Windows provides us with a Disk Cleanup utility that is very useful and easy to use. This utility will quickly search your hard drive for Temporary Files, Downloaded Program Files, Recycle Bin Files, Temporary PC Health Files and Application Debugging Information etc. In other words, it quickly searches out all of the Junk Files, which are all safe to delete.
