Synopsis: DriveCleanup removes all currently non present "Storage Volumes", "Disk", "CDROM", "Floppy" USB drives and their USB devices from the device tree. Furthermore it removes orphaned registry items related to these device types. Both are not removed by similar programs on the site and take up space on the registry, eventually slow down a computer over time.

To preview program actions, start with argument -T (test mode).

[Anonymous] John GermannHow is this "started with parameter -T" [2009-12-12 02:35]

[Anonymous] Wibbley@John Germann: There is a readme file contained therein - this contains all the relevant instructions. If you are unable to comprehend them then I would advise giving this tool a miss. [2009-12-14 11:07]

[User] guinnessDrag the file into the 'Run' box (WinKey + R) then after the long string which is the file location type " -T" but without the quotes. Make sure you include the SPACE before "-" [2009-12-22 18:37]

[User] webforkWorked great on a 6 month old system, cleaning up 33 registry keys that were doing absolutely nothing for me. [2010-05-28 22:34]

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.
