TECH TIP TUESDAY!!!

Spring is a great time to declutter your home — but don't forget your devices! Just like a garage full of old junk, your PC, phone, and tablet can slow down when they're packed with things you no longer need. Here's a quick checklist to freshen things up:

On Your Windows PC:
Uninstall unused programs — Remove anything you haven't used in over 6 months.
Clear out your Downloads folder — It's often one of the biggest hidden storage hogs.
Remove old browser extensions — Extra toolbars and add-ons you forgot about can slow your browser and create security risks.

On Your Smartphone (iPhone or Android):
Delete apps you haven't opened in 6+ months — If you can't remember what it does, you don't need it.
Review app permissions — Check which apps have access to your camera, microphone, location, and contacts. Revoke anything that doesn't need it.
Clear cached data — Offloading unused apps frees up space automatically.

A Security Reminder:
Old, unused software is a security risk. Outdated apps that are no longer updated by their developers can have unpatched vulnerabilities — even if you never open them. When in doubt, remove it.

Keep your devices clean and they will thank you by performing well all the time!
