    Does anyone know how to delete specific files with clean space? Also, how do you use the anonymous web browser? Thanks.

    :wave Welcome to Major Geeks :major
    If you're referring to the program CleanSpace (link: http://majorgeeks.com/Clean_Space_d774.html), I personally don't use it, and don't recommend using it as there are many other programs that are free that do a better job than Clean Space. Judging from the dismally low rating here at Major Geeks (1.19 stars out of 5 with over 380 votes tells me a lot about this program) I'd say it's really not worth paying for. For similar programs that are free and have MUCH better ratings, take a look at these:
    CCleaner http://majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_No_Toolbar_d4191.html (a perennial favorite here at Major Geeks)
    Clean Up! http://majorgeeks.com/CleanUp_d4895.html (a personal favorite)
    Glary Utilities http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5870 (integrates into the right-click menu allowing you to securely wipe any file or folder; tons of features)
    nCleaner http://majorgeeks.com/nCleaner_d5476.html (another personal favorite; adds a shredding option to files in the Recycle Bin)

    Both nCleaner and Glary Utilities have options for wiping/shredding chosen files and folders. nCleaner also allow you to wipe/shred the files in the Recycle Bin with a right-click. Another feature I like in nCleaner is its free space shredder. It scans the hard drive(s) in the PC and securely shreds all the free space so any data that may have been lingering in space marked as 'free' is completely destroyed beyond all forms of recovery. I recently ran it on both my hard drives; I ran it overnight as the hard drives were both about half full (a 250gb and a 320gb) so there was a lot of space to be securely shredded. nCleaner also has a system tweaker, task scheduling for drive cleaning/file shredding, a startup manager and more... Glary Utilities has many great options- file encryption, IE helper, all kinds of system maintenance tools, startup manager, file undelete, memory optimizer, registry defrag, shortcut fixer, uninstaller, and much more... CCleaner also has a registry cleaner, an uninstaller, and startup manager in addition to its excellent (and configurable) drive cleaning features... Clean Up! is a basic drive cleaner but is VERY thorough (which can be user adjusted also) and removes many temp/junk files that other cleaners leave behind.
    Anyway.... I hope these suggestions help!

    As to your question about the "anonymous web browser"... I don't know what program you're referring to. Maybe you could provide a link or something?
