So I have been researching a few other junk file cleaning utilities since CCleaner seems to break my icons on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 and I came across SlimCleaner[/B[/URL]].
I like it very much.
It has successfully cleaned my temp files, and C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download files which basically are the temp downloaded Windows updates that are no longer needed after they are installed.
Additionally, it offers a few other tools that are actually worth while; like a startup file system checker that has info on every startup file on your computer with ratings from other users of the community telling you what they are and if they are needed or not.
It also has a registry cleaner built in but I cannot comment whether or not it is safe or not to use at this stage.
I just discovered called Proxy that is a Microsoft service that sends usage reports about your computer using habits.
I dont know how come it is not so popular on the next but it has passed all the tests that I've thrown at it.
Other utilities I have tried and have failed are:
Wise Disk Cleaner:
1- Fails to clean the temp files of my Windows user account properly, some of the temp files are left there untouched.
2- Everytime I clean with Wise Disk Cleaner, my browser downloaded programs such as a game I play on MSN Spades called Spades gets deleted and I have to re-download/re-install it upon visiting the site as if it was the first time I am launching my browser
R-Cleaner:
1- Fails to clean the temp files of my Windows user account properly, some of the temp files are left there untouched.
2- Does not clean the temp downloaded Windows update located in: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
