How To Permanently Delete Files From Your Computer

When you delete a program in your computer, there are still some values  that remain in the registry. Though your system can work just fine with the values still undeleted, erasing them in your PC will likely optimize your computer’s performance.

1. Manual removal. This is a method that must be done only if you have a lot of experience and knowledge when it comes to the registry. Extreme caution must be practiced because a simple mistake can make your whole computer system dysfunctional. Here's what you need to do:

• Open Registry Editor. From the Start Menu> Run and then type "regedit" so the Registry Editor will open. Go to the Edit and Find menu.
• Search the program's registry value. Type the name of the program that is subject for deletion. Click find and wait for the Registry Editor to display all the entries that are connected to the program you are deleting.
• Delete the entry. Click an entry displayed in the screen. Right click the entry and choose delete. This step will erase the particular value from the system registry. To find another entry related to the program, press F3. Delete each entry until there are no more instances of the deleted program in the registry.

2. Automatic removal. This is a safer way to erase files in the registry because every action is limited within the safe limits of registry cleaning. Follow these steps for a successful automatic deletion of registry values:

• Find a registry cleaner. This refers to the software that functions to automatically delete registry values for you. Find a reliable and efficient one to guarantee success in the process of deletion. Take note that there are paid and free software for you to choose from.
• Download the program. Upon choosing the best registry cleaner available for you, download it in your computer. Then, follow the instructions in the software to install it right away.
• Scan the registry. After scanning, the software will display all the unnecessary entries in the registry.
• Back up the registry. It is important that you back up the registry before deleting some files to make sure that even when something goes wrong, you can be able to fix things back again. The software will usually ask you to back up the files first before you will be allowed to proceed on the deleting process. Follow instructions for backing up the registry.
• Delete the registry value. At this point, it will be safe for you to already clean the registry of the unnecessary values. Check the instructions on the software for a successful finish.
