Simple tools for PC cleanup:

Image via Wikipedia Clean up is always a good thing when it comes to keeping your PC clean and also making it perform better while saving some disk space at the same time. Few days back while I was goggling hoping to find a software tool that can remove older java versions installed in my computer, I got lucky - I found a tool named " JavaRa " at this site: http://raproducts.org/ . It removed older versions of java and created a log for me see what it actually removed. That's so cool! I found another cleanup tool in that same site ; it is called " PureRa ". This tool removes certain files that resides in your PC and left there untouched/unused. The removal of these files saves quite a lot of space in the hard disk.

Cannot delete Folder?!?!!

Image via Wikipedia "Cannot delete Folder: It is being used by another person or program." Have you ever had difficult time deleting a folder. Every time you tried to delete it you get a message from windows "Cannot delete Folder: It is being used by another person or program." This happened to me when I tried to delete the Adode 8 folder in my "C:\Program Files\ Adobe ". You might want to try a cool software called "Unlocker" which will make sure that folder you could not delete gets deleted successfully!! Download Unlocker
