CleanUp

Windows stores logs of activities of almost all operations it performs. Even if they may be only text files that take little disk space, they’re not the only concern if you want to avoid clogging your system. In this regard, CleanUp comes with a set of tools that aims to help you automate the task of cleaning your computer, so you can use it to its full potential.

Before you go ahead and download the application, you need to know that it hasn’t been updated in quite some time, and is only built for 32-bit operating system, with a high chance that it doesn’t run on modern Windows iterations. As such, you might want to look for alternatives if you’ve got a 64-bit Windows edition.

In any case, installing takes a little while, with the possibility to check out the set of features in no time at all. Upon launch, a compact main window shows up, with two separate tabs for general and delete options. The overall design and option descriptions are pretty intuitive, so even inexperienced individuals can easily take advantage of what it has to offer.

CleanUp specializes itself if getting rid of various log files Windows likes to hold on to. Some general options can be configured before putting the process in motion, such as whether or not to show splash screen on startup, have a desktop shortcut created, whether or not to trigger the process when Windows starts, and wipe files completely, task which can take some time to finish.

In case you haven’t enabled the clean on startup option, you need to manually trigger it each time, because there’s no other scheduling option. The areas you can clean are selected by checking corresponding boxes, with options for browser history, cookies, recent lists, temp files, cache, DNS cache, recycle bin, prefetch files, or even a custom list.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that CleanUp is a practical little utility that wants to free some system resources with little effort on your behalf. Although it hasn’t been updated in some time, the set of features is just right and works fine on 32-bit systems.
