SlimCleaner

So I have been researching a few other junk file cleaning utilities since CCleaner seems to break my icons on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 and I came across SlimCleaner.

I like it very much.

It has successfully cleaned my temp files, and C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download files which basically are the temp downloaded Windows updates that are no longer needed after they are installed.

Additionally, it offers a few other tools that are actually worth while; like a startup file system checker that has info on every startup file on your computer with ratings from other users of the community telling you what they are and if they are needed or not.

It also has a registry cleaner built in but I cannot comment whether or not it is safe or not to use at this stage.

I just discovered called Proxy that is a Microsoft service that sends usage reports about your computer using habits.

I dont know how come it is not so popular on the next but it has passed all the tests that I've thrown at it.

Other utilities I have tried and have failed are:

Wise Disk Cleaner:

1- Fails to clean the temp files of my Windows user account properly, some of the temp files are left there untouched.

2- Everytime I clean with Wise Disk Cleaner, my browser downloaded programs such as a game I play on MSN Spades called Spades gets deleted and I have to re-download/re-install it upon visiting the site as if it was the first time I am launching my browser

R-Cleaner:

1- Fails to clean the temp files of my Windows user account properly, some of the temp files are left there untouched.

2- Does not clean the temp downloaded Windows update located in: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

Might want to show some courtesy to MG and point folks to the download of this program.

By the way, MG has a warning about this program:

This program is advertising supported and may offer to install third party programs that are not required for the program to run. These may include a toolbar, changing your homepage, default search engine or other third party programs. Please watch the installation carefully to opt out.

Other than that,a fairly decent review; however try installing several different cleaners (there's got to be at least 75 of them out there), run them all and see if they come close to all finding the same things. You know, like registry cleaners do. :-D

 

it didn't install or try to install any toobars bro

 

Have you tried Advance system care i have been using them since beta.

Kinda look a like copy of ASC too me.

And they have a log in and out thing yeez sounds like too much of a pain.

 

System Ninja is also an MG Pick on the Drive Cleaners page.

I would avoid the Registry Cleaner. Only CCleaner is regarded as safe.

 

Considering my gender, the correct reply would be "it didn't try to install any toolbars, sis".

More power to ya
