Cleaner

Using your computer on a daily basis, even for small tasks can get it clogged, thus considerably reducing performance. Taking matters into your own hands can not only be a lengthy process, but it’s a bit difficult to trace online and offline leftovers or junk by yourself. Luckily, developers came out with applications like Cleaner to take care of this for you.

Before you go off trying the application’s set of features, it’s best to make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your computer, although modern Windows iterations come with it as a default feature. On the visual side of things, the interface looks decent, with options to change general menu, and submenu colors.

The application targets multiple areas of your computer, which can easily be accessed from the upper toolbar. As such, you get to work with general system utilities, file cleaner, registry items, the clipboard, and view statistics. What’s more, each component is fitted with several dedicated options, so you don’t risk removing important files by accident.

The general system utilities give you the possibility to launch the clean manager, system restore, the defragment utility, Internet settings, system configurations, and whether or not to flush network DNS.

With the file cleaner, there’s the possibility to select cookies, history, temporary files, recent documents, Flash ActiveX components, and Recycle Bin to quickly clear them out. However, you don’t get to pick exactly what gets removed.

The registry cleaner might require a little more attention on your behalf, or you risk messing up system stability. Again, a simple selection is enough to delete Internet saved URLs, streamed items, recent documents, or typed locations.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Cleaner comes with good intentions, but might not be suitable for everyone’s needs. The visual design is slightly customizable, and cleaner components let you select the exact areas to target, but with no options to pick specific content items, leaving a bit more to be desired overall.
