I've used the Windows cleanup and the free AVG one. Task manager says my disk use is usually 100% but I don't know what that means. The other things on the Task Manager I can get down to about 65%. Any recommendations for things I can do on my own to help this problem? Thanks
Far from a computer expert. My computer also a dell. Mine is ten years old.
Some said buy a new one and have the data transferred. The tech that I trust told me it needs a new hard drive. I read the life of a hard drive s 2-10years.

Again I not a computer expert. I had the hardrive replaced and my computer is as fast, if not faster than it ever was.
