'dumped the cache'

"Excuse my ignorance but what is cache?"

There is a lot of "stuff" your system normally hides from you, which is nonetheless on the drive, and may cause you grief.

WARNING- do not run the following software without carefully noting which boxes are checked in the "clean" column, because it defaults to remove your cookies, and some other useful files you may want to keep. Look carefully before running the first time.


CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a freeware system optimization tool. That removes unused and temporary files from your system

I'm scared to try and clean it out. I will probably destroy it in trying to fix it. I have three options the way I see it.

1 Try and fix it and destroy it, thereby having to buy a new computer.

2 Wait till it self-destructs on it's own by being filled to it's capacity with useless tripe, thereby having to buy a new computer.

3 Overloaded with so many viruses that it won't even turn on anymore, thereby having to buy a new computer.

See my conundrum?

See how dumb I am at computers. It took me this long. I got rid of 64.5MB......is that a lot?
