TheWindows Storecoming to Windows 8 is probably the biggest change that the operating system brings, second only to the touchscreen interface. But the apps you download also come with hidden data junk.AVG‘c PC TuneUp can take care of that thanks to its latest update
In a recent blog post,AVGhas announced that the latest update to theAVGPC TuneUp 2014 software includes a brand new cleaning mechanism that is meant for theWindows Storeand Windows 8, Windows 8.1 apps. There is a good amount ofhidden data junk in Windows 8and Windows 8.1 apps andAVG‘s PC TuneUp software wants to take care of that.
When browsing the newWindows Storeor downloading and using apps, data junk gets collected which in many cases just stays on your machine. This temporary data includes log files, images, cookies, history lists, and metadata files which are kept inside a hidden folder in Windows 8 and 8.1. As with any browser, theWindows Storeapp and your Windows 8 apps need to be cleaned up on a regular basis.
By cleaning theWindows Storeand Windows 8 apps, you will save disk space. If you’re like me, then you probably have dozens of Windows 8 apps installed and don’t think that it doesn’t affect your device’s functionality. Also, by cleaning out theStoreand Windows 8.1 apps you can solve certain issues when launching or using theWindows Storeand its apps.

We tend to blame Microsoft for these issue and invoke compatibility problems, but many times the temporary data from Windows 8 apps can be put to blame. You can buy theAVGPC TuneUP for $30 or choose a free trial period to see how it works out for you.
How to clean your PC from leftovers for good
Sometimes a simple clean wouldn’t fix some slowdowns created by junk files. In this case, we strongly recommend taking into consideration cleaning your PC components separately. This ‘extra layer’ of cleaning will restore your computer’s functionalities to 100%.
Before every step, try to start cleaning with AVG PC TuneUp. If you are curious, you can try to start a tune-up session after completing one of these steps in order to see what changed. Let us know in the comments if this update helped you.
