Your desk isn’t the only thing that needs a good cleanup. Your computer does too! National Clean Out Your Computer Day (celebrated on the second Monday of February) is a great reminder to tidy up your digital space, improve performance, and keep security threats at bay.

Faster Performance: Too many files, outdated software, and unnecessary background programs can bog down even the best machines. A clean system runs smoother, helping you work efficiently.
