    Lets just say your computer's running slow, and it just takes too long to open file explorer? This is the tutorial for you! :D

    Step 1. Create .bat files.
    In this step, you'll make batch files (.bat) The first one we're going to make is clearing your prefetch, I won't tell you what prefetch is now. First open up a notepad, in it type:

    DEL /q "C:\Windows\Prefetch\"
    pause

    Don't worry! This is completely fine for your system. All prefetch is is cache from whatever applications you have used! The next one is temp (temporary files) Open up another notepad and type:

    DEL /q "C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Local\Temp"
    pause

    This deletes the temporary files from the programs you've used.

    The next one is eventlogclear, but it takes a minute to clear. So open up another notepad and type in:

    for /f %%a in ('WEVTUTIL EL') do WEVTUTIL CL "%%a"
    timeout 30

    This clears the eventlogs when applications are used.

    That's the final. But one thing, saving them.

    Make sure to select save as, and then you'll pop up at this screen here:

    Your computer should be a little bit more faster. However, your system probably needs cleaning and defraggling.

    Download piriform ccleaner and defraggler from this website, just the free ones, no fancy stuff.
    http://www.piriform.com/

    Download them and immediately clean and defrag.

    Thanks for reading! Have a great and glorious day! :D

    most of the stuff on prefetch will deny you from deleting it just so everyone knows not to mention you can make this in one bat file
    DEL /q C:\Windows\Prefetch
    pause
    DEL /q C:\Users\(User)\AppData\Local\Temp
    pause
    for /f %%a in ('WEVTUTIL EL') do WEVTUTIL CL %%a
    timeout 30
    BE SURE TO RUN BAT AS ADMINISTARTOR or you will get a ton of failed

    Or you can just use Run and type "Prefetch" to clear it LOL

    I would also recommend adding
    del /q/f/s %TEMP%\*
    to get rid of all temp files on every temp folder

    What's not effective? The batch files?
