Novice/Newbie

I've recently downloaded CCleaner but im not sure what files i'm going to be deleting, on cleaner settings I just a tick in 'internet explorer' and all the sub folders, and I have marked all folders in 'applications', I have clicked 'Analyze' but i when the locations appear I have no idea what they are. I only really want to delete internet history, old files, old pictures, music / video clips i've dowloaded etc.

What are the other folders for: Windows Explorer, System, Advanced? and what will they delete?

Basically, I want to free up some space on my system as it is running very slow at the minute...

Can anyone advise what settings I should have it on to do this?

You can untick the advanced checkbox, until you learn more about CCleaner.

You might want to disable the Hotfix uninstaller.
