No in fact it could have exactly the opposite effect it could ware out the disk. There is no need to format a disk unless you have to replace the OS. you however can defragment the HD which will increase the disks efficiency, your programs will load faster and you will have the maxi um space.
You can also defragement your Memory and make that more efficient but you will need a special program to do this.

Formatting is not greater stable on a no longer hassle-free force then is universal use. you're only eliminating and rebuilding the memory map. If on the different hand you're using a "scrubber" that writes X's and O'x around the excellent no longer hassle-free force many cases over, then which would be a sprint no longer hassle-free on the force. yet you may might desire to try this act many many cases to do any harm. continuously keep in mind that a no longer hassle-free force is a mechanical gadget it truly is spinning very quickly. The greater that's used the greater it wares on it truly is bearings.

Thats a tossup question. If you arent doing it frequently (maybe once a year) no. If you do it every other week, it may....of course if you know what you are doing on a PC, there should be no reason to! If you are having to, you had better look into what you are doing wrong.
