Data residue is an issue that bothers everyone, but only some are aware of it. This is why restoring deleted files is possible through data recovery software. Knowing this for a fact is excellent.

However, this information can bother you when you want a specific file permanently deleted. Fortunately, deleting data forever is possible, and it is possible using third-party software like Advanced System Optimizer. This post explains how you can do it. Keep reading to know more.

Recovery is a great feature until you have access to your PC. However, if you are to sell your PC? Or are you planning to give your PC to your sibling without deleting data forever? It is a bad idea. Thinking why? It is because if there are personal folders and files you do not want to share with anyone else, they are recoverable. Therefore, you need to delete these files permanently.

Note : The following techniques will delete your data inevitably. Hence, ensure you only imply these if you are OK with removing data permanently, as trying these on data you may require in the future is not advised.

Best Ways To Delete Secret Files Permanently From Your PC

Since people are into selling or exchanging their older devices, permanently deleting files has become one of the major concerns. This means deleting the files will not do the needful. You need to wipe your drive to erase data from it completely.

However, there is a difference between deleting a file and wiping data. When you delete a file, the shreds of the file are still available in the drive and can be undeleted. When you wipe the hard drive, all the data evidence is gone.

There are only two ways to wipe data entirely from your hard drive.

Method 1. Erasing data using System Recovery on Windows

The System Recovery option on Windows has a dedicated feature called Resetting this PC. It wipes all the data from the core and makes your PC ready to sell. It is not 100% permanent, but it makes recovering files more difficult. This means an individual would require a highly effective and complex data recovery tool to recover data from a reset PC.

Use the below steps to initiate the reset –

1. Click on the Start menu and navigate to settings.

2. In the settings, look for Recovery options and click on it.

system apps

3. Here, you will find an option to Reset the PC.

4. Click on it to initiate the process.

app recovery option

5. You will now get a pop-up asking about the data. Click on Remove everything. This will wipe all personal files and data.

reset this pc option

6. After choosing the Remove, everything option, follow the instructions.

With that, you’ve reset your PC and re-installed Windows while wiping the data from your PC. You might wonder, how is it more effective than simply formatting your hard drives? Well, for starters, the data recovery works on fragments of your drive.

If you have deleted something, the data is available in the fragments until overwritten with new data. Resetting the PC formats your hard drive and re-installs the Windows, overwriting data on the deleted drive. This process may take hours, but it is undoubtedly effective.

Method 2. Permanently Deleting Data Using Secure Delete Feature

The above method is helpful when you are sure you will no longer use the PC. But what if you only want to delete a few files permanently? In such a case, there are better solutions than resetting, and Advanced System Optimizer, the best PC cleaner software, provides the Secure Delete feature.

Unfortunately, for such situations, Windows does not offer an internal feature.

What is Advanced System Optimizer?

Advanced System Optimizer is a full-system solution that offers multiple modules to keep your PC optimized and your data safe. It has a dedicated Secure Delete feature that allows you to wipe selected files permanently from your computer, leaving no shreds.

Here’s how to use the Secure Delete feature of Advanced System Optimizer

If you have the Advanced System Optimizer on your PC, initiate the application from the Start menu. However, if not already installed, you can download the application from the given button.

Compatible with Windows 11/10/8/7

Advanced System Optimizer

1. Launch the PC optimization software.

2. From the options available in the left panel, click on Security and Privacy. On the right side, you will find the Secure Delete option.

security and privacy

3. Click the Select Files button to pick the files and folder to delete permanently.

wipe file and folder

4. Use Add File or Add Folder button and navigate to the file/folder location. Add them.

 

select file for delete

Note:- Using the Change option, you can select from the different wiping options.

5. After selecting the options > click Continue to proceed.

6. Check the box next to the added files and folders you want to delete permanently.

7. Click Next, and you are ready to remove the file.

select file for wiping

8. As the final step, input the numbers shown, and voila! It’s done!

file is wiped

This is how Secure Delete permanently removes selected files/folders from your PC.

Final Takeaway

You have both options; one offers complete PC data wiping, while the other offers flexibility. The choice is yours to make. If you ask me personally, the ability to remove individual or selective files permanently is convenient. Hence, I recommend downloading Advanced System Optimizer and using the Secure Delete feature.

That’s all for this blog, and I hope you find the helpful information. Good Luck!

Using a PC has become the ultimate necessity of today. No matter what field you are from, you will interact with a computer in one way or another. These machines have made our lives easier in terms of performing complex operations efficiently. While every industry has adapted elite versions of professional computing machines with higher potential, personal computers are always the most commonly used devices.

Industry-specific computers are well maintained and always have dedicated experts to handle malfunctioning, but the same is not the case with a PC. There are so many issues and problems that may arise when you are using one. Since it is a PC and only some users are  tech-heads, these problems may seem like a big issue.

In this blog, let us take a look at common PC problems that you might encounter while using and how you can fix them on your own.

5 PC Problems You Can Resolve on Your Own & How

Usually, people who are not tech-savvy tend to call experts for the smallest of errors on their PC. For instance, the error “Windows Explorer is not responding” might mean anything to you if you do not know that it is just a simple hanging issue.

Similarly, there are so many issues that seem bigger but can be easily resolved if you know the core cause. Take a look at the following 5 common issues that you can fix on your own.

1. Slow Startup Speed

If your PC is taking a long time to boot, chances are that you have a lot of startup applications lined up. Applications like your messaging tool, browser, antivirus, etc., often run automatically when your PC starts, and thus, your RAM is already occupied. If the startup speed is slow, follow the steps given below – ṣ

  • Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager
  • In the Task Manager go to the top left corner and click on the three-lined button to unveil the side options panel.

Task Manager

  • From the panel, navigate to startup apps and disable all unnecessary applications. To disable an app, select the application and find the disable button on the top panel.

Task Manager process

  • Simply repeat the process for all the unnecessary applications you can find.

After disabling all the applications, restart your PC, and you will instantly witness the difference in the startup time.

2. Windows Explorer Keeps Freezing

If the Windows Explorer  keeps freezing on you while switching applications, or you often encounter the Windows Explorer is not responding. Chances are that either your PC has lower RAM, or is infected.

If the RAM management is taking a hit, you can restore the balance of occupancy by opening the task manager and shutting down heavy applications instantly. Here’s how to do it.

  • Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the task manager
  • In the task manager, click on Memory to sort applications based on memory usage.

Task Manager end task

  • As you can see in the screenshot, 85% of the memory is already in use. If I were to launch another heavy application, it might freeze my PC, considering there’s not enough memory to be used.
  • End the processes/tasks that are not being used.

If you want to start a game, it is suggested that you shut down all the heavy applications. This will speed up the process.

This should easily resolve the freezing issue if the cause is lower memory. However, if this does not resolve the issue, you should go for an antivirus scan as there is a strong possibility of a virus attack.

3. Running out of Storage

If you have often received an error that your PC is running out of storage , it might be due to disk fragmentation or junk data.

This is a common problem as unwanted data keeps accumulating and takes up unnecessary storage space.

To recover space avoid keeping bloatware on your PC. Files that are not crucial or duplicate files must be instantly removed from your PC. You can also try to defragment your hard drive, here’s how that works –

  • Open This PC on your computer and select the drive you want to defragment.
  • Right-click on the drive to find properties. Open properties.

defragment drive

  • In the properties dialog box, navigate to tools here, you have the option to optimize your hard drive. Click on it.

optimize drive

  • Once you open it, you will find the information related to what percent of your hard drive is fragmented. click on optimize to resolve any fragmentation issue, and you are good to go.

This way, you can maintain your hard disk-related issues. If the storage is taken by duplicate files, you must find and delete them to free up space.

4. Overheating & Fan Noises

If you are using a laptop and it overheats every time you start using it, it might be a hardware issue. Shutting down the PC or lowering your usage hours can make a difference however it is always better to get the hardware checked.

Not to mention, if you are observing fan noise and hard drive noises, it is not a great sign for your PC. get it checked at a reliable service center instantly. To avoid any loss of data, make sure you have created backups.

5. Other PC Issues You Might be Unaware Of

It happens several times that you are unable to find simple and useful icons like This PC, Recycle Bin, etc., on the desktop. Or sometimes your PC blanks out for a moment and then automatically resumes. This seems to be a relatively smaller issue but can irritate you while  to avoid that, you must do something.

But how?  Well, a dedicated PC Optimizer called  Advanced System Optimizer can help  with the cleanup task and fix common PC issues. Here’s how the tool works –

  • Download and install Advanced System Optimizer on your PC from button below.
  • Run the application. You will find the home screen for the application that looks like this.

Advanced System Optimizer

  • From the home screen, select the scan type and click on Start Smart PC Care.
  • A new dialog box pops up. Here you will see the scan initiating. You can wait while the tool will check your PC for common issues  one by one.

smart pc care

  • Once the Analysis is finished, the software lists issues that were found in different sections of the PC.
  • Click on Optimize to initiate the process. The rest will be done by the software.

System Restore is the life savior for users facing serious issues. But when it fails to restore, nothing seems right. Here’s how to fix the system restore not working.

Stuck while restoring your PC to a previous working condition? Every year, thousands of Windows users face system restore not working issues that sometimes corrupt the entire hard disk. You might not realize it unless you are a victim.

The PC creates restore points to keep system files and data safe. These points help roll back your PC to the last known stable state. But when the System Restore crashes, things get complicated. If you are facing an issue restoring your Windows 10 PC, this blog is definitely for you!

In this article, we will be discussing ways to fix system restore not working on your PC.

What is System Restore?

It is the key to Windows PC recovery and can be used to restore the system to its last stable state in case of any unexpected crash. The feature is handy as it keeps your preferred settings safe during any malware attack.

From Windows 7 to the latest Windows 11, System Restore has been a part of all Windows operating systems.  The functionality that it adds to the PC is remarkable. Moreover, if any recent application has slowed your PC, you can restore it to the last known stable version.

Best Ways to Fix System Restore Not Working

If you have encountered any error while performing your System Restore, there might be something wrong with the restore points created. There are multiple ways you can handle the situation. Check them out!

1. Use a Different Restore Point

If there’s an issue with the current restore point, try choosing a different restore point.

If your last point is not letting you initiate the restore, chances are that it is corrupt. Avoiding it is the best you can do. To know details on the restore points available to you, follow the steps below –

  • Press Windows + R to open Run
  • Type rstrui and press enter
  • You will find a pop-up with the list of restore points available.

system restore

  • You might have multiple points available ( not shown in the picture above). Select a different restore point and click next.
  • This will initiate the process again. Ideally, it should solve your problem.

While a different restore point can help you fix system restore not working on Windows 10, you might lose some program files and registries created between the two restore points as it is not the latest one.

2. Try Running Restore in Safe Mode Without Networking

There are instances when your computer cannot function properly while connected to the network. If you have run System Restore on your PC directly from the menu and have faced an error, try running it in safe mode. Here’s what you have to do –

  • Go to Settings> Updates & Recovery> Advanced Startup. You will find a Restart Now button. Click on that to reboot your system to advanced options of starting your PC.
  • In the advanced options, follow the path – Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart. This will restart your PC.
  • While restarting your system, press F4 to boot in safe mode.
  • Initiate the process of System Restore in Safe Mode configuration.

Safe mode on any operating system is helpful when you want to isolate your PC from any third-party interference. If you have come across system restore not working on windows, this step can help you.

3. Expand Allotted Storage for Restore Points

There’s a set storage limit dedicated to restoring point creation. If the restore point image exceeds that limit, your point is either not created or previous ones are deleted. If you believe something like this might be causing the issue, you can allot more storage to the System Restore disk usage.

  • Type “Create Restore Point” in the start menu search bar and open the available option.

create restor point

  • This will take you to the system properties popup. Click on Configure.

system properties

  • In the Configure menu, you will find a slider that you can use to expand the disk space. Set it as per your requirements, and you will be ready.

system protection

  • Click on Apply and restart your PC to check whether the System Restore is working properly.

Using the above steps and performing system repair and deleting old system restore files, you can fix the System Restore not working issue.

How to delete Old System Restore Points in Windows 8, 8.1, and 10

  1. Press Windows + S, and type disk clean in the Start menu bar. Right-click and select Run as administrator.
  2. Select C: as it is the Windows drive you want to clean, press OK. Disk Clean-up will calculate the amount of space available for cleaning.
  3. Click the More Options tab. Under System Restore and Shadow Copies, select Clean-up.
  4. Press Delete if you want to proceed.

This method keeps your last System Restore point in place, whereas pressing the Delete key will clean all the points.

This is how you can fix the issue. However, if you want to keep your PC optimized and clean and avoid facing these issues, keeping it optimized is suggested.

Writer’s Tip

If you are looking for a way to clean junk files and duplicates, keep drivers updated and perform other operations that will help tune up your PC, we suggest using Advanced System Optimizer. It is an advanced PC cleanup tool that offers 25+ tools, all of which help in tweaking the computer. The tool helps enhance your PC’s performance, optimize disk, and more. To use it follow these steps:

  • Download and install the software on your PC. It hardly takes a few minutes as the process is super smooth.
  • Launch the software and start using it. If you need a quick system scan and elimination of errors, click Smart PC Care and perform the scan. You can pick from three scan modes – Custom Scan, Deep Scan, or Custom Scan.security and privacy option
  • Once the scan is finished, Optimize the errors and experience the difference.smart pc care

See? No complicated commands and steps to optimize the PC.

System Restore An Essential Feature

Keeping your system files backed up has become a basic necessity for any user. Windows offer System Restore for that. However, it often causes issues making you lose your important data in times of a mishap.

We, as users, usually do not pay attention to these issues until it’s too late, which is nothing but our careless nature. After reading this blog, check the status of your System Restore points. If they are working fine, keep checking on them frequently to stay assured.

If your PC faces System Restore not working on Windows 10, troubleshoot the issue with the mentioned techniques. You can also download Advanced System Optimizer to ensure your PC is always in an optimal working state.

Choose your restore option wisely! Good Luck!

Over time due to the accumulation of junk files, your PC might get slow. These are temporary files associated with the apps, cache, cookies, software leftovers, etc.

Luckily, there are different ways to clean these unnecessary files and free up space. The time and effort you will need to invest will depend on the method you will use to clear junk files.

If you are the DIY type, you can use manual techniques. However, if you are short on time and don’t want to keep yourself busy sifting through every folder and deleting unwanted files, use Advanced System Optimizer.

The PC optimization will help find and delete unnecessary files. Also, it will help update device drivers, clean spyware, adware, malware, virus, duplicate files, browsing history, optimize disk, identify large files, securely delete files, recover them, manage startup items, uninstall potentially unwanted files, and more.

So, read along carefully to learn about the best PC cleaning tool, how to use it, and how to use the manual. By the end of the post, we are certain you will be able to clean your PC and optimize it for fast performance.

Common Types of Junk Files

  • Temporary Files – These files are created using apps and the system. Although they are automatically deleted on each restart, sometimes they aren’t. You must manually look for them and clean them to de-clutter the PC.
  • Temporary Internet Files – The browser creates these files to speed up webpage loading time and is called browser cache.
  • Application Leftovers – When software is uninstalled, some of its corresponding files are left behind. These files are useless and should be deleted to keep the PC clean.
  • Recycle Bin Files – Deleted files that remain in Recycle Bin. Thus giving you a chance to restore deleted data.
  • Thumbnails – These files help quickly load previews of images and videos. Deleting them might take slightly longer to load the pictures and video.
  • Windows Upgrade Log Files – During Windows updates, Windows creates logs of the activity performed. These files help troubleshoot, but you can delete them if Windows works fine after the upgrade.

Benefits of Cleaning Junk Files?

Free Up Space – Junk files, as the name explains, are files that the PC no longer uses. Yet, they occupy unnecessary space on space. If you are running low on space or the PC is performing slow and sluggish, you should consider cleaning junk files from Windows 11 & 10.

Enhance system performance – A computer filled with clutter and unmanageable data puts extra load on processing and system resources. Deleting junk files helps manage the data, speed up downloads, virus scanning, and system speed.

Clean infections – Junk files can work as a home for malware files to hide, meaning you should get rid of them ASAP before hackers can take advantage of junk files.

How To Get Rid of System Junk on Your PC

There are multiple ways to delete junk files from your computer, and most of them coincide. Here we will explain the best ways to clear temporary files from Windows 11 and 10.

Method 1 – Empty the Recycle Bin

One of the most common yet overlooked ways to clean up junk files is to empty Recycle Bin. Every file you delete from the PC is moved to Recycle Bin. They sit here unless the Recycle Bin is emptied. To clean it, follow these steps:

  • On the Windows desktop, look for Recycle Bin.
  • Double-click on it to open.
  • Before you, empty Recycle Bin, cross-check all the files because once you empty it, you can no longer manually restore files. To retrieve them, you will have to use data recovery software.
  • Select the files and folder you want to clear and press the Delete button.
  • Confirm the action, and that’s all.

Tip : If you are okay losing your one chance to recover accidentally deleted files and don’t want files to move to Recycle Bin, use Shift + Delete to remove files and folder. This will save you from accumulating junk data.

Method 2 – Use Cleanup Functionality

Alongside clearing the Recycle Bin, if you are Windows 11 user, you can clean junk files using Cleanup recommendations. To do so, follow these steps:

  • Press Windows + I to open Windows settings.
  • Double click System > Storage > Cleanup recommendation.

storage management

  • Let the Scan run and show temporary, large, and unused files that you can clean to free up storage space.
  • Select them and click Clean up.

system cleanup

  • This will help deal with Temporary files. In addition, you can see the space Apps & features and Other programs are taking up.

You can also Configure Storage Sense by clicking the Storage Sense option.

system storage

This will keep Windows running without any problem. To clean files using Storage Sense, enable the option > check the box next to Keep Windows running smoothly by automatically cleaning up the temporary system and app field. > and enable Storage Sense under Automatic User Content Cleanup.

automatic usercontent cleanup

Method 3 – Run Disk Cleanup

To clean unnecessary data, junk files and temporary files, all versions of Windows comes with built-in Disk Cleanup. With its help, you can eliminate cache, temporary internet files, and thumbnails.

  • In the Windows search bar, type Disk Cleanup > select and open it.
  • Select the drive you wish to scan and click Ok.
  • You will not get a life of unwanted files you can remove. Select the files and click Ok.

disk cleanup for os

  • Select Clean up system files > select the drive again > wait a few seconds for Windows to calculate the space you could restore by deleting these junk files.
  • Choose the files you want to remove > select OK > Delete Files.

Method 4 – Clean Temporary Files Using File Explorer

Even though Netflix has hundreds of movies to pick from, there are occasions when you simply cannot find something you enjoy. Perhaps you’re traveling in a distant nation where Netflix is not permitted, but you’re desperate to catch up on “Selling Sunset.” That’s fine because a VPN allows you to access another country’s Netflix collection quickly.

What Is The Procedure For Using A VPN For Netflix?

Before we begin, let’s acquire a fundamental knowledge of how everything works in the VPN world. Assume you live in the United States and want to watch a show that is not broadcasted in the United States. This is where a VPN plays its role!

You may use a VPN to connect directly to a remote server in the United States and watch Netflix material accessible in that area. That is the power of a VPN! You may access a wide choice of entertainment content and specific regional content of any country or location if you use excellent VPN services like Systweak VPN. Simply select a server, establish a secure connection using a VPN, and you’re done.

With Systweak VPN, you may watch Netflix TV videos at a reasonable speed. There is no latency, and ISP throttling, which slows down internet connections. Switch on this VPN and begin viewing Netflix without interruptions.

Systweak VPN is a jack of all crafts. It aids businesses in securing their networks. Everything about this service is amazing, which is a benefit in times like these when attackers are prowling about. It assists in the security of data and ensures anonymity when using the internet.

Systweak VPN has many features, but it lacks virus protection & a ad blocker, which are features that several other VPNs contain.

I’m fine with this exclusion because ad blockers have been shown to collect user data on several occasions. In addition, the basic function of a VPN is to disguise IP addresses, give privacy, and enable fast streaming speeds, among other things. Systweak VPN for PC does all of this and more.

Systweak VPN has a Kill Switch feature that only works with VPNs. If your internet connection stops for whatever reason, Kill Switch will stop all outgoing & receiving traffic. As a result, it adds an extra coating of protection.

How To Use Systweak VPN:-

  • On a Windows PC, download & install Systweak VPN.
  • Create a Systweak VPN account.
  • To stream Netflix from that location, change the nation.

  • Once you have successfully entered the desired region, you can watch the region’s content like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc.

Yes. Even though Netflix’s powerful geo-blocking function bans practically all VPNs, Systweak VPN understands how to play clever and lets its users access restricted Netflix. Its innovative features are meant to get around geo-blocks while keeping you safe.

To get around these bans and retain security, Systweak VPN combines DNS with VPN technology.

Systweak VPN is the finest VPN for PC since it helps you bypass internet censorship. Check the secrecy option, which is underlined in the picture below, to unblock material in China & other countries:

Systweak VPN adheres to a stringent no-log scheme. This implies that the VPN connection or browsing history is unknown to this VPN for Windows. They do, however, gather certain basic information, which is detailed in their privacy policy. Systweak VPN only notices if a user is connected to its server; it has no knowledge of the user’s IP address/DNS query.

This is what distinguishes it as the finest VPN for maintaining user privacy.

To watch Netflix in a different region, Systweak VPN is the best VPN that bypasses every hurdle and will allow you to browse the geo-restricted content. Systweak VPN is the best VPN that ensures the privacy and secrecy of users when they browse any content that is geo-restricted.
