Watch this: Tidying up your tech

This week on The Fix, we get out our feather dusters and disinfectants, and invest in a few items from the container store, 'cause it's time to go spring cleaning.

First, I'll show you the best ways to free up space on your smartphone. Most of which don't include getting rid of your favorite apps. Well, maybe one does.

Then, watch as Sharon doles out some great tips on keeping your email organized and -- maybe more importantly -- spam-free.

Finally, before you get rid of your old computer, Donald has some tips on archiving important data so that it's always just a few clicks away.

For many more spring-cleaning tips and tricks for your tech, check out our April spring-cleaning special.
