How I removed unwanted files from my computer

 

I’ve a laptop and I’m not a tech savvy. I don’t know much about the computer, I just use it for my office work and for watching movies etc. So due to this a lot of temporary files were generated on my laptop and it was causing my laptop to work slowly. All those temp files were lagging my laptop a lot. I had to talk with joseph at geek squad tech support who guided me with the steps to clean the temp files on my laptop.
