P8 - Undertaking Routine Maintenance Tasks

First I will be organising and naming files and folders.
Here is a New Folder, i will be using this folder to hold some work. It will be named My work. Just double click the name of the folder and change the name.
I have named this folder My Work. Although i have no more screenshots, these folders are essential to organise work, naming files works in exactly the same way as these folders.

Next I am going to schedule automatic deletion of unwanted data. first click sceduled tasks in the control panel.
Next click "Add Scheduled Task".
Disk Cleanup in the process that is done to delete unwanted or unused files.
I have chosen that i should have a Disk Cleanup weekly.
I have also chosen to have the cleanup happen are 7:00 on monday every week.
I am then asked to enter the password, this is for security purposes.
Next you just need to click next.


Here is the Disk Cleanup schedule in the list of tasks.

I also want to do my first disk cleanup manually. This is so i can delete my temporary files. in can find disk cleanup by following Start > Program Files > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup.
Here you can find temporary files, click it to select the deletetion on them. although I have none at this time i will still show you how it is done.
Clicking yes here will complete the deletion of your temporary files.
