You can do system restores, and it will wipe everything but the OS
Just type "System Restore" in the windows search and follow the directions.

Its going to be really really hard to clean it completely. Lots of manual removals ahead of you. Just go and buy a new OS lol

Like I said, do a system restore. Search for it in the windows search bar

Defrag basically takes all the files of programs that are stored in separate places and places them together to speed up locating times. You should run it every three weeks in my opinion
