Doesn't Windows 10 basically do this itself?
- zionic 9y agoHardly. CCleaner can easily remove 5-6GB of junk.
- binarray2000 9y agoI use CCleaner for maybe even 10 years, a great tool. But Windows 10 (a few older versions as well, but somewhat hidden) has something similar called "Disk Cleanup" (Win key > enter "Disk Cleanup" > "Clean up system files" > Check all marks). "Disk Cleanup" removes stuff that CCleaner doesn't, so I use them together. You can even remove system restore and shadow copies (Win key > enter "Disk Cleanup" > "Clean up system files" > "More Options" tab > "System Restore and Shadow Copies" > "Clean up" button).

- collinmanderson 9y ago"a few older versions as well" - It's been in every version since Windows 98 :)
- ballenf 9y agoThe latest Win 10 has a new setting that vaguely indicates it will look for and delete temporary files automatically. On my machine it was not turned on by default. No idea how much it gets vs. leaves behind and since turning on it hasn't thrown up any obvious notifications lauding itself. This is on a secondary machine. My primary machine isn't Windows.
