Disk Cleanup is good every couple of weeks... Gets rid of unwanted cookies and shit.
Even better is Disk Defragmenter. I advise everyone to use this atleast once in 10 days... Really makes your computer run faster.
That's not true. It's a registry error causing it to hang. I had 1.5gb worth of temporary files that after I made the fix, it brought up in seconds.
The delete Temporary Internet Files works for that folder, but there is a Temp folder that the Disk Cleanup clears.
