Running windows 11, google browser, and have tremendous amounts of internet and windows junk files. Also my memory is constantly low. Looking for an answer without having to run utilities several times a day. Also receiving tremendous amount of span and plishing emails. Thanks
Low memory comes from running multiple programs at the same time. Windows uses it's virtual memory to swap out active programs to the swap file on your hard drive. How much memory is installed in your system?
I personally find that my browser can use up a lot of memory when I have 16+ browser tabs open at once. Other apps can be memory hungry. Look at your Task Manager to see what apps are using the most memory.
as for the temp or junk files
those tend to be somewhat normal, if you download a program it has temp files in it generally
sometimes that will apply to a program update
type .tmp in your file folder and will see a long list perhaps
just how windows tends to work, every 30 days i think it is it will delete whats not needed ( not all things unneeded)
you can run the windows clean up tool ( search clean up windows key to get there)
leave most unchecked to delete at the bottom there is temp files and cache can delete those
running low on memory would be a concern it would suggest you have many many programs or files added ( programs, games, music etc..)
that would be something to look into also
as for the spam and phishing emails that wouldnt be a result from norton ( or any other anti-virus, security suite)
