Disk Cleaner - This powerful
utility is designed to free up disk space by removing unnecessary
and useless files. It's a fast and easy-to-use aid to extend
the use of your hard drive. You only need to select the drives/folders
you want to scan and choose the file types to scan for. Disk
Cleaner offers several common waste file types to choose from,
and allows you to add your own file types to the list as well.
Once the scan process is complete, you're given the opportunity
to edit the list; then you can choose to delete your selections
or compress them as ZIP files.

Program Cleaner helps clean
up after programs that have been unistalled. Some uninstall
programs aren't well-behaved and don't "clean up"
after themselves, leaving the program listed in the Windows
"Add/Remove Programs" applet. Program Cleaner will
locate these invalid uninstall entries, allowing you to permanently
delete the unneeded listings. You can also use Program Cleaner
to uninstall programs you no longer need - there are probably
programs on your computer right now that you never use and didn't
even know were there! |
