Junk Files

Your Windows 10 starts accumulating various types of junk files — setup extracted contents, downloaded Internet files, cache, temporary files, logs, memory dump files, and so on. Such files are stored in different system-specified locations.

Identical Copies of your Documents & Files

  • Backup software regularly creates identical copies of your documents and files. These old backups have to be deleted if they are of no use to you.
  • Besides old backup, user has to be blamed for not applying correct names to downloaded files. This results into duplicate files scattered all over hard disk with different file names and formats.
  • Microsoft Office and many other programs create auto-recovery of your active documents, spreadsheets, presentations and databases. This ensures you won’t lose your data in case of unexpected shutdowns and system crashes. This too results into multiple versions of the same document.
