A cluttered or slow computer can feel frustrating, especially when storage fills up, pop-ups appear, or everyday tasks start taking longer than they should. The good news is that most computers benefit from a few safe cleanup steps that don’t require technical experience.

The Computer Cleanup Coach helps you work through a guided plan based on what you’re noticing — whether you want to free up space, improve speed, stay more organized, or feel safer online. Each step focuses on practical actions that are easy to do at your own pace.

This tool is designed for older adults and beginners who want clearer guidance without overwhelm. You can also print your checklist or save it as a PDF for later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to follow these cleanup steps?

Yes. This tool focuses on basic, low-risk actions such as clearing downloads, removing clutter, updating your computer, and avoiding suspicious pop-ups. If something feels unfamiliar, it’s always okay to pause before deleting anything.

Will this tool speed up my computer?

It can help in many common situations. Cleaning storage, reducing startup clutter, and updating your device often improves performance over time. If your computer is still very slow afterward, professional support may be helpful.

Do I need to download any software?

What should I do if I keep seeing pop-ups or warnings?

Be cautious. Do not call phone numbers shown in pop-up alerts and avoid clicking unfamiliar buttons. Close the browser tab, restart your computer, and consider running a trusted security scan if the issue continues.
