Overall this GAOTD does its job (delete unnecessary files) without any hassle: it can find and delete even the .bak files (temporary data) extension, .log files or files that were renamed to .old for security reasons. And it's also highly customizable.

So THUMBS UP from me!!

Does this mean I would spend 20 bucks for a sw like this??

Certainly NOT, of course...otherwise why on earth do I sign myself as King of Freebies?? LOL!

BETTER FREEWARE ALTERNATIVES:

* DiskMax
Pretty unknown but terrific FREE cleanup app in my view, which makes your PC like brand new again in a few seconds time: simply amazing dudes!!

It sports 4 scanning profiles:

- “Quick” mode, to empty the Recycle Bin, remove all related temporary data, browsing information, history and browser cookies in a blink of an eye
- “Standard” mode, the same as above plus removes user accounts data, as well as leftover files from old Windows updates, orphaned Windows installer files, windows logs, multimedia and instant messaging caches etc….
- “Detailed” mode, the same as above plus web browser form data and database optimization, user assist, Windows event logs, deep PC scan, prefetch optimization and more.
- “Complete” mode, the same as above plus Hard Disk defragmentation.

Last time I’ve used it it found over 4 GB of junk missed by other more popular registry cleaners, like the overrated CCLeaner for instance!!

* (Portable) Xleaner
Great lightweight and simple-to-use FREE app designed to clear Internet and Windows garbage from your hard disk. It can also take care of your web browsers history, cookies, browser cache, offline websites and downloaded program files, Microsoft Office components etc... And it's highly customizable as well since it allows you to get the latest plugins and apps, as well as create a custom list of files, folders and registry keys to cleanup, along with the ability to clean the registry and memory after purging, check volume disks etc...

SERIOUS problems with this immature software:

-- you cannot browse to inspect which drive you are about to "clean", you must open your own Windows Explorer to find the drive and confirm it's contents are what you want to clean, then return to this software to select a drive

-- you cannot select a directory, but must select a whole drive (workaround: learn the DOS SUBST command, such as, to clean your C:\Backup directory, type [ SUBST X: C:\Backup ][Enter] into a DOS window, then clean the "X:" drive)

-- it does not show you the entire path and filename, nor the size, of the files it's about to delete, nor does it allow you to inspect any file to confirm it's contents, so you can neither see it inside the program, nor find it outside the program, to inspect it and confirm before deletion

-- it does not show you what it is about to do, and it remembers your last selected options, so open it again and start, and it will start to inspect your prior selection, even if you canceled the prior selection because you decided it was in error and you don't really want to repeat the prior error again!

-- you cannot highlight and select or unselect a group of files in the results list, instead, you must point to and select or unselect one frickin' file at a time (hence I call this software immature because it does not recognize standard controls like [ Ctrl ][ A ], [ Shift ][ Click ], [ Ctrl ][ Click ],and so on).

-- the screen cannot be resized from tiny 638 x 483 Pixels, so there's hardly any space to inspect their results list anyway, another reason to consider this program immature -- we all have HUGE screens, let us use them.

I care about fellow members here, that is why I comment, please contact me directly if you want to dialog about other things, and the programmers can arrange to get additional valuable beta-test feedback from me as Peter Norton, Steve Gibson, PC Tools, Lotus Software, and other programmers have done in the past.

What's so special about Hard Drive Washer?
disk cleanup - build in to windows itself does the same thing.

"Cleanup!" has been around since Microsoft included it as a freebee on their Windows '98 OS disk. It's been much improved since then, and it's still free.
