Answer 1

Disk Cleanup cleans out all the temporary Internet files. Offline web pages and so forth.

For example when you visit a website, it saves them in the temporary Internet files. Always a good idea to clean it up, you can see how much space its taking up.

No it won't take away photos you have downloaded. Make sure you check the appropriate boxes. Before you begin.

Before it runs it will give you a checklist of what it is planning to remove and how much space that would save.
