What you did was good. It doesn't hurt to get rid of unnecessary junk files. And once they're gone - they are gone. Dunno who told you they weren't. They'll eventually gradually build up again, but it'll take a while. There are lots of things that can make your system slow. Here's one of the best things to check:
Go to Start, Run, and type MSCONFIG. (In Vista just type it into the Run box). Click the Startup tab. See how many items have a check mark next to them. If you've got more than about 8 or 10 you'll want to eliminate as many as possible. Each checked item is using system resources and likely slowing Go to this website and look up each checked item: http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php Just type the name of the item into the search box, and it will tell you what the item does, and if it is needed. Un-check any items that aren't needed and reboot. You'll see a message similar to "you've made changes to configuration...". Just check the box to "not show this message again". Hope that helps.
