CCleaner-  This is one of the best PC unclogging utilities out there.  It cleans all of your cookies, garbage in your recycle bin, unused registry keys, and much much more.

1. Download it
2. Install it
3. Run the program.

The default settings usually are perfectly fine for beginners, but if not, tweak them to your desired settings.

Now to begin the process,

1. Click “Analyze”.  After its done scanning, it will point out the amount of space that it will clean out and what it will clean.
2. Hit “Run Cleaner” and it will work its magic.

It is now time to clean the registry

1. Go to the “Registry” tab on the left.
2. Click “Scan for Issues”-wait for it to scan
3. Click “Fix Selected Issues”
4. Answer yes or no (personally I don’t back up but that’s not necessarily the right thing to do.  I’ll leave that up to you)
5. “Fix All Selected Issues”.

Voila, you’re done.

A bonus feature to this program is their Uninstaller feature (Click “Tools” on the left).  It is a easy-peasy way of uninstalling useless programs.  Another plus, is the ability to tweak your computer’s start up programs which is located underneath the Uninstall button.  Look up the program in Process Library, and determine if you really want that program to start up.   Please don’t disable any anti virus programs and/or firewall.

CCleaner makes PC cleaning easy and painless.  If you like it, consider donating.
