video goes live on the channel with all that said and out the way let's jump straight on into the guide we're first of all going to be starting off with the windows operating system itself so for this navigate down to the bottom left-hand side click on the windows key we can start by typing in percent temp percent just like so then going ahead and pressing enter this is the windows temporary folder which all programs and apps on your pc dump all of their caching files with inside of here to simply soak up resources with inside of here it's recommended to highlight all the way from the top to the bottom right click and select delete go and press do this real current items then hit skip then hit skip once again the only files and folders remaining within side of the were the only ones windows was using and everything else was an excess caching file which no longer needed we can then go ahead and exit out navigate down to the bottom left hand side once again click on the windows key this time typing in run then pressing enter once the run command opens up simply then type in temp just like so but without the percentage signs this time then press ok press continue with inside of here once again we can highlight and select every folder and file within side of here right click and again select delete select do this for current items then hit continue we can then proceed to navigate over to the left hand side to this pc then navigate down to your local disk c drive with inside of the local disk c drive we're then going to be looking for one or two folders the folders we're going to be looking for are windows.old and windows 10 upgrade you might have both these folders or you might just have one of them or in some cases you may not have either of these folders if you do have either of these folders or both if you're currently happy with your current operating system and update to the operating system so you don't wish to revert windows back you no longer need these files so if you're happy with how windows is right now that's absolutely fine we can go ahead and select both of these folders right click then select delete if any prompts come up just make sure that you go ahead and click do this for accounts items and then hit continue with inside of here again we can then go inside of the windows folder scroll down until you find the s section we're then going to be going inside of software distribution then go inside of download this is just all windows upgrade files which you no longer need as you're already running on the latest version of windows so we do not need any of this information anymore so once again highlight and drag all folders and files right click and select delete we can then go ahead and exit out then navigate down to the bottom left hand side once again clicking on the windows button again this time typing in run pressing enter but inside of it we're then going to be typing in a prefetch just like so and then pressing ok if you're notified that you do not have permissions to access this folder just press continue and this is just a compilation of cached files inside of windows from frequently used applications and searches so again go all the way from the top to the bottom highlight every single thing with inside of here right click then select delete once again if you're given a prompt saying this action could not be completed just hit do this real current items then hit skip once that's then been completed exit out assuming that we've now already cleared out a bulk of the cache with inside of our operating system it's now recommended to completely flush that out and optimize our windows drives to do this it's very simple and easy to do navigate to the bottom left hand side type in disk just like so then click on disk cleanup with insider file say select the drive you want to clean up simply select your c drive then press ok the disk cleanup tool for windows will then open up for most of you watching you can just keep the default checked options checked with inside of it then press ok but if you really want to clean out all cache which i'd recommend you do i'd go ahead and select all options with inside of here and onto your temporary files make sure that all of them selected then go down to clean up system files press ok once again over the c drive and once again go inside of here and simply check all of the options on the left hand side make sure that they are all checked and as you can see for me i'm now going to be removing 2.7 gigabytes of caching files just simply by doing this step so once they're all selected go ahead and press ok then click on delete files this can take a few moments depending on the system speed and the drive in which you're using whether it's an ssd or hard drive so simply just leave this for a few moments time and the program will then close out once it's completed we can then go ahead and clean out all of the old system restore points we no longer need which in some cases can be taking up more than five plus gigabytes on your windows installation and this is very easy and simple to do for this simply navigate to the bottom left hand side click on the windows key type in create a restore point just like so then click on create a restore point with inside of this prompt navigate down to your local disk c drive highlight the c drive and if system protection is turned on navigate down to the bottom right hand side to configure within side of here you'll then be seeing the current disk usage from all of the old system restore points in which you're using assuming that i just cleared out this pcs i'm actually using zero bytes but in some cases this can be a few gigabytes depending on how old your windows install is make sure to let me know of your current usage in that comment section down below then to clear out all those old system restore points which you no longer need simply navigate down to the bottom right hand side and click on delete then press continue then press close with inside of here what we're then going to go ahead and do is go to max usage drag this slider to about five percent then go down to the right right hand side press apply press ok we're then going to create a brand new system restore point as we just removed all of our old ones so we need to create one now to ensure that you guys can go about using your pc and you'll have a system restore point if you need to use one so go down to press create then simply name the system restore point something you can remember so we'll just call this restore 2020 then go ahead and press create after a few short moments the system reaches a point will be created then go ahead and press close press ok and we can continue on we're then going to be clearing out our windows file explorer cache to make the file explorer and file search options much faster we can do this by navigating into the desktop going down to the file explorer icon on the taskbar with inside of a navigate up to the view tab click on view then navigate over to the right hand side to options now whilst we're in here it's also recommended to come into the view tab at the top then go down to the option which is hidden files and folders and check the option for show hidden files folders and drives then go down to the bottom right hand side to apply we can then navigate back over to the general tab on the top left hand side then never get down to the bottom to the privacy tab then go ahead over to the right hand side and click on clear after a few seconds go ahead to the bottom left hand side press ok we can then exit out we can then clear out the cache and speed up the windows store this also helps if you're struggling with slow download speeds or you're struggling to load items through the windows store but this is very simple and easy to do simply exit out of the windows store before doing this navigate to the bottom left hand side type in cmd right click on cmd and make sure that you run this as an administrator then select yes with inside of it we're simply then going to be typing in s w-s-r-e-s-e t dot exe so that again is wsreset.exe just like so then press enter the command prompt will then pause and act like it's not doing much whilst it's running the command and after a few short moments the windows or microsoft store will then automatically open up once the store opens up it's then good to go and all the cache has then been reset we then go ahead and exit out of both the windows store and command prompt we're going to be clearing out our internet browsers cache and also helping speed them up we're then going to be completing that step by flushing our network to ensure that we can get the best internet speed and the fastest searches and minimize any slowdowns on your pc so to start off with any google chrome users navigate to the top right hand side of your browser click on the three dots then go down to settings with inside of here simply scroll down until you find the privacy and security tab we're then going to be starting off by going over to clear browsing data click on this tab we can then go ahead and select the time

never get down to choose what to clear with inside effect go to the drop down menu i'd recommend selecting this to all time and again select all of the options in which you wish to clear out with inside of here the more of these you tick the faster your browser is going to become but do bear in mind if you do remove your passwords and autofill data this can make it more difficult to resign into any accounts and which you might have forgotten the user data too but if you're not bothered by that that's absolutely fine check those options as well then click clear now and last but not least for those of you running on firefox navigate to the top right hand side once again click on the three lines inside of here never get down to the options menu then navigate over to privacy and security
