Computer software cleaning
Hello. I am having a trouble with my mac. I think it feels bit slower than before. I want to manually clean my mac, but I don't really trust any 'cleaner' applications. I think I have a lot of temp files from making videos in the past and chrome in general. I have all the hidden files viewable and I still can't find any junk to delete and afraid to mess with it. 1. How do I clean my browser(chrome)? 2. What possible cause can It make my computer run slower? Just to let you know. I deleted all of my chrome extensions, including ghostery and theme changers and re-downloaded Adblock, but it doesn't really help at all. Any suggestions or thoughts? |

by cleaning chrome do you mean removing all history, cache, cookies, etc? click on the three lines at the top right corner near the x button. click on history clear browsing data a menu should pop up with a bunch of options such as cache, cookies, history click all (or whichever you want) to delete them select the timeframe from which you want to delete (i usually just use from the beginning of time) then click clear browsing data not sure if this is what you meant, but it is the only way id know how to "clean" chrome im no computer expert as to why computers are slow, but this site seems to go through the most common reasons: http://www.businessinsider.com/why-y...ws-down-2013-8 (ive actually gone in and manually selected what i want to start-up when i turn on my computer and it seems to have helped out some as well - because running a lot of unnecessary programs at the same time takes up memory) also make sure you're constantly updating your computer (i dont use Macs, but i know windows has updates a lot that may go unnoticed so its best to have it check automatically and download them without you doing anything) |

Yeah CCleaner seems to be a popular choice, I've got it downloaded as well. Don't worry about deleting temp files, they won't be missed. Anything important won't end up in your temp file so go ahead and trash anything inside of it. And what exactly do you mean by "Cleaning Chrome"? Do you have a lot of adware or something? If so, probably want to get an anti malware program like malwarebytes. |
