Program to clean out computer?

dsella · 04-13-2008, 09:18 PM

Is there any program that cleans out your computer and deletes unnecessary files, or files that are just taking up space? Because I have 52.1gb free, but there can't possibly be that much taken up out of a 160gb hard drive. I would say I should have around 80gb. Thanks ahead of time!

CCleaner will remove many unwanted files and help you clean out junk from your harddrive.

CCleaner will do the job well!! Use tuneup utilities or disk cleanup to delete old restore points!!

In my opinion CCleaner is one of the best programs for cleaning your computer.

ATF Cleaner is another one that will get rid of useless temporary files, I also suggest you take a look through your Add or Remove Programs list and remove any programs that you no longer use, as they can take up quite a bit of space.

When I ran CCleaner for the first time on my old computer it removed about 4GB of junk lol.

CCleaner does work extremely well for a free utility.
