Windows applications create several files on your hard drive for temporarily storing the data. These files are supposed to be removed when application terminates. Often, they will not been removed because of a program error, sloppy architecture, your system gets reset or does not shut down properly, or another application locks up or crash. It is important to know that any file which is left behind in this manner will remain on your system unless you manually search and remove it. Over time, these junk and obsolete files can accumulate to megabytes of wasted hard drive space, as well as turn into potential error-producing cross-linked drive references. XP Disk Cleaner targets these specific types of files which are missed by common disk utilities like Uninstaller, Defrag and Scandisk etc.

There are several reasons to clean your system disks. Here are the most important ones.

It increases performance of your computer due to decreasing of the used disk space and the paging file, and cutting time for data search, since there is less data to search through. And, of course, cleanness is the key to health not only for humans, but for any system.

Another important reason to clean your computer is to secure your information from intruders. When working with the internet, the browser records all sorts of personal information such as name, birthday, address, credit card numbers, and much more. This information is used to automatize working with certain websites and is updated in the course of dealing with those websites.

Our program is fast and effective in cleaning your disk space, improving the performance of your computer, and maintaining the security of your personal information.

Features


The main difference between our program and other existing ones is that it searches not just the standard places where temporary files are stored (such as cache and internet history), but also the rest of the disk space. This helps to detect and remove unnecessary information that accumulates on the entire disk space. This process is fast and easy to run.


Another key difference of our program is its ability to uninstall software that was installed on your machine at some point but never used. This is done with just few mouse clicks.


This feature allows you to decide which cookies should be deleted regularly and which cookies should be saved. In the list of cookies there is information about which site the cookies belong to, so you can easily tell which cookies are used for which website. Saved cookies are automatically excluded from the list of cookies to delete.


Sometimes you can waste hours going through our folders, documents, and back-up files, trying to find old files to delete in order to clean up the hard drive. In many cases you have to open the files and skim through them before deleting. Our utility will help you with this task and save you time. There is a special routine for scanning user folders. The user can specify a folder, properties of the files in that folder, and the number of days to keep specified files. For example, if the user chooses to keep certain files for 5 days, the program will purge all files older than 5 days. This helps to clean out not just old files and documents, but also archives and back-up files.


Files can be deleted four different ways: permanent deleting from the disk, deleting to recycle bin. The last way allow the user to resurrect deleted files and folders in case they are needed.


All actions of our program are logged into a pre-defined log file. This allows the user to track all actions, in case the user was absent during the scanning (automatic cleaning) or the scanning was performed by somebody else.
