DELETING TEMPORARY FILES

-Salamander
 Files and programs that are left idle or cluttering in your
computer tend to affect the performance of your system. This
happens when the disk space is heavily occupied and more
computer resources are allocated to keep track of them.
During a read request, the disk needs to bypass all
unnecessary files to access the required data. Hence, there is
a significant performance dip. In certain situations, poorly
written applications can cause undesirable effects such as
erratic system hangs, blue screens or conflict with other
software.
