Disk Cleaner Free

Disk Cleaner Free is a straightforward piece of kit whose purpose is to remove junk files from the disk, in accordance with a user-defined set of rules. It comes packed with intuitive settings that can be adjusted even by users with less experience in disk cleaning utilities.
Installing the app does not take a long time. However, users should be careful when going through these steps, since Disk Cleaner Free offers to download and install third-party tools that it does not need to function within normal parameters.
The interface of the app is pretty user-friendly. A list with all identified drives is immediately loaded at startup, and you can select one, multiple or all of them for cleaning.
Before doing so, it is possible to tweak options when it comes to the file deletion method (send to Recycle Bin, permanently remove, or shred), choose web browsers to take into account in matter of cookies, cache and history (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari), as well as include system log and old update files, Recycle Bin, recently used documents, and the temporary directory.
In addition, you can filter file masks for the scanning operation, as well as create lists with file and folder exceptions. Settings can be restored to their default values at any time. When executing the cleaning command, Disk Cleaner Free shows the exact items it intends to delete and lets the user decide what to include and exclude.
The app does not put a strain on computer performance, as it uses low CPU and RAM. It carries out a cleaning job rapidly and does not cause the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. We have not come across any kind of issues throughout our evaluation. All in all, Disk Cleaner Free gets the job done.
