but it is much better for people not sure about doing this stuff, or don't want to install third party stuff.

If you don't have Liron's level of computer literacy, I highly recommend doing a *full image backup* in addition to setting a system restore point before starting this. It takes longer, but can fix almost anything that can go wrong. There's no guarantee that system restore will work in every situation.

So I jumped ahead one step & checked what the current setting was. It was set at 1500, so that was too big. How did that number get originally setup incorrectly, by the router maybe? SO, I tried to set it to 1495 w/the word WiFi within the parenthesis' as you showed. It told me the syntax was wrong.

That's just what it's called sometimes. If you ordered 100/100 internet speed from your ISP operator, you will have that speed and programs cannot change that speed. Internet speed is set for your location / username by your ISP Operator and has nothing to do with your computer or devices. Programs can change how the webpage opens, how the browser will use the Internet connection, ping optimization etc. If you ordered Internet Speed​​​​​​ 100/100 and the Speed ​​​​​​Test shows only 90/80, yes, it is possible that such optimizations can help. When the Internet is not in use! Of course Speed ​​Test is done like this. 1) Turn off all devices from the modem (Wi-Fi and Cables) When all devices are turned off... 2) Turn off the modem for at least 30 seconds ( power supply from the wall ). A) Also restart your computer 3) Wait for the computer to boot into the OS and the modem to establish an Internet connection ( Lights on the modem ). 4) Now connect the computer and the modem with a cable. !Do not connect other devices! 5) Once your computer is connected to the Internet, open the Speed ​​​​​​Test website and select your ISP Operator for the speed test. Speedtest by Ookla will definitely have your ISP listed. This is the best internet speed test website as server distance is very important for accurate measurement. If the internet speed is not the same as the one you ordered or almost the same, do the same test later or next day and if the difference is still very large, call your ISP operator. You can try speed test on another computer to be sure. A cable connection is required for accurate measurement. If you cannot change the server, the internet speed test website is useless because the measurement will not be accurate.

I allocate 1gb as ramdisk and change cache/temp variable to Z:\ ramdisk. Once shut down, all cache/temp files are automatically deleted. Furthermore, it saves SSD life a little as all these files are not written on SSD and it also makes browser run faster when it needs to access cache files.

Awesome video! I liked Here to mentioned, it made me smile to hear about Spotify (Not everyone uses that services)

Thank you, love your videos.

There's one more thing you can do to speed up your computer. Every browser, and most large programs, like Microsoft Office, use a software program to update the application, keeping it fresh and exciting. However, many updating programs run every hour of every day, regardless of whether there is an update. The programs are started by the Window scheduler. Simply and meticulously go through every entry looking for these hourly cycle hogs and change the setting to a once-a-day trigger. The browsers and large programs will still update to the latest version, but without interfering with your TV time, games, or actual work.

Hi Lirov. Quick question. Sometimes when I boot up my PC I get a black screen with a 9c error code in the bottom left. Aparently this is an inability of the motherboard to get fully powered. Using the reset button usually helps to boot the pc properly after I see the error. I've searched for solutions online, but nothing I've tried has worked. My Power Supply is powerful enough, and fairly recent, though my motherboard is over 6 years old. Is this a sign I need to change it soon? Do you have any in depth guide to troubleshoot it? Could it be a shutdown software issue? Uncleared caches or something alike? Already tried disconnecting all peripheral devices to see if any of them causes this.

for cleaning up all disks of junk, use the below steps 1. Open the Administrative command line 2. type "cmd.exe /c cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & cleanmgr /sagerun:65535" without quotes 3. select all the items in the dialog that popsup 4. press enter
