Have you run disk cleanup?

My Windows XP Home computer is four years old. It works, but has
become increasingly sluggish.

A quick Google on “slow computer performance” yields a modest 35
million hits, Most are for alleged registry fixes, and I suspect that
at least 34.99 million are virus/Trojan plantings or otherwise
worthless.

So what I'm wondering, after all these years, is there an acknowledged
effective tool for cleanup?

If so, what is it?

And by whom/where has it been tested and its effectiveness verified?
