System Restore - Passion Fruit - Feb 28, 2015
I have had my pc for about 3 years now. I am on it nearly everyday and have sooo much random shit collected over the years from hs, games, misc, ect. My hdd is now full (1tb) and it is starting to run a little slow. So to deal with this I want to wipe everything. I never had to wipe my computer before, how would be the best way to do this? (No there is no virus's) Should I do a System Restore at the factory default, or wipe my hdd completely and reformat it...?

Wipe it completely and install fresh OS.

If you don't want your favourite stuff to get wiped-out also with the trash you can use 3rd party utilities like AVG PC Tuneup,Ccleaner,defraggler,
Jv powertools,Advanced system Care etc. to optimize your system without losing your customized OS enviourment and Favourite Stuff!
Re-installing the entire OS should be last resort if its too terrible.!
