How to delete cookies
If you notice your Internet browser acting sluggish or your computer performance dropping, it's likely due for a cleanup. Windows 7 includes a Disk Cleanup utility that deletes temporary Internet files, security logs and event logs, as well as offline webpages.

These files, called cookies, slow down your computer if enough of them accumulate. Spyware and malware can also exist as cookies.
