How to delete temp files on your computer
A helpful Computer Pro Network video that walks through deleting temporary files on a Windows computer to free disk space and reduce clutter.
What you will learn
In this video, Computer Pro Network explains how temporary files build up on a Windows computer over time from updates, browsers, installers, and everyday use. These files are not always harmful, but they can take up storage and sometimes contribute to a computer feeling slow or running out of space.
The video covers a practical approach to finding and removing safe temporary files without deleting important documents or program files. This can be a useful first step before calling a technician, especially when a PC has been in use for a long time or has not been cleaned up recently.
Wi-Fi Password Help
A helpful video from Computer Pro Network related to Wi-Fi password help and basic network access.
- Finding or understanding Wi-Fi password information
- Helping customers with wireless access
- Basic home or business Wi-Fi support
- When to call a local technician
Video summary
In this video, Computer Pro Network explains how to find or manage a Wi-Fi password on a Windows computer or home network setup. This can help home users and small businesses when connecting a new device, printer, phone, or workstation to the wireless network.
Wi-Fi password problems are one of the most common reasons customers call us. A password may be saved on one device but needed on another, or a router label may be hard to read after years in a closet. The video explains basic steps customers can try before scheduling a visit.
If the network name changed, the router was replaced, or several devices stopped connecting at once, onsite help is often faster because the technician can test signal, router settings, and printer or workstation setup in the same visit.
Take Ownership
A helpful Computer Pro Network video related to taking ownership of files, folders, or Windows permissions.
- Windows permissions
- Access issues
- File and folder ownership
- When permission problems require technical support
Video summary
In this video, Computer Pro Network explains how Windows file and folder permissions work and why a user may see messages saying access is denied even on their own computer. This often happens after a Windows upgrade, a user account change, files copied from an old drive, or software installed with different permission levels.
The video walks through the general idea of taking ownership in Windows so the correct user account can access needed files. This is a common issue for home offices and small businesses when staff change, computers are reassigned, or shared folders stop working the way they did before.
If permission problems affect many folders, shared drives, or business data, it is worth calling a technician so nothing important is changed incorrectly. We can review the setup onsite and make sure files stay protected while access is restored.
RAM Cleaning
A helpful Computer Pro Network video for customers who want simple computer repair and troubleshooting guidance related to memory modules and basic desktop care.
Video summary
In this video, Computer Pro Network discusses RAM-related maintenance and basic cleaning steps that can help with certain desktop performance or connection issues. RAM modules must be seated properly and kept free of dust buildup inside a desktop case, especially in older systems or computers stored in dusty environments.
This video is intended as general guidance. Not every slow computer problem is caused by memory, and opening a desktop case is not the right first step for every customer. If a PC is crashing, freezing, or failing to boot, a technician can test memory safely and recommend repair or replacement when needed.
For Fort Worth and DFW customers who prefer not to work inside the computer themselves, our mobile technicians can come onsite, inspect the system, and handle hardware checks as part of a broader troubleshooting visit.
