Lighten the Load With Disk Cleanup---- Windows Me stores files in the Recycle Bin and in temporary directories for easier access. However, Windows saves so many files that eventually the waste can outweigh the ease. Speed up your computer and free some hard drive space with Disk Cleanup. From the Start button, select Disk Cleanup from System Tools in the Accessories menu. A pop-up window will appear to ask which drive you want to clean. Disk Cleanup will then quickly scan your hard drive to analyze the drive's wasted space. Once it finishes, the Disk Cleanup window will display the amount of wasted space for each file type that can be cleaned out. Check the boxes next to each file type you want to erase and press OK. The program will prompt you for deletion confirmation and clean your machine.
