Think it over. You will soon agree with my opinions on why periodically purging unwanted files, including adult or inappropriate material and other
files and material from your hard drives is a great idea. Retrieval speed
for documents and other files, specifically when accessing hard disk files can vary
depending on the total number of all files found in the file system. This might seem
odd, but it makes sense when you realize that when the drives contain more files,
and the file allocation tables (a table of contents for files) get larger, the HDD
works harder as files are requested by the user. And whenever we delete or save a
file, file fragments get scattered around the hard drive over time and this negatively
affects data read rates. Additionally keeping private files private is more difficult,
the more files you have that you would rather keep secret, the higher the likelihood
is that any other computer user of your PC might be able to get their hands on this
data. And purging any private or undesirable files will make resources available
again which can then be put to other uses.
Search the internet and you will find many cleanup tools each of which approaches
the HDD analysis & cleaning process from different angles. Many shareware programs
can help you erase porn as well as clean up general unwanted material.
There is usually much is more that these applications can perform; for example some
can delete private data, clean up porn files, find programs that are not properly
licensed, and free space analysis.
