Some QUICK questions I have

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hey guys! I really think CCleaner is going to be a very useful tool to help speed up and free space on my computer. I just have a few general, IMPORTANT, questions. So if you have time, please answer the following questions:

1) What does Clipboard mean under Windows > System > Clipboard

2) What are temporary files?

3) What are memory dumps?

4) What are windows log files and windows error reporting?

I want to try and get rid of a lot of useless files on my computer. What are the best options? I have unchecked a lot of things to clean under Windows > System - Because I'm not sure if CCleaner will delete any important windows files - causing my computer to mess-up and not run properly.

Thanks! :)

Welcome to the Forums. :)

Please read the CCleaner Docs carefully since you are new to this:

Here is the link.

The best options are usually what were checked by default. If you read through everything given in the Documentation, you will know what is best for you.

And my advice is that you do not use the Registry Cleaner, or at least unless you know what you're doing. It doesn't help too much anyway.

If you have any further problems, do write back.

Thank you.
