Why is it important to clear out old files on my computer?

Computer users often have dozens of megabytes of old and unnecessary files just sitting on their hard drives, taking up valuable space. What many people don’t realize is that old files can not only slow down their computer but can also contain personally identifiable information that puts their security at risk. Luckily there’s a solution: download CCleaner 2022 today and make sure your computers are sparkling in time for New Year’s Eve!

How do I keep my personal and professional information safe when I delete data from my computer?

When I say delete, I really mean deleting. There are many times when we think we've deleted files from our computer but they're still lying around. This is usually because we use too much space on our hard drive and it's necessary for us to go through them. Rather than try to figure out what's needed and what isn't, make it easier on yourself by downloading CCleaner 2022 instead of going in blind. Plus, it also protects you from accidentally saving files to a location where others could find them; every time you save something (or post a photo), keep in mind that people can recover that data if they wanted. Removing confidential information from your computer is only as secure as how thoroughly you remove those files.

What kind of storage do I need on my external drive or cloud storage account?

The amount of storage required by CCleaner depends on which version of Windows or Mac OSX you’re using. The Windows versions take up around 100 MB, while macOS takes around 2 GB, so make sure you have at least 3GB available space if possible. Cloud storage accounts such as DropBox and Google Drive both work with CCleaner, but we recommend using an external hard drive for a cleaner and more reliable experience. Whether it’s a flash drive or hard disk drive doesn’t matter; just be aware that files saved on external drives will typically not be synced online. It’s recommended that one should choose external drive rather than cloud storage account due to safety reasons.

When should I back up my computer, how often should I back it up, and where should I store those backups?
