Can't live without this app. I don't know how many problems I've fixed, with others' computers as well as my own, just by running CCleaner once.

WinApp2.com has just push the 1000 programs mark for cleaning additional applications that CCleaner doesn't.

I concur with SammeyDW that Restoration (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=285) is far better.

Program crashes when scanning an external HDD.

shahdan on 2009-02-14 08:27

I prefer to use Recuva. But, It can't find the files which is deleted using Shift+Delete key. I wonder if there is any freeware can recover that files...

Ditto,I lost my regedit favorites and my address book,be careful with this app and make a restore point first!

shodan816 on 2012-11-13 18:44

This utility really does a great job, and removes many useless files and registry entries in the process. It is missing one key element, however (in my opinion) and that is to allow the user to preview the scan results before committing and executing. Yes, you can set it to create a backup point, but that does not replace the ability for experienced users to see what is about to be cleaned prior to execution. One more small issue is there is no way to set 'Close' to mean exactly that. Close now pops the app to the taskbar, and that is not what I expect 'Close' to do. Give the user the option of having the app truly close.

Buggy - supposedly you can set a filter, but when you click 'set filter' nothing happens.
Also bad interface, you have to select files individually, you can't drag select, or select all in a folder.

portafreeuser on 2011-11-17 23:58

I had some good luck with this program recovering a file that Recuva could not recover. So I think it's good to use both programs.
