Computer Games nowadays are getting heavier and heavier, as developers give lay special emphasis on every minute amount of detail that can prove the difference between a “just another” kind of game and a “super popular” one.
This also means, on the other hand, game freaks need to have their computer systems high powered enough so they can cope well with all the graphics and sound effects. All of this can be handled pretty easily if you purchase a high-end graphics card and back it up with good enough amount of RAM and HD.

Clean Out Non-Required AppData Files
AppData folder resides in your user folder and is home to application-specific settings. It’s basically a collection of data that the user directly doesn’t interacts with, e.g. application configurations, saved game data etc. Moreover, it contains temporary information which is not at all required once the concerning program is closed down or any specific administrative task like installation is accomplished. It is therefore safe to delete these contents.

- Type “%localappdata%” in the Search/ Run area
- “Local” folder under AppData directory will now be opened on your screen
- Open “Local\Temp”
- Select all and then delete the entire folder contents
Note: Files cannot be deleted while they are in use. Make sure you close every application that is in use as well as all the system tray icons. To stop background services, type “services.msc” in the Search/ Run option, right-click a Non-Microsoft service you want to terminate and finally choose the Stop option.
