Empty Computer Temporary Files and History

Every time a program is installed  or uninstalled, a webpage is viewed, etc, there files that lay in special “temporary folders” (directories/indexes) on your computer’s hard drive. With that said, there is a user friendly freeware called “CCleaner” to help you. This tool is a one button click to take out the trash on your system. We were surprised that the first time it was used on a system, that it found over 2 gigabytes of trash on one client’s computer.  However, we have noticed that it doesn’t catch everything as well as some other commercial applications does, it will keep most of the left overs off the system.  

If you’re concerned about security and completely removing highly sensitive evidence or information from your system, then we recommend you scale up to a specialized application such as Evidence Nuker.  Like CCleaner, it will do what it does and then some (or really much more.)
