On Applications, you can clear temporary data for other browsers as well as apps like Steam, VLC, and TeamViewer.Ĭheck everything you're interested in cleaning and hit Analyze to see how much space your action will save. This section is simple: you don't need to use Registry cleaners. While orphaned entries and other minor problems do occur in the Registry over time, there is no good evidence that cleaning the Registry will speed up your computer.
In fact, if a Registry cleaner is too zealous, it can actually cause more problems than it solves. While most people regard CCleaner's Registry cleaner as better than other random ones online, you still don't need to use it.
Microsoft's official statement on Registry cleaners recommends staying away from them don't even bother with this feature of CCleaner.Īside from the privacy and security issues, most of what we said about CCleaner in 2018 (in the article mentioned earlier) still stands. The only all-new feature, Health Check, is just a more convenient way to clean up data you can select manually in Custom Clean. To be fair, there is some use to CCleaner. For instance, if you use multiple browsers, it's convenient to remove temporary files from all of them at once. And the Drive Wiper and Software Updater (if you pay for Pro) are useful. However, you can access a lot of CCleaner's features in other utilities and software. Many of these are free and often do a better job than CCleaner.įor example, Windows's Disk Cleanup handles a lot of what CCleaner's cleaning tools do. TreeSize is a much better disk analyzer and Patch My PC is better at updating software. And some CCleaner tools, like Uninstall and Startup, just duplicate Windows functionality and are thus of little use.
