Lastly, you might also need to consider increasing your temporary memory or RAM. If this might be the case, search this site for SCD (Slow Computer Disease) or spyware and follow the recommendations we outline. If so, then you can have serious problems and computer slowness. The third type of cleanliness relates to whether or not viruses and spyware have attacked your system. It might seem contradictory to my argument earlier that our computers were meant to hold stuff, but it has to be the right kind of stuff…your stuff. Better yet, download Steven Gould’s CleanUp utility and use it. Use the Windows Disk Cleanup utility at least monthly to keep these files to a minimum. These temporary files stack up over time and can affect performance because of their small size and voluminous nature. Sometimes programmers will write code that deletes these files when they are no longer needed, but often times not. Every time we use our computers for anything, small files are created behind the scenes that we can’t see. The second type of cleanliness is the type of files being saved on your computer. ![]() If you can’t quit smoking for your own health, at least do it for your computer’s health or smoke outside.

Make sure you open your computer’s case and blow out the dust and grime periodically. ![]() By clean, I’m referring to physically clean and what types of files are stored on the system.Ĭomputers that accumulate too much dust and grime on the motherboard or vents will suffer from slow downs because the computer is battling heat problems and can’t perform to its maximum. The number of files you store on your computer has next to nothing to do with your perceived speed of the computer.Ĭomputer speed directly relates to how much RAM (temporary memory, not storage/hard drive memory) it has, how fast the processor is, and most importantly how clean your computer is. Your computer can never have have too much “stuff.” Your hard drive is designed to hold tens of thousands of documents, pictures, music and more. Every week I’m out making my rounds, I hear this expression “My computer is really slow it must have too much stuff in it and needs to be cleaned out.” ![]()
