Hard Drive Powerwash

Installing and uninstalling software, browsing the Internet and a lot more types of computer activity tend to slow it down more or less and one of the most common reasons for this is the constant increase in the number of clutter files. These are temporary files which are collected during Windows activity and are left useless after.

To remove them, you can use the default Windows tool or give Hard Drive Powerwash a try, The latter is an application that is especially designed to help you remove file clutter from your computer, free up hard drive space and memory.

Hard Drive Powerwash is quick to install and conveniently enough, easy to use. After a short installation process, the application is good to go and with a few clicks you can assign it to search for files only in the default temporary folders or perform an in depth scan of your entire hard drive.

Scan customization doesn’t stop there. The application provides a large list of file formats which generally fit the profile for clutter material and you are able to manually choose which ones you want to get rid of.

Temp files can be located all over your drives and can have more or less influence on the performance of your machine but even if the toll is minimum, it’s still better to not have them at all opposed to letting them pile up.

Of course, the time it takes to perform a complete scan depends on the size of the drives and their structure but even so, it takes a few minutes. After its done, the results are neatly sorted and displayed in categories such as ‘Temporary files’, ‘Log files’, ‘Images’, ‘Internet files’ and ‘Registry keys’. From there you can manually choose those that need to be deleted or remove them all at once.

A thing you should be aware of is that in some cases Hard Drive Powerwash can't distinguish between software that is installed and being used and that which is uninstalled but has some leftover files. For this reason you should double check to see what you’re removing, especially when it comes to text files.

To wrap it up, Hard Drive Powerwash is a cinch to use, it works fast, can be set to include or exclude file types and folders, as well as scheduled to perform automatic maintenance, all good reasons to give it a try.
