The first time I knew anything about cleaning my PC Windows was the only OS I had used and was the only one I knew about. Back then I periodically emptied my recycle bin and accounted for special times to allow my computer’s disk defragment.

And even though all Operating Systems, including Windows, have improved their data management techniques now, one still needs to know how to manually initiate disk cleaning and management processes. If it is not to create more space (maybe you have too much space you can be bothered about), it is to improve your computer’s performance.

It would be a misconception to think Windows and MacOS are the only Operating Systems with fancy system cleaning apps. Linux has a lot of them under its belt. But today, I will tell you of just 10 ways to keep your system clean and free of unnecessary cache.
