About Disk Space and Junk Files
Junk files come from several sources. One is the Recycle Bin. Files are
not actually removed from the drive when you delete them using Explorer. Instead,
the files are moved to the Recycle Bin where you can retrieve them if you later
decide that you should not have deleted them. However, the files in the Recycle Bin
can use up a lot of space, and can contribute to disk fragmentation problems.
Empty your Recycle Bin to reclaim this disk space.
In addition, Windows and applications create various temporary files while running
that are not needed after the application exits or Windows is shut down.
In many cases, however, the applications do not always clean up after themselves.
One example is the files in the Internet Explorer cache.
These files will take up disk space unless you delete them.
Several methods for cleaning up junk files are discussed below.
