I have a Macbook Pro bought in 2010 and it is running really slow, I called a tech service and they said I have way too much junk on it and unnecessary files but they wanted an insane amount of money to fix it for me. CanI just clean it up myself? And if so how> Help please thanks
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), iOS 8.3

how can i clean it up
Open the Downloads folder. choose View > Show View Options. Click [√] Calculate all Sizes.
Now click on the Size heading once or twice until the largest files are shown first.
Throw away large items that you no longer need, or can download again easily.
