Defragment Your Hard Drive

In addition to running Disk Cleanup from time to time, you really need to defragment your hard drive as well, but perhaps not as frequently. The first step in the defragment process, Analyze, is a quick one, and will let you know if you need to defragment. I will run the defragment sometimes even if I am told by the Analyze step that it doesn't need it. Just look at the amount of red that is displayed when you run the Analyze step in the process and you be the judge. Defragmenting your hard drive can aid in the overall system performance of your PC.
