It is one the most popular PC optimization programs around, for several reasons. Just by selecting the drive you want scanned, CCleaner will reveal the amount of space you can save, and the adjustments it can make. Just select files you want removed and the program will do its best.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rocketfiles.com\/windows\/utilities-and-tools\/system-optimization\/ccleaner\/portable\">Portable CCleaner<\/a> also has a registry cleaner\nthat corrects errors and removes unused entries that could potentially slow\ndown your PC. Additionally, it has a file shredder which is secured and used\nfor cleaning confidential data such as browsing history and files that have\nbeen recently opened in different programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also removes cache files and cookies on any browser \u2013\nFirefox, Chrome, Explorer, and Opera. It goes beyond that by deleting the\ncookie stored by Flash Player. It goes further to delete private data which\ncould be potentially risky, such as list of file names recently opened in Adobe\nReader, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Word, and other Windows applications.\nAlthough all these are customizable, CCleaner is programmed to delete all these\ndata by default. Not only does it delete junk files, it also deletes more than\nthe browsing data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CCleaner functions with both the 32-bit and 64-bit\nversions of all Windows \u2013 including Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 7,\nWindows 8, and Windows 10. To get started, there are two methods of\ninstallation available. The first is the \u201cinstaller\u2019 and it installs CCleaner\nfully, including an option to install Google Chrome as well, and the Google\nToolbar. The second method of installation is called the \u201cportable\u2019 version\nthat is mostly recommended because it doesn\u2019t require any installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CCleaner can accurately be called a system cleaner,\nrather than just a registry cleaning tool, because it cleans more than just the\nregistry of computers. This program has the \u201cTools\u2019 section where users can\nuninstall other programs automatically, see and change programs that startup\nwith Windows, locate and get rid of files that are taking lots of disk space,\nlocate duplicate files, and even clean up a drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantages of CCleaner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It is fast to install<\/li><li>Comes with various installation options<\/li><li>Gives you an option of keeping cookies you don\u2019t want\nto delete, such as web logins<\/li><li>Context menu addition to your Recycle Bin<\/li><li>Performs regular program updates<\/li><li>Before any changes to the registry is made, it creates\nbackup files<\/li><li>Has a killer feature<\/li><li>It can avoid scanning some registry keys you choose<\/li><li>Supports various versions of Windows<\/li><li>It is available on Mac and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Android_(operating_system)\">Android<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>User experience of CCleaner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Theoretically, all that cleaner accomplishes could be\ndone using the optimization tools of Windows, your browser settings, and the\nTask Manager. But it will take some time to achieve this, and most people don\u2019t\nhave that time to spare. The clear and well designed interface of CCleaner\nmakes it very simple to keep at the top, and easy to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What should I allow in CCleaner?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than just running the program using its default\nsetting, take time to learn about the different kinds of data you actually want\nto delete. There is an option menu found on the Windows section for removing\ndata associated with Windows, while an Application section has the cleaning\noptions for any third-party application installed in your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure you go through the Applications section to\nprevent CCleaner from constantly deleting your browser\u2019s history \u2013 you\u2019ll have\nto disable the option. CCleaner can also delete your website logins and\npasswords if you enable the option to clear browser\u2019s cookies. This will force\nyou to always log into websites you use regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to use CCleaner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Once installed, go to the \u201cRegistry Cleaner\u2019 heading,\nand ensure the options there are checked. But if you have a good idea on what\nyou would like to clean, you can limit your selection.<\/li><li>Select \u201cScan for Issues\u2019 tab, and when the program is\ndone scanning the registry for junk entries, the green progress bar will get to\n100 percent. If you cancel the process midway, maybe because it is taking too\nlong, you will still be able to fix what was scanned before the cancellation.<\/li><li>Select the \u201cFix selected Issues\u2019 option.<\/li><li>Choose \u201cYes\u2019 when a dialog box asks you if you want to\nbackup your registry before making the changes.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rather than just running the program using its default setting, take time to learn about the different kinds of data you actually want to delete.
