Think of it like a cluttered closet - if you've got boxes and bags overflowing with stuff, it's hard to find what you need and everything gets dusty and disorganized. Similarly, Windows has its own version of clutter: temporary files, system leftovers, and other unnecessary bits and pieces that can slow you down. That's where CCleaner comes in.
