After using your PC for a long time, you’ll feel the PC runs slower. It’s time to clean system cache and make PC faster now!

As you know, Windows OS always save starting cache files in windows folder, which is defult at C:\Windows. There is a sub folder which is specifically used for saving that type of files: “C:\Windows\Prefetch“.  Get into that folder, and select all files in it then delete them. This operation will speed up your PC starting.

Now let’s talk about Windows Cache. When Windows OS is running, it always creates system cache files, which will take the disk space a lot(about 50-300MB I think). Here is a way to clean these system cache easiest:

Click on “Start” button and select “Run” item, then type this command in:

sfc /purgecache

This command will clean all system cache files automatically. It will finish working once the running commandline window closed.

You can restart your PC to test the speed now!
