Thanks for all the tips stfcinbmth.
Every now and then my PC makes an annoying wirring labouring noise and slows down. Sometimes freezing once a day in the early hours, this is normally sorted with a re-start.
Question; is this normal ?

I've done a 'disk cleanup' and 'disk refragmentation'. Is there anything else I can do to clean out the system ?

TIA
