Internet History
Like cookies, Internet history makes it easier and quicker for the user. It is noticeable that when you use the Back and Forward buttons, the web page loads quickly because it does not need to be downloaded afresh. Each time you request a page on the Internet, a copy of that page is retained in the Temporary Internet Files folder. This is useful but the space taken up by these pages can accumulate to a large amount. Therefore it is useful for the clean up tool to free space by deleting pages from the temporary internet files.
All web browser programs come with a History feature. It details the websites and pages you visited for the past week or two. That way, you can quickly return to where you once were. Sometimes it may not be necessary for your computer to store these details and you may rather free up space.

Defragmenter
Each time you save a file, the space on your hard disk begins to fill. When files are deleted, some space becomes available, however sometimes when a file you want to save will not fit into the space made available also known as ‘gaps’. The system copes with this by fragmenting the file and storing the fragments wherever it can. Meanwhile additional space is taken up in the process noting the whereabouts of the fragment and the files on the disk become unorganized. Defragmenter rearranges files so that the gaps created are used up systematically, leaving available space.
