Can leaving my USB plugged into my computer slow its speed down?
My computer has been running *extremely* slow lately, and even after countless removals of files, it is still running *very* slowly. Then, a thought popped into my mind; I leave my USB, which has *a lot* of information stored on it plugged into my computer 24/7. Would doing that cause my computer to slow down?

Nope, not at all.

Only if you are running an application that needs data from it.
Try downloading CCleaner.
It gets rid of junk and has a registry cleaner that should help.
It’s free, too.
