Normally after analysing a list is produced for your approval before any data is deleted with some cleanup disks specifically working with Windows and others with Mac and even some that can clean both. Compressed files may be accessed after compression, but times may be increased or vary from system to system. Users also have the option to compress files that have not been used over a period of time, which frees valuable space and enables the computer to work faster. Some of the functions performed by a disk cleaner include compression of old files, removal of temporary windows and temporary Internet files, removal of unwanted downloaded programme files, clearance of recycle bin, removal of unused applications or optional components and setting up log files. A search is carried out firstly and then the tool analyses the files on the hard disk that are no longer needed and removes anything that is unnecessary. Disk cleaning is vital for all computers as it liberates disk space on a computer hard drive.
