What's a good app for removing traces of uninstalled apps and unused/temp files from Windows?

[malG]

I'm not interested in registry cleaners. I know that CCleaner does the job, are there other apps that remove traces of uninstalled apps and unused/temp files from Windows?

I don't mind paying for a high quality product. I like to keep my Win XP clean, your suggestions is appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: I stick by my original answer of: get a bigger hard drive.

WTF? NO useful replies there. BTW I'm only using 30% of my hard drive space

System Mechanic contains a "Software Uninstaller" but does not clean up AFTER an app has been removed. CleanSweep looks promising but I would NOT touch anything from notorious Norton.

So, why bother? Hard drive space is cheap.

The thread is still on the first page, you should use it instead of creating a new thread.

Please enlighten me, where is the thread "on the first page" that shows an app that remove traces of uninstalled apps and unused/temp files from Windows?

I like to remove remnants of Microsoft Office and Photoshop. I'm NOT interested in spyware, adware or antivirus removal.

He may have his topics/page setting jacked up higher than you do malG. It may very well be on his first page. And please try to be a little more polite if you'd like to get help here, n0c is a very well regarded member of this forum.

ps - try a program called Crap Cleaner, sometimes called CCleaner. I use it at home myself.
