NOTE: Recent press about CCleaner indicates it may represent a privacy concern.
CCleaner is a feature-rich system optimization and privacy tool. The program cleans unused, temporary and log files from your system, as well as traces of online activities such as Internet history and flash cookies. The program contains startup controls for Windows, major internet browsers and context menu entries. Includes a separate registry cleaner, duplicate search, system restore tool and can wipe both deleted files and drive free space for security.
A 64-bit version is available (within the folder). Monitoring functions are only available in the pro version.
Additional cleaner rules can be using an unofficial set of community-developed set. It should be noted that many of these rules are alpha and the developers will not provide support for these rules, a thread in the users forum is dedicated to supporting the add-on rules.
Alternatively, ccPortable is also available.

PureRa removes files from your computer that other mainstream cleaning programs tend to overlook. Some of the targets can simply be removed to create some valuable space while others are removed in an attempt to repair certain problems because they will simply recreate themselves. Targets that are currently removed by PureRa are: Config.msi, Thumbs.db, Iconcache.db, .sqm-files, Desktop.ini etc.

This is a great little tool, I do agree with Anonymous that some of the cleaning options are usually pointless as they will be recreated by the OS anyway, but it's always nice to have a tool that can do a deeper scrubbing than most other tools. I don't use PureRa often, but when I do, its because I want it done all the way.

@Anon Yes it Cleans files that are not used but Also It Cleans ALL of them off of your system. Some of the files olny are created WHEN the particular folder gets opened.

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

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.

sorry, but it is not really portable, the user.config is stored in AppData in a folder dependend on the location of the exe. This is a typically .NET behavior. If you move your exe, your settings will be lost.

Your folders will be moved to recycle bin, so you dont have to worry. Nice app, but author of this app should really learn to use some kind of config file like shaegar said:D |

To adhere to Vista/7 defaults, Disk Cleaner no longer writes to the application folder by default, but to the users %APPDATA% folder instead. Old behavior (that is, portable) is still supported by running Disk Cleaner with the -p command line switch.
kanu
on 2013-06-12 12:09
That's right, Robert. Using the -p switch the program first tries to find a dcsettings.ini file on the program folder, if it doesn't exist then goes to %APPDATA%\Disk Cleaner — if this doesn't exist neither then it creates that folder and file. That's why the first time used -even with the -p switch- the program creates that undesired location.
