While there may be other reasons as to why your system is running slow, cleaning the temporary files may be a good option to start with. Here is how you can manually delete all or some temporary files on your Windows 7 system:

1. Click on Start and in the search box, type the following keyword: %temp% and press Enter key. This command will open up your temporary files folder.

2. To delete selected files, left click on all the items that you want to delete keeping the Ctrl key simultaneously pressed. When finished selecting, release the Ctrl key.
