Install over the top.

How about including some stuff like JV16 PowerTools has about cleaning Start Up Items and Advanced Uninstall Stuff?

The download still says it version 105 instead of 106?

Is the download actually version 1.0.6.048?

Great Program, Must Have!

Keep it free :)

o another question for my friend taht is using other windows beside xp home and pro.

Is this program compatible with otther windows out there.

Yup, it's compatible with all versions of Windows from 98/NT4 onwards.

Not sure why the website hasn't updated, try a refresh, as I updated it this morning. :huh:

Glad you like it. It's fast because I focused on speed rather than flashy interfaces, splash screens etc. ;)

Hmm... have you removed the right-click -> fix all item in the registry cleaner? Right click doesn't do anything anymore :( Also, would it be possible to have a more accurate progress bar? I don't like how it keeps starting again as the program scans the registry - theres no way of knowing how long it's going to take! It's hard to explain, but I'd rather that when it gets to the right hand side it's complete.

Hmmm... strange.... no haven't removed it, I'll look into that one.

Good point about the progress bar, it worked fine when the progress took a couple of seconds, now it's scanning more stuff it tends to loop a bit. ;)

Weird - the right click menu in the registry cleaner works ok on my Win2000 machine...?

Could you also add a progress bar for when CCleaner is fixing the registry problems - if there's alot and you choose 'Fix All' there's nothing to say whats going on and some people might think that the program has frozen.

Any more progress with having CCleaner as a single executable? I'd love to be able to run it from my new USB Flash Drive. I tried copying the folder over as suggested, but I get a 'Run-time error 429, ActiveX component can't create object' error when I try to run it. Is there anything I could add to the folder to enable the program to run?

Btw, great work so far - I really like the program. It just needs a little 'fine tuning' to make it great! :)

I doubled checked the right-click issue and it worked fine on my test machines. So not quite sure what's wrong. Anyone else noticed this problem?

A single executable is still a plan, although not in the immediate future. (Unless everyone thinks it's essential ;))

You can manually install it by copying all the files in the Program files\CCleaner folder onto the new machine and registering all the OCXs.

Ok, it does work - I just didn't realise that you had to actually right-click one of the items for the menu to appear - I was just right-clicking in the empty space!

Nah, a single exe is not essential - just being able to copy the folder across would be good enough but I always get that OCX error. How exactly do I register them? Could I add something to the folder to allow the program to run directly from the USB Drive without having to do anything on the actual pc?

Sure, just setup a batch file to do:

regsvr32 filename.ocx

then uninstall with

regsvr32 /u filename.ocx

Hi, me again - sorry if it seems like all I every do is complain about this program. I love it and want to help make it better!

I've just come across a small problem with the button text being cut off when using the XP Style.

post-34-1079719357.jpg

Im using KoL's Smooth Stripes 4 VS, but it does it with some others too. Once I set CCleaner to the Standard or Flat style, the text was fine so no major problem, but possibly something for the next update?

:) No probs. Ran a few tests with that theme and had similar problems, just in different places (which is a bit odd).

But a few spacing tweaks seems to have fixed it. I'll post an update shortly.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
