Sometimes, things don't work properly when there isn't enough storage space. Luckily, there are some quick, simple guides to clear your system files regardless of whether you're a Windows or Mac user. And don't worry - none of your documents will go missing!

Whether you're running a compact laptop, or a top-of-the-range PC - looking after your hardware is crucial to its longevity. Something as simple as wiping the dust off of your device (with a dry, microfibre cloth) can prevent air vents getting blocked, and thus stop other issues such as your device overheating. Similarly, avoid using any household cleaners on your device and/or peripherals (like your keyboard or monitors), as these often contain harsh chemicals that could cause damage with continuous use.
