DriveCleanup v1.6.1
billon on 10 May 2020 Change history
- 99KB (uncompressed)
- Released on 10 May 2020
- Suggested by guinness
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).
A 64-bit version is available (within the folder).

Worked great on a 6 month old system, cleaning up 33 registry keys that were doing absolutely nothing for me.

Drag 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 "-"

@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.
