Method and device for cleaning junk files

Abstract

The invention discloses a junk file cleaning method and device. The junk file cleaning method comprises the following steps: all drivers installed in an operating system as well as a driver currently used in the operating system are acquired; all components installed in the operating system as well as a component currently used in the operating system are acquired; capacity of currently unused drivers and components of the operating system is calculated, and a cleaning prompt interface is generated; and the currently unused drivers and components of the operating system are cleaned when a cleaning operation instruction is received. According to the junk file cleaning method and device, the space capacity of the currently unused drivers and components can be scanned and calculated, junk cleaning can be performed on the drivers and components, the system can operate stably, more accurate capacity information of junk files can be acquired through scanning and displayed to a user, occupation of storage space by redundant drivers and components can be reduced greatly, more storage space can be released, and the performance and user experience can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a method and device for cleaning garbage files. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology, we rely more and more on terminals such as computers and mobile phones in our daily life, and the requirements for the operating speed of computers are also getting higher and higher. After being used for a certain period of time, the computer will generate a large number of junk files, which will occupy a large amount of system memory and hard disk storage space, and will affect the operation speed during operation and affect the normal use of users. In order to effectively improve the running speed, it is necessary to clean up the junk files in the computer and release more storage space. [0003] At present, the cleaning of junk files is usually performed by scanning the system and commonly used software to identify junk software and clean it up. Usually, multi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When a hardware device has multiple drivers installed, a lot of storage space will be wasted and the performance of the computer will be affected

Moreover, in the process of upgrading the components, the installation packages of various application programs will be downloaded for installation, therefore, a large number of components of different versions will be accumulated

However, the current cleaning technology for junk files does not clean up drivers, components, etc.

Moreover, due to the existence of a large number of hard-linked files in the system, during the scanning process, the size of deleted files is repeatedly counted, resulting in a gap between the actual size of the freed space and the size of the scanned budgeted freed space Relatively large, so that the user experience is relatively poor
