Perform "Disk Cleanup" from the "C:\" > "Properties" window.
It is also possible to perform a Search from the desktop for "*.jpg" and "*.gif" filetype images.
Beyond this, it kind of depends on what "type" of *** material you think is on the computer which you wish to remove? Movies, software, "spyware" or "malware" with pornographic content... ??
In some cases you may need to perform a full system Restore and reload the entire suite of system Drivers and pre-loaded software that came with the unit. This will remove EVERYTHING in one action, but please be certain to copy off all of the documents YOU created and need to SAVE. Any Microsoft Word documents that are saved in to "My Documents" or anywhere on the hard drive will also be erased when the system Restore happens.
Future note: For Internet browsing and web surfing with the least amount of "system invasiveness" (junk saved to the hard drive), consider using a bootable "Live" version of an Operating System such as Linux. There are very low cost editions of Linux distributed with magazines in many bookstores, and when the system is running one of these it typically does NOT save anything on the hard drive. Just keep in mind that some types of content will not be "playable" (certain movie formats require extra Codecs for playback and these must be downloaded and installed in order to work).
