Free and available in 35 languages suggested, Crap Cleaner, also called CCleaner, is a powerful tool for cleaning. It eliminates the elements which it regards as not being more necessary and proving to encumber your disk space unnecessarily.
Actually,CCleaner is one of the best freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! Once you have installed CCleaner you can open the application by:
Double-clicking the desktop icon
Clicking on Start -> Programs -> CCleaner
Right-clicking on the Recycle Bin and selecting "Open CCleaner..."
There is also a "Run CCleaner" option on the Recycle Bin menu, which will clean your system without any prompts. But we recommend you don't do this until you have familiarised yourself with the program and it's options.
CCleaner has four main sections which can be selected using the 4 icons in the left-hand navigation panel.
(The Cleaner section is selected by default.)
,Cleaner -
This is the main feature of the program, which will allow you to optimize your system, by removing unused and temporary files. It also protects your personal privacy by removing traces of the websites you have visited and the files you have opened.
(It's important to point out that it does this without removing any files you'll still need!)
,Issues -
This is a more advanced feature which analyses your computers registry (where windows system settings are stored) and fixes any problems and inconsistencies that exist.
It also checks for old shortcuts in your start menu and on your desktop.
,Tools -
This section allows you manage installed programs and applications that run when you turn on your computer.
,Options -
The Options section handles a wide array of preferences for how CCleaner runs. (screenshot-3)The Cleaner Settings are the list of checkboxes next to the navigation buttons and are present when you are in the Cleaner mode.
By checking and unchecking options you can choose to include or exclude items from the cleaning process. For example, if you uncheck the Cookies option then no Internet Explorer cookies will be removed. (You also have the choice to keep specific cookies in the Options section.)
You will notice a second tab at the top labelled Applications. This displays a list of additional cleaning options for third-party applications you have installed. This list will change automatically to include new programs.
To actually run the cleaner and remove the files, it's a simple case of just clicking the Run Cleaner button.
If you'd like to see what is going to be removed first (before deleting the files) then click on the Analyze button.
The output window above the buttons will display a log of the analysis or cleaning process.
