Targets that are currently removed by PureRa are: Config.msi, Thumbs.db, Iconcache.db, .sqm-files, Desktop.ini etc.
Writes settings to: None
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch PureRa.exe.

[Anonymous] MikeThis is a wonderful tool that will free up TONS of disk space. It does create a file called PureRa.txt in your hard disk's root folder, so remember to delete it when you're finished. [2009-01-19 12:46]

[Anonymous] JckMighty fine. Got a quick gig on the first cleaning.
Highly recommended.

[Anonymous] MonkeyWrenchVery cool. Cleaned out 172 MB of crap on first run (with all options selected) and no ill effects on Win2k even though it's for XP and Vista. [2009-01-31 09:04]

[Anonymous] WebforkNice. Cleaned just under 200 megs for me. That other cleaner programs don't offer to kill thumbs.db files seems a bit odd to me.

Glad to have this.

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
