Surfing the web and noticing that your computer is running slow?  Did you know that every time you “surf the net” your computer keeps all the pictures you see on websites?  These files are called Temporary Internet Files or Cached Files. 

The main reason this occurs is so that each time the user (you) visit the website only the changed bits need to be downloaded from the internet.  In the days of dial up internet this was a great idea, but now we have fast speed internet, it is not necessary.  The more Temporary Internet Files you have on your computer, the slower it runs.  Microsoft Windows have a disk clean up program. [Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Clean Up] however, it doesn’t do all that effective job. 

There are also many alternative tools that exist to erase the data; one of my favorites is a free program downloadable from www.stevengould.org called Disk Cleanup.  This is a simple program to run and does as excellent job of removing all the unnecessary temporary files from your computer.   You may be surprised at how many files are deleted!
