When my computer was being worked on the windows person told me to type prefetch in the run prompt and enter prefetch and delete everything in the folder and delete the stuff in the %temp% folder and it helped my computer a lot it seemed, so I was recommending ccleaner deletes the stuff in this folder 2. Since they haven’t done that yet I recommend trying it and commenting about if you liked the effects or not please comment

You should read the many previous threads on the Prefetch issue.
