I never was able to do this until I found these programs which mostly just deletes log files and temp files and internet history etc.
So, I assumed thatfreebsdFreeBSD needs the same kind of programs to keep the computer running smooth.

I've had servers running for multiple years without having to go manually deleting log files, just letting the log rotation do its thing.
Just because Windows slows down and acts randomly at the drop of a hat, it doesn't mean proper operating systems do.
