And Windows doesn't have built-in services that can do that job for the system at all.Īs an example, we'll use a notebook with a freshly installed SSD device (128 GB). Some programs, like browsers, have special commands that clean their temporary files, cookies, history, and so on, but such commands have to be run manually every time the user closes the program. Such files can be deleted or cleaned without harming Windows' performance. Windows and its various programs consume a large amount of storage space for their caches, temporary data, and service files. Even for conventional hard drives, which are much larger in capacity, this still may be an issue especially when they are installed in computers used for massive data processing tasks like heavy gaming, multimedia production, and desktop publishing. As a result, free storage space is always scarce for SSD devices. Even a quite powerful laptop may have an SSD drive of only 128 GB.
