cleanup on your Laptop or desktop computer? When last did you delete temporary

off? Or it takes forever for it to even boot up, then you need to allow me turn
you into a PC geek this weekend, chill and follow me carefully.

The first thing we are going to do is to perform disk cleanup. Disk clean up automatically delete temporary files occupying space on your
laptop, just like the way you can’t breath well whenever you are being attack
by carttarh, it most atimes clears whatever makes your system to be slow.

    • Hello Babs,
      If it can be detect extend on ur laptop but can't be detected on another Lappy, den somethings is wrong somewhere.
      Copy all d files on ur laptop then format from ur laptop.

      If you can't copy those files from it, then follow the post I made earlier on how to recover hidden files from ur drive.

      Obviously, virus must have infiltrated your drive.

    • Hello Edosa,
      You got that error dump files probably bcos virus has infiltrated your hard disk or you hard disk is heavily fragmented.

      If it can't boot up again, then you'll need to perform a system restore on that PC. If it refuses to restore, then you'll need to repair it by roloading you operating system.
