![]() That said, it has been around for many years and has earned a reputation for NOT breaking computers. I also did not feel comfortable with its marketing hype about improving performance. I found it's too aggressive for my taste and did not see any advantage with its other features. I tried Glary years ago but stuck with CCleaner. So, for example, I can tell it to keep Landzdown cookies so after cleaning, I don't have to look up and enter my log-in credentials again. That said, I prefer to clean out the clutter with CCleaner because I can tell CCleaner which cookies to keep. ![]() And it can increase free space which can actually extend the life span of SSDs (which may be important on older and smaller SSDs).īut so can Windows' own Disk Cleanup. It can also improve hard disk defragging times and efficiency, and improve malware scan times. However, using CCleaner's disk cleaner to clean out old cookies, old temporary Internet files and other junk and clutter can keep Windows working optimally. I note there is no evidence Registry cleaners, even CCleaner's, improve performance or increase stability. It will not find 1000s and 1000s of "problems" nor will it find problems then strongly urge me to pay for something to fix them. (1) It always prompts to backup the Registry before cleaning, (2) the restore from backup works, and most importantly (3), it is very conservative. That is, I won't use it on a computer that has been in use for several years and never had the Registry cleaned.Īnd for the record, CCleaner's Registry cleaner is the only Registry cleaner I would ever consider using and that is for 3 reasons. Plus, when I use it, I use it starting when the computer is new. ![]() ![]() While I have used its Registry cleaner 100s (if not 1000s) times without incident over many many years (not once has it ever bricked a computer I used it on), I NEVER use it to fix a broken computer, nor do I use it thinking it will "optimize" my computer or make it run better. I see no reason it cannot be used regularly to "clean" out the disk clutter. ![]() I have been a long time user and fan of CCleaner. ![]()
