How to clean up my computer?

Sorry Daniel, I was trying to be funny :))) Now I will be serious - no, he is doing Graphics for his tech subject. A tech subject is compulsory for him as his school has Technology status. You might like this one though .... before options, he had to make a spaghetti bolognese. Not being a star in that department, I took pity on him and weighed everything out for him, but couldn't find anything small enough to take 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. You've guessed it .... he thought I'd weighed the garlic and put the entire potful in (a jar's worth). It stunk the school bus out and of course we couldn't eat it, so it went straight in the bin which is kept in our garage - and all we could smell in the garage for weeks afterwards was garlic. Have a good day, Mandy :)

I meant for his design Technology. If he did, tell him to pull out now. Rediculously hard and pointless.

Daniel, he didn't pick Food as an option, he picked The Great Unwashed ... and I reckon he'll get an A* if he carries on the way he's doing LOL. Goodnight! Mandy :)

Daniel, I'm speaking to you in a mother's voice - sort your pc out while you're resting LOL. I have a son doing his GCSEs next year. Hope the results are what you're expecting and that you haven't been spending too much time on GR! Mandy :)

Control panel, Performance and maintenance, free up space on disk, follow instructions. Failing that, Polish and cloth. I'm sure there are other ways but thats all i do.

Anyone got any advice on how to do this? I would be very grateful.
