Removing junk files, deleting browsing history and temp files

The longer you use Windows Operating system the more personal data is stored in different locations such as temporary folder, MRU lists and registry. This information is scattered all around and after a while it grows so huge in size that it might begin to slow down computer. But sluggish performance as a consequence of the latter is not the only issue it emerges. Privacy is perhaps even more important. In this article I will walk you through a process of permanently deleting personal information on your computer.

All this personal info tells a lot about what you are doing on computer, what web pages you are surfing what documents you have used recently, what were your unread emails, who sent them, what files you opened for the last time, what programs you run etc. To get rid of this concern this is what to do!

Delete Internet Browser history and cookies.
Internet browser stores probably most important information of you web activity so it is always a good idea to erase it frequently. To do this manually, simply go to your browser's tools and options menu and choose delete private data. Thus you will erase a lot of personal information although for a more thorough process I advice you to use an automated system such as free Index data analyzer.

Delete temporary internet files, recycle bin and thumbnails
Free CCleaner cleaning utility does a very good job here, but if you prefer to manually erase these files, start Disk Cleanup Windows built-in utility and follow instructions.

Delete MRU lists
This is something a lot of users do not know about but is equally important. Cleaning temp files and cookies, does not erase registry inputs, hidden deeply in Windows "core" environment. For this, you need to go a little more advanced. For the job I recommend a free MRU-blaster.
