You don't need this to make space. CCleaner by Piriform and the Windows built in Disk Cleaner are enough.
Particularly nowadays big hard disks are so cheap.
I just saw a 10 TB hard disk by Seagate at a retail shop.
It has been stated that the user decides what to delete after this software finds them.
The problem is users are not all-knowing; and often they delete stuff that affects their PC in a bad way.

Installed with ease on Win 10. It seemed good and I thought about keeping it.
I closed it and went about on my computer. Then this program popped up telling me there was more files to delete. Well, I don't need something doing that all the time. I tried to find in the program where I could stop it from loading on startup, but could not. I did't need this that badly, so I uninstalled it. I guess if you had a small drive and really needed to monitor it, this would be great.

Gonna stick with what I have and trust, but thanks for the offer. What I have has worked well thus far, so why mess up a good thing?

I have an unrelated question for the developer(s)... what software do you use to create those professional looking box-shots for your product(s)? I'm a software developer and I'd like to present my products better. Thanks in advance.

Another problem that I found with Smart Disk Cleanup is the fact that it will not let you unselect what it considers unnecessarily system files such as restore points. The checkbox is automatically selected and cannot be unselected.

I dislike programs that put themselves into the startup folder without permission. Smart Disk Cleanup does just that. For whatever reason some developers hide the startup program so it cannot be simply removed from the startup folder(s). Again Smart Disk Cleanup does just that. Regardless of how nefarious a program may or may not be I usually delete said program.
Another program, Kerish Doctor, mentioned in several comments below was removed from my computer for the exact same reason.
If you want to save time trying to locate Smart Disk Cleanup from a startup group do not install it.

Here is the problem with deleting temp files and "junk spaces", they get recreated next time you boot and by the way, many programs need the temp files to function normally.
Emptying the recycle bin will do nothing either, old windows updates and restore points are dangerous things to delete.
Conclusion, get a bigger hard drive and stop monkeying around the edges, this software will not solve the problem of shortage of disk space.

Hi westP. :-)
Windows updates and restore points are not dangerous things to delete, otherwise windows itself shouldn't remove them like it is currently doing.
System restore points are automatically deleted (starting from the older one) when there isn't hard disk space.
Windows updates installers or downloaded files could be removed through the dism tool (if I'm not wrong): windows shouldn't allow this if it is dangerous (instead it allows it).
Installed updates will remain installed, you won't be able to remove them (if you need to).
Conclusion: you'll save some hundreds or thousands of MB.

westP,
To an extent you are correct. Removing restore points can be dangerous unless you create a new one straight after deleting the old one(s). I never just delete files, I always wipe them so that the there is no trace of them in the index and the space they occupied is over written making them impossible to recover and freeing up HD space. There is nothing wrong with removing old update files, I do it every time I clean my drives and have never had any problems. If such files were essential they would be protected from deletion. The only time you will harm your system is if you mess about with system files and not clued up on what you are doing. My advice is ... If its not broken don't fix it as "fixing" can do more harm than good.
I haven't installed this as I don't need another disk cleaner, but it appears that this disk cleaner leaves it for the user to decide what to remove ... Simple advice, if you are unsure of what a file is leave it alone, look on line for more information then decide what to do. Basic common sense.

xilolee, If you delete restore point(s), you have to recreate them again or you dare run a computer without them, furthermore, this software deleted my registries backups also and all of my drivers backup files and when I recreated them again, my net gain was 0 Bytes.
Updates are very small files to account for your
"hundreds or thousands of MB" saved. Not buying your prop.

sammy, we don't need system restore points at all.
That functionality could be easily disabled.
If it is so necessary, we shouldn't be able to delete its created points and to disable the functionality.
The updates are not so small.
Even windows cleanmgr/disk cleanup remove system restore points and updates (and OS pre-service pack, and service packs, and so forth): is it very dangerous too? ;-)

Ccleaner, Glary utilities, Wise Care, and 360 security are already on my system. and are all free, so why do I need this $29.95 program?

Mike OD, and they're also customizable (at least ccleaner and wise care 365)! ;-)

Similar to CCleaner, which has been around, and updated, forever.

Cleaned up my drives before installing the program with a program I trust to do it safely, Kerish Doctor.
As soon as the agreement had been accepted it installed itself on my C drive and created a start-up on opening windows.
No options were offered and no permission asked, not a good start.
Immediately on opening and without any apparent analysis it reckoned I needed to clear up about 500 MB, this included some MSI files which was a bit of a surprise, surely these are often used to uninstall programs if I'm not mistaken.
Always very wary of disk cleanup programmes as so many of them remove passwords, couple this with its apparent lack of analysis I decided to uninstall it.
I'll stick with programs I trust.

Smart PC Cleanup installs itself in the default 32bit program folder,
I have no problem with that.
It does not clean anything when installing and remains in manual mode.
It also gives you mighty fine detailed overview of things that can be removed-that is if you want the program to do so.
But as always deselect the items you're not sure of or those you are anxious to keep anyway.
All in all not a bad program at all.. used with a bit of common sense.

StrayCat,
Quite a large number of people like to keep their C drive as a system drive and their programs on a separate partition.
It takes very little effort on the part of the developer to give the user the option to install in a place of their choice.
There are good reasons from the point of view of maintenance and backup to use the above system.
It takes more than common sense to know what to remove and what to leave, it takes knowledge, and a good cleaning system should not require the latter and be safe use and useful.
Kerish Doctor fulfils these requirements and then some, and so there is not much point in keeping a program that is nowhere near as good

StrayCat, If I have to decide what to do from the given list, this software can not be called "smart".
Looking at the names in the list you have to allow deletion, puts the burden of the task on your shoulders and if something goes wrong, they are off the hook, you made the error not them, but they served you files that might be very important for some software to work and you will not discover that until you start that software later or next day.

westP,
Thanks for clarifying the point I was trying to make, nice to see there is some intelligent life on the site.

StrayCat,
The leaders in the field for this type of software is Auslogics and its search when doing a disk cleanup takes at least 15 min.
Kerish Doctor takes around 5 min, today's does it instantly how can it possibly check the repercussions removing items would cause.
Your comment picks up on only one point I made and is a nonsense and the people who follow it deserve all they get.
However, people like your comment and I'm sick of writing reviews only for silly little twits like yourself picking holes in them.
So I'll stop writing reviews and leave it to you to do in future, if you're up to it.
So bye from Seb, I'll join the many others who can't be bothered with this site any more. :-)

Hi,
The program is smart in a way that it finds things that are usually safe to delete.
Unlike other programs that 'automagically' clean your system at least this one allows you to opt out of some of the checked items.
I don't think there are programs out there that are completely foolproof...not even Kerish Doctor.
So it doesn't hurt to create a system restore point.
:)

Seb, Seb you take things to personally question asked at the bottom of each post is "do you find this comment useful?
Calling people who don't agree with you names is not useful.

StrayCat,
Kerish Doctor It Is Absolutely Safe I Use It Every Day.
the Program Is Smart in a Way That It Finds Things That Are Usually Safe to Delete. .
In Computing Usually Safe Is Not Safe Enough.
Look Forward to Reading Your Reviews.

And unnecessary files can be removed from a huge folder "Installer", "AppData"?
If "Yes", great!

Dimma, and you may getting stuck to uninstall or use other your programs because some application and Windows Installer data is there. Really one of lazy suggestion.
