disk cleanup in windows vists

In Msft that would xp I used a utility that would clean out un needed
files,

how do I find similar utilities in Windows Vista? In XP under
programs, there was a category called ACCESSORIES . Is there one in
Vista?

best, Aaron

The Accessories folder is where it always has been, open up Start Menu > All
Programs > Accessories. In this folder you will also find the System Tools,
including Disk Cleanup.

Start Disk Cleanup:

Hi Aaron,

If you mean Disk Cleanup, then yes Vista has it. This tutorial will show you everything about it in Vista.

Disk Cleanup


A great free 3rd party program called CCleaner is a great utility program to have to clean up junk files from your computer.

CCleaner - Home


Hope this helps you,
Shawn

Re: disk cleanup in windows vists

It's located at Start Menu > Accessories > System Tools (same place as it
was in XP).
