If your drive is nearly full (around 476.81% of 500 used), consider moving some files elsewhere to free up space. Perform basic cleanup actions like a disk scan, which helps Windows remove old logs and unused data. Avoid third-party applications unless you’re sure.
In your browser, clear your history, clear caches, and delete cookies. Keep in mind that deleting cookies may cause the site to load slightly slower on your next visit, but it will remove temporary data from previous sessions. Also, check your laptop’s ventilation; dust buildup can block fans and raise temperatures, slowing performance.
