Free up your disk space and fix registry issues with ccleaner

It’s always nice to have an application take care
of things on your computer for you when all you have to do is sit back
click a button and wait. CCleaner is yet another application which lets you do just that. Primarily known as a privacy software, A product from Piriform,
CCleaner looks into various system directories and application data and
deletes all temporary and non-required data that accumulates in your
computer and takes up hundreds of megabytes on your hard disk in just
two steps, ‘Analyze’ then ‘Run cleaner’, just like that!

Featuring a simple, user-friendly interface
CCleaner gets rid of temporary files on your computer and also provides
another useful ‘one click’ feature of scanning your registry for errors
and dead entries and removing them. While it is known to be a privacy
software, I’d like to think of it as a tweaking and optimizing utility
as apart from deleting private data like recent documents and temporary
internet files to name two of them, it also removes non-required,
temporary data thereby freeing up disk space and also speeding up your
computer. Not to forget the optimization and tweaking it provides by
fixing registry issues.

Well, being a useful tool is always complemented
by the application turning out to be a popular and ‘top rated’ one and
such is the case for CCleaner as well. Its home page boasts ‘over 130
million downloads’ and that’s not too hard to believe considering it
has made it onto the ‘Top rated’ and ‘Most popular’ pages of many
popular software portals:



It also contains a few useful preferences you can
set like assigning custom folder contents to be deleted when the
cleaner is run and a start with windows option so that temporary files
from the previous login session can be removed. The application is
updated on a frequent basis with newer features and bug fixes. It works
on Windows 98/NT4/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista. Click here to visit the CCleaner home page.
