You should be using the Scan Disk Utility and the Defragment Utility on a regular basis – otherwise your machine may start to get slower over time – and you may experience other problems & errors. Do you have critical information & files on your PC that you can’t afford to lose? Then you should be doing regular BACKUPS as well. At a minimum, periodically store off a copy of your critical/important files.
