As you use and move files around, the files stored on your hard drive become fragmented—instead of storing all of a file’s components together, the parts are stored in noncontiguous clusters.

Click the Start button and type “Disk Defragmenter” in the search box. Select “Disk Defragmenter” from the results. Select a drive you want to defragment and click “Analyze disk”. Enter in your administrator password if prompted. Click “Defragment disk”. Enter in your administrator password if prompted.

Click the disk you want to clean and press “Ok”. Select “Delete Files”. Windows 7 comes with several animations that are enabled by default.
