Microsoft's New PC Manager App Slows Down Your Computer Despite Clearing Space
-
Microsoft's new PC Manager app has a "deep clean" option that deletes files, including from the Prefetch folder, which actually slows down your PC.
-
The Prefetch folder contains data to help apps launch faster, so deleting this data causes apps to boot slower.
-
Avoid using the deep clean option in PC Manager as it will slow down your PC's performance.
-
Try alternative cleaning methods instead of PC Manager's deep clean to avoid deleting the Prefetch folder.
-
The PC Manager app saves disk space from its deep clean but slows down overall PC operation, so it's best not to use this option.
