[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 1122611, member: 31436"] Windows Disk-Clean-up works well and often can clean gigs of junk, if you let it delete old Windows Updates. But some third party cleaning tools can clean junk from a lot of third party apps and in doing so, can find a lot of junk that Disk Clean-up won't. Installing apps won't impact system performance if they don't have any services that run in the background when they are not being used. If you've got plenty of free space, then there's little need to worry about cleaning up junk. But if you're running low on space, third party cleaning tools can be useful. As for optimising Windows, there are some cases, when doing so can lead to a noticeable boost in performance. That's often not the case, but it does happen. I use the paid version of Pegasun System Utilities. My PC is noticeably faster after using it to debloat Windows. Third party cleaning tools should be used for care, as they can cause issues. Aside from a handful of exceptions, just about every registry cleaner will sometimes mistake valid registry keys for errors and will want to delete them, which can cause problems. Also, aside form freeing up disk space and sometimes boosting performance, it's very rare for any of these system utilities to fix any issues you have with a computer, despite the often impressive claims the publishers make. There's not an actual need to use such third party tools and it's fine to just let Windows take care of itself. But in some cases they can be useful. [/QUOTE]
