Software Description:
CleanMyPC is a new cleaning and maintenanceutility for Windows from a software developer MacPaw Inc., whichhas already made a strike with its product CleanMyMac.
CleanMyPC includes a suite ofcleaning tools for Windows computers. The main cleaning componentpromises to remove gigabytes of files from a PC, and is backed upby five
maintenance tools: Secure Erase, Complete Uninstall,Registry Maintenance, Autorun and
Gadgets & Extensions Manager.
Here are some keyfeatures of”CleanMyPC”:
Scanning
– During a scan CleanMyPC analyzes your hard drive to find fileswhich might be safely removed. They are split into four categories- “Caches & Logs”, Help Files”, “Extra
Languages” and “Trash & Junk”. Let?s walk through them to explainwhat exactly is found.
Caches & Logs
– While Windows and applications run on your computer they usuallystore chunks of “prepared” data on the hard drive to expedite load.Those chunks are called “Cache files”. However, sometimes theseapplications do not remove the files and while some apps come withbuilt-in “cache control mechanisms”, the majority of those(including the Windows itself) leave a significant amount of datasitting unneeded on your hard drive.
CleanMyPC can identify those files and let you know which of themare safe to delete.
Log files record the activity of Windows and applications and areusually used for informational purposes. Removing them will notaffect the functionality of your applications but might recover youhard drive space.
Help Files
– Most applications (as well as Windows itself) come with helpfiles which contain information about program functionality andworkflow. You can safely remove help files for the applicationsthat you already use freely. CleanMyPC allows you to selectivelyremove help files by clicking the corresponding “Help Files”section of the sidebar and checking only those you wantremoved.
Extra Languages
– Some applications also come with built-in language translations(for example Spanish, Russian or German). This only influencesinterface translations – you can still type text in any languagewithin the app. Since you only want your application in onelanguage you can safely remove the rest – gaining free space.CleanMyPC will scan your computer and find applications which havemultiple language translations, offering you to remove extras. Ifneeded, you can only check those application translations you wantcleaned.
Trash and Junk
– In this section CleanMyPC scans for various files you can?tusually access on your own
but still can remove. These are:
– “Restore points” (backup files created by Windows. The latestrestore point will not be removed by CleanMyPC to ensure you canalways recover your system).
– “Recycle Bin” folders located on all your hard drives.
– “Crash reports” – files created by applications and Windows whensomething crashes, application quits or a critical erroroccurs.
Additional Utilities
– In addition to cleaning and scanning features CleanMyPC comeswith a set of built-in utilities which are aimed to help you keepyour computer reliable, fast, clean and working like a new one.
Secure Erase
– When you simply remove files to and from Recycle Bin they canstill be brought back by
third party data recovery software. Yet sometimes you need toremove files for good – and this is where CleanMyPC?s “SecureErase” will help you. Files and folders removed with “Secure Erase”cannot be recovered. This is achieved by rewriting files withzeroes (“zero-out”) multiple times before permanently removing themfrom your hard drive.
Complete Uninstall
– Most applications you have on your computer come with a dedicateduninstaller which removes the application you decide to stop usingfrom your system. However, some files
(like application preferences, caches, data etc.) are not usuallydeleted along with the app and clutter your system occupying diskspace and slowing your computer down.
CleanMyPC?s “Complete Uninstall” feature will help you to removeapplications without leaving a trace. To do so you need to followthe on-screen instructions to launch a factory uninstaller andafter it finishes its job CleanMyPC will pick it up and proceedwith removing unneeded leftovers.
Registry Cleanup
– The Windows registry is a database that stores configurationsettings and options for Windows itself and for all installedapplications. Since registry is simultaneously read and written byall the installed applications which can also include malware andspyware programs, it sometimes becomes cluttered or partiallycorrupted. This cannot be fixed
manually (unless you have deep technical knowledge and experience)and we advise to let
CleanMyPC?s registry maintenance utility to take care of yourregistry. To scan yourcomputer?s registry for issues click “NewRegistry Scan” and wait for the scan to finish. CleanMyPC will finderroneous entries and offer you to fix them all at once orselectively.
Autorun
– While launching applications automatically with Windows isconvenient some applications might do that without your knowledgeand you might want to prevent them from automatically running.Removing applications from autorun manually is usually notconvenient and sometimes beyond your control – Windows storesautorun data in several
places and locating a specific application might be tricky.CleanMyPC collects all applications which start with Windows intoone simple interface – simply hover any application and click thecorresponding “Disable” button to prevent it from starting withWindows. You can re-enable it again in the same way.
Gadgets & Extensions Manager
– Windows (and some applications) install different Gadgets andExtensions onto your system. While some applications provide youwith removal options, sometimes you don?t
have such a possibility (which is especially habitual for defaultWindows gadgets and extensions). CleanMyPC lists all the extensionsyou can remove and allows you to remove all at once or only thoseyou want to get rid of. This cannot be undone so please make sureyou don?t remove gadgets or extensions you might need in thefuture.
