The Quick Fix to prevent your computer running slow

Social Media
Social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook take up huge memory space making your computer run slow. Removing friends or unfollowing people and pages, if you use Facebook for games such as Farmville or similar that you do not use anymore it would also be a good idea to disconnect them from your account.
Photo and Video Space

Each photo takes up at least 3.5 megabytes of space no matter where you store them and videos hold even more. A tip would be to create a folder at the end of the year with all the most meaningful photos to you and delete the ones that do not mean as much. Not only will this save massive amounts of memory space but it will also be able to find the photos easy without worrying about losing them
Emails
Emails take up a colossus amount of storage space, if you receive emails that you don’t need in your inbox or that have little or no relevance to you delete them.
