Removing Large Files from your Windows System Drive

From time to time the old issue of alert or log spamming will come up.  With it the usual performance degradation and CPU throttling issues as well.  During these times, it is best to find the large temp or log files and remove them from your Windows System Drive, for return to performance stability (RTPS).  This can be done through Windows Search. 
 
Press Windows Key then press S
 
If you have downloaded Windows Search you will need to on the left side select Search Companion. 
 
Click all files and folders
 
From there then: 

Click What size is it? Double arrows to expand
 
Then you can put in the size of the files.  You can search for different file types as well such as (*.tmp, *.tpm, *.chk, *.log)
 
Select all (ctrl+a) then shift+del. 
 
Also you can modify system paging to use one file rather than many when creating the paging file.  This will help improve drive performance as well as minimize on orphaned files.  That can be done in System Properties - Advanced - Under performance click settings - than advanced tab - click change - set the minimum and maximum to 1.5 times the physical memory - click set - reboot for changes.
 
This should help you remove unnecessary files while optimizing system performance.
