Sweeper

Sweeper is a free and open-source system cleaner made by the KDE folks. Unlike many other system cleaners that just aim to free up as much space as possible, Sweeper is all about keeping your privacy safe.

How Does Sweeper Protect Your Privacy?

So, how does it work? Well, it removes almost all the unwanted traces you leave behind while using your computer. Pretty neat, right?

Two Main Cleaning Sections

The app has two main sections that are super easy to understand: General and Web Browsing.

General Cleaning Features

In the General section, you can:

• Clear clipboard contents (thanks to Klipper)


• Remove recent documents


• Erase run command history


• Delete recently used apps from the KDE menu


• Get rid of cached thumbnails

Web Browsing Cleanup

The Web Browsing section is just as useful! Here’s what you can clear out:

• Stored cookies from websites


• Favicons cached from sites you've visited


• Your basic web history


• The temporary cache of websites you've been to


• Your form completion entries and cookie policies from all visited sites

A Simple Yet Effective Tool

Sweeper does a decent job since it's a KDE product. But let's be real—it’s not the fanciest cleaning tool out there. It mainly focuses on clearing traces from your OS and doesn’t offer much in terms of optimizations like some newer apps do.

User Interface Thoughts

The user interface? Well, it looks a bit outdated. A system cleaner doesn’t need to be flashy, but it could use a little sprucing up.

Your Best Bet for Basic Cleaning Tasks!

If you're looking for something straightforward that efficiently removes cookies and clears caches, then Sweeper is definitely worth checking out!. It's lightweight, easy to use, and gets the job done without any hassle.
