What is data garbage? This is what the term means

The computer is used almost every day. Both at work and at university as well as at home. In the process, numerous files accumulate on the device, but you do not need them. In addition, there is content that is saved multiple times. This data garbage consumes storage space, which is why you can delete it.

What is data garbage on your computer

When you use your computer, various contents are automatically saved on it. However, these are not always just files that you need. Often, data is also saved twice or you don't even need it anymore. This is data garbage, because it is no longer needed and still occupies storage space on your computer. For this reason, it makes sense to regularly clean up the system with a suitable tool.

1. With the tool CCleaner, it is possible to find and then delete the data garbage from your computer.
2. For this, you must first download and install the tool on your computer.
3. Then you can start the software. Since you can also clean up websites with the tool, first go to "Settings" > "Cookies". Select all the websites from which you do not want to delete the cookies.
4. Activate all the items under "Applications" and "Windows" to examine them.
5. Then click on "Analyze". Danach sucht das Tool nach unnötigen und doppelten Inhalten.
6. Anschließend haben Sie die Möglichkeit, unter allen gefundenen Inhalten Dateien abzuwählen, wenn Sie nicht möchten, dass diese gelöscht werden.
7. Bestätigen Sie danach den Vorgang über „CCleaner starten“, um den Datenmüll zu entfernen.
