To keep a PC
running smoothly, regular maintenance is critical. Many users shy
away from maintenance tasks, thinking it is a long, drawn out manual
affair, but the Disk Cleanup Utility can easily determine which
files on a hard drive may no longer be needed and delete those
files. In addition to freeing up potentially significant amounts of
hard drive space, using a Disk Cleanup on a regular basis can
significantly improve system performance.
I have always used Microsoft Windows Disk Cleanup and I was interested in seeing if there were any free software that could do a better job. After trawling through the net I was surprised to find how many programs claim to help you get back your PC into original working condition by removing all the clutter. Just as I expected most of the Disk Cleaning utilities were not free. But I did find one cleanup utility that fitted the mark quite nicely called Cleanup (well what else would it be called 
!).
CleanUp is a powerful and easy-to-use application
that removes temporary files created while surfing the web, empties the
Recycle Bin, deletes files from your temporary folders and more. It frees disk space and reduces the "clutter" on your computer helping it
to run more efficiently. It also can be used as a way to protect your
privacy on the Internet. You can even instruct CleanUp
to securely delete files making it impossible to retrieve their
contents using lower-level disk tools - just another way of protecting
your privacy.
You can download the program here.
WARNING!: This program is a really thorough piece of kit because it can even delete your Bookmarks if you have not selected the right options:
