On average, a user has around 30-40 apps installed on their desktop computer/laptop. If you have lots of storage space, you can install hundreds of apps without worrying about anything. However, few apps run in the background and can slow down the performance of your system.

The best way to deal with performance issues is by uninstalling the unused apps. Although you can uninstall an app from the Control Panel, few files need to be removed manually. Files like Program Cache, Temp Files, etc., don’t usually leave your system unless you remove them from the AppData folder.

You can easily free up a good amount of storage on your computer by just removing all those useless cache and leftover files. To ensure better performance, you should clear the program cache from time to time.
