    Is there any program that "cleans" your HD of unwanted and misc. temp files etc..just wondering bc i download a lot of suff and im sure there are things on my computer that i would like to clean up. I have also done a couple driver uninstalls/installs.
    Is there any problems or drawbacks to these cleaners?
    Where do i download? Thanks :)
