Junk File Finder: Find and Remove Junk Files

To access:

From the Individual Tools pane, click Clean Up System Clutter and then click Start next to Find and Remove Junk Files.

What it does:

The Find and Remove Junk Files wizard cleans out obsolete and unneeded files based on the criteria you choose.

Why use it:

Over time, junk and obsolete files, such as file remnants not removed due to sudden shutdowns or program-related errors, can accumulate and unnecessarily consume drive space. The Find and Remove Junk Files tool thoroughly erases these unneeded files.
