CCleaner is good, but garbage finder finds way more files it can safely delete. The version I installed - as a GOTD - also didn't muck around with the registry.

Tried it and don't see how to deselect items also language I set is not the language I am presented with
I installed with Timefreeze on so it will be gone next reboot

why should I change from CCleaner

Very interesting reviews of Kcleaner vs Ccleaner

Software not install my pc.

jv16 PowerTools X Look it up, best one I've used.

How does this compare to CCleaner with CCEnhancer addon and/or System Ninja... All of these free....

Who needs this when we have the ever-so-reliable CCleaner? Another cleaning program would be PrivaZer. These two have been tried and tested. Personally, I love CCleaner. It has always served me well plus they always release updates to either make the program better or to fix bugs, if they exist.

KCleaner is designed totally screw up your pc and they delete licenses!

FWIW, if it helps etc...

Think it would be Very useful if KC Softwares provided more info on their site regarding what files it Cleans. And if it is thorough, removing more than the usual junk from the temp folders, it would be a good thing if it provided some means of [perhaps off-disk] storage & backup, so stuff could be put back if necessary.

The problem is that not everything in Windows (2) standard temp folders can be deleted easily, may not be able to be deleted without consequence, and in my experience, usually those 2 folders don't hold the bulk of the space wasters on a Windows drive. But they're still the 2 safest folders on that Windows drive to empty. You can *probably* get rid of any files with the .dmp extension in the Windows folder, but I've experienced the occasional problem getting rid of stuff named .tmp or bak, & I think files with those extensions, along with anything in the temp folders make up the prime targets for file cleaning apps. [*Usually* files/folders with tmp or bak don't amount to much space, & when they don't, I tend to leave them alone.]

Say what you will about Microsoft & Windows 10, but the universal apps from their store are supposed to behave a bit like Android apps when it comes to install & uninstall -- remove an app & it's gone, period. Whether Microsoft gets most developers to adopt that or not is another matter... in the mean time, until something like that is adopted, software installs and updates are free to roam far & wide on your hard drives & in the registry, in what's too often a lose - lose proposition; leave things alone & they can gobble up space, but if you remove what you think is useless junk, uninstall &/or future updates may not work.

Monitoring thousands of installs [I monitor installs in a VM 1st], anything downloaded during an install or update is very often saved, somewhere. Those & various setup files are often stored in the ProgramData folder, but also may wind up in the Windows\ Installer\ folder, in the Program Files &/or Program Files (x86)\ Common Files\ folders, in the Users folders, in the software's program folder(s), &/or in new folders. It's safest to leave that stuff alone, though IMHO, & particularly on a 240GB SSD or smaller, it can get impractical to do so when you're talking accumulations that can too often be over 10GB.

Several of the User folders can be relocated to another drive, & that can help -- right click a folder like My Pictures, select properties, & look for a Location tab. Myself, I'll record what app a huge msi file for example belongs to, & its location, & then I'll move it off the Windows drive -- if later an uninstall won't work I'll look in the folder where I keep those files & put the one I need back. It's a hassle, but not worth the $100 it'd cost me today to buy a 500GB SSD, because I don't uninstall those larger apps very often. And those setup related files are most always the biggest space wasters I come across.

That said, I do empty the temp folders regularly, but I normally do it manually -- files & folders in Windows 2 main temp folders are often protected -- you can't delete them until you give at the least admin permission, but you might have to do stuff like take ownership, add yourself & then give yourself full control. DO be careful though because some apps do store stuff in the temp folders that is not temporary, but relied on for that app to work properly. Some software, e.g. Adobe's CC Cloud app(s) can change the ownership & permissions for the entire user temp folder, & may do so on a regular basis. Alas, I've found that using Windows Disk Cleanup may not remove all temporary files from the temp folders.

I do use Disk Cleanup for 3 things... After upgrading Windows 10 builds, it gets rid of the leftovers & the old version of Windows that's saved. The Windows\ SoftwareDistribution\ folder can accumulate several GB, much of that can be leftovers from Windows Update, & Disk Cleanup can sometimes get rid of a lot of it. Even after deleting the temp files, cache etc. using Internet Explorer's Internet Options, Disk Cleanup can often still find stuff to delete when it clears the browser cache.

Download and installation very quick and easy, but couldn't see anywhere to enter the reg. code given in the read me file. After installing you are met with a very simplistic and uncluttered GUI which personally I think looked a bit outdated. You are presented with a list of files to check, and when done the program does it's stuff very quickly. It actually misses quite a lot of junk files, I scanned my drives with Kerish Doctor 48 junk files) & CCleaner (50 junk files) both of which detected more than KCleaner did and that was in expert mode with three passes ... Why should you have to do more than one pass, one should be enough if the software is doing its job properly. Didn't like the GUI, no information on what has actually been detected/removed so no way of telling if it does a good enough job without doing any sort of comparison with other similar programs first. Uninstalled, I'll stick to what I have and trust. As already stated by some of the others here, you shouldn't mess about with registry files unless you really know what you are doing. Windows does a fairly decent job of cleaning out the clutter as well.

I have been using kcleaner for the past years. I am satisfied with it. All you have to do is switch to expert mood. It finds more trash than the rest. To my knowledge only PrivaZer does same job as kcleaner.

Hi Kyle (and all)! :-)

First of all, thanks for your work and the programs you are giving away!

I wrote the same things in the idea.informer, but I'm not sure it works (I can't see the preview, like I can see it here)... Or when a moderator will post the comment there.
Hence I'll re-post them here.

Some suggestions:
0) Write the list of supported OS in your software webpages
1) Options: I don't like the language menu.
I suggest you to use a drop-down menu.
If you still want to show the flags, use a little icon instead of those BIG icons.
2) Options: I'd use the style, you used for the languages, for the file types.
You could add new items in the future, can't you?
3) Give your users the possibility to insert new folders to be deleted completely
4) Give your users the possibility to export the log of found items
5) Give your users the possibility to have a log file created automatically after they used the program (in the log folder of your program), or after the automatic mode did for them
6) Give your users the possibility to first move the files in the recycle bin

"......tracking every useless byte.....", that is what is claimed by this developer, however that is impossible and untrue, win operating systems do not address sectors by single byte, most start at clusters of 512 bytes per sectors and up until 10k clusters. And how do you track sectors when half is full or there is only one byte used out of it, another impossibility.
If you track every byte you will need as much space to write those address bytes and a parallel addressing system that will consume one have of your HD memory.

I've been using KCleaner 2.5 for a year or two and it does find files that CCleaner does not, and it has not caused me any problems. I'm puzzled by the many negative remarks by people who have not tried the product.

Isn't there a way for a company like GAOTD to block individuals from the comment section? To post one offensive comment is understandable but why do they continue to let one disrupt the whole process.

Windows 10 comes with a disc cleaner. It is easy to use, you can select which files to delete., and it does a good job.

Downloaded and installed on Windows 10 with no issues. Running the program is simple. However, if you are NOT familiar with the operating systems I would definitely not suggest just downloading and running this program. I took note of many, MANY, system files that would be deleted when they should not be. Essentially crashing your operating system and forcing you to do a complete re-install. This program is not for the casual user.

I use CCleaner on a regular basis.

This program will be removed.
Thanks, but no thanks.

Well I can see there are many opinions here about this software. And that is just what they are opinions some based in fact, some out of fear.

Being a computer technician, I learned the hard way as we all did no doubt. But I have found, that is your not familiar with any kind of software, especially cleaners and the like and your not absolutely sure what it exactly does or it gives you no warning or offers a backup, then it probably is a good one to stay away from.

All too many times I have used these so called cleaners that insist they are the best and do the most (yes they do the most alright) only to find out I had to reinstall my OS. Is it worth that chance? Sure if you wish to go all through the mess a software has created especially those that delete out of the registry system or the system files and give you no really clear understandable reason why.

I use these three cleaners and have had no problem with them so far that is, CCLeaner, Wise Cleaner and Jet Clean. I have had problems with Glary Utilities, Privazer made a mess of things and this one that deleted things it should not have with no way to undo it, not at that time that is. I certainly will not install this again to find that out either!

A cleaner is one things, a destroyer is another, never mess with the registry and I do not care how great they make it sound, especially if your not sure how it will affect your computer. This has been told a 1000 times already and will no doubt be told another 1000 times and people just do not listen. Not all computers are the same and we never know how any individual computer will react with some softwares, just be careful...

If your not totally sure of what any cleaner is doing, and they do not tell you exactly what they are doing and they do not offer a way to exempt a directory or file from cleaning, that is a good one to stay away from.

This is just my opinion, nothing more, the thing is, use wisdom rather than find out, you have to reinstall your OS again...

How big are the risk to destroy windows or any program of use this software, I installed it and run Clean, and I expect it shall serch first and show a list of what it shall remove, but it cleanned straight away and not let me choice what I want to remove or not? As good was that I had been in settings and unchecked the one I not want to check as windows files and some other program files as it had remove....?

At the same time i have tried various so called "cleaners". Each one says they do a thorough job. Why should this one be any better? Even after using CCleaner, Glary Utilities finds other remnants Cleaner left behind. False positives or not, its just another cash cow for unsuspecting PC users.

This tool is, as any other of its kind, to be treated with caution. This is also almost everything with board funds. Create shortcut on the desktop and paste it into the empty box: C:\Windows\System32 \Cmd.exe /c cleanmgr/sageset:65535 & cleanmgr /sagerun:65535 (google-translation!) Rename the file in professional Cleaner (example) Greetings from Germany - Michael

Windows 10 not supported it seems :(

I believe we were offered Kerish Doctor (awhile back) that MANY FOLKS highly recommended that one as "good". And, from my own experience--it's proved worthwhile. Does...cleaning and more nice functions. No problems there: while I haven't forsaken CCleaner, either. God bless!

I have used C-cleaner since '98; Glary Utilities Pro for over 5 years; and Wise Care 365 pro for about two years. The free version of Wise Care 365 does not remove any privacy risks; but if you run C-Cleaner after the check up with Wise Care; c-cleaner removes those risks. Each has its own capabilities and Wise Care removes the Windows installation files that c-cleaner doesn't. Using all 3, I have had no problems with my Win7 pro. Glary Utilities always finds temp. files that c-cleaner doesn't.

In essence, this is software for the more technically minded because of the potential risks of killing your OS.

For everyday/weekly use I would recommend ccleaner, slimcleaner and cleanmgr (albeit with some research into it's use first).

I had to format and re-install Windows after using this program. It will remove system files if your not careful! Ccleaner is much safer program.

The warning regarding the power of the program is something that should be taken very seriously.
It has two modes, basic and expert and fortunately in expert mode a simulation is offered, this is the one I tried.

In a very short time it was finished its scan and informed me it could remove 1.98 GB (617 files) of junk, it did this very rapidly, too rapidly.

Decided to compare with two programs that I trust Kerish Doctor and BoostSpeed, the former found 42 MB considerably more slowly than today's download, BoostSpeed examined the system very, very slowly taking many minutes and found 40 MB.

It is possible expert mode select which junk will be removed and even though it groups them it is not possible to select a group to delete, for instance cookies or say log files. If it did the selection would be much simpler to sort and select files that are probably safe to remove.

Certainly would not use this program in basic mode without doing a backup of my system partition and to be on the safe side would do the same in expert mode.

Even if this program did not do any harm to your system I wonder if it would lose all your passwords as many programs of this type do.

Programs of this type were in the past more of a hindrance than a help, the two I trust have been much more of a help and never caused the slightest problems.

There is no way I can really test this program as I am unwilling to run it on my system, if you do try backup first.

Just a note to remember after installing.
The installation process will put two icons on your desktop, one for DUMo updates and SUMo updates. I have neither one of these programs, so they got deleted, but more importantly, in OPTIONS ---> SETTINGS you must remember to uncheck UPDATE DETECTION and then click SAVE. If you don't click SAVE, then it will automatically default to check for updates each time you start the program.
I am a little nervous about this one, as "bettersafethansorry" has noted below, but will give it a go. Good luck.

Agreed, CCleaner is much more powerful and a lot more better, plus its FREE forever!!!

I have bad experience with KCleaner. CCleaner is better.

I wasn't exactly sure what this was for, the description was really bad.... I mean, does it search the HDD and delete data from deleted files or..... what? CCleaner??? like that? Still not sure, if it is, no then no thanks .... for no other reason that the description leads you to believe its much more useful than it really is.

What is wrong with "Removes all unwanted garbage files from your computer!" easy.

A quotation lifted from the developers own website:

"This powerful file cleaner deletes files and may make these files un-recoverable. Use KCleaner with care, at your own risks !"

You have been warned.

Take as an alternative - CCLEANER!

Really better than this software!
