Deleting downloads to save space?

I like to use "CCleaner" every so often. It's sometimes amasing how much space is being used up by temp files and your internet cache.
The program is free and easily available for download, just Google it.

You can reduce the size of your Recycle Bin if you have not done so already to free up space. You probably have setting at 10% thats 8GB( that's a lot of space to use up for files you've decided to delete.)
Empty your bin then just right click icon,select properties and move slider to about 2% which will be1.6GB (enough for me) Click Apply.That should release 6.4 GB for you.
If you delete an file that would cause the Recycle Bin to exceed that size, Windows will warn you with an error message. )0
