yisman Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Isn't this the usual stuff like empty browser history, delete cookies, and delete temp files? You should do that every once in a while anyway. I'm going to try it now and see if it does clear much space for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frease Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 It deleted most of the files in my profile. Lucky that I had a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron2000 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) What is the profile? The stuff in Documents and Settings? Feels rather unsafe. :( I wonder if anyone ended up needing to reinstall after using it? Don't think I'll be using it until I know what it deletes. Reminds me of Bold_Fortune's shrinking WINDOWS folder stuff. Edited January 26, 2005 by iron2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richter Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 It's "secret" is that it cleans your drivers and inf folders in Windows directory (Windows installation files which were copied during install) which explains "the amaizing numbers" of the first run. When you run it afterwards it will clean up just as much as CC or any similar utility because it then cleans the usual temp files. I used this tool on my old computer to create space. It's good if you are limited with space. Edit: Reminds me of Bold_Fortune's shrinking WINDOWS folder stuff. It does that, in a way. I don't like how it's done. You cannot control what to delete and what not, it just does it's stuff and then you are wondering what was deleted. Not the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
