Your Computer Needs A Cleanup
When did you last perform a System Cleanup, or had one done? More importantly, when was it done well?
If you need help remembering, your computer needs one. I follow many of these same steps when I do a New System Setup. This is often due to pre-installed bundled software.
Even if a Cleanup has been done, it may have yet to be done properly and personalized to your needs. I'm not usually that direct, but it’s true.
Keep in mind that I have 20 years of experience doing this.
I have yet to sit down in front of a client's computer without noticing things I can do to improve performance and make it more user-friendly and less frustrating.
This includes computers where another supposed IT professional has done a System Cleanup. Still, the client ended up unhappy due to rushed work or simply not taking pride in their work, and the client decided to call me instead.
Consider this blog post the Table of Contents for my How-To Guides on the steps I recommend when performing a proper System Cleanup.
