Disk Cleaner

Disk Cleaner is a small software application whose purpose is to help you clean temporary files so you can make your computer work faster.

Clean looks

The tool reveals a simple layout that integrates several straightforward features. A help manual is available in case you need further assistance with the configuration process.

Set up custom cleaning tasks

Disk Cleaner gives you the possibility to scan your entire computer. You may manually select the items that you want to scan, namely temporary files, temporary Internet file, Recycled items, My Recent Documents, Windows Prefetch files, downloaded items, Windows Updates files, as well as Flash cookie files.
You are allowed to select or deselect all items with a single click, or select only the recommended files. You are given the freedom to choose the files that you want to delete from your system.
A scan task can be personalized by specifying the target disk, filtering items by file type, looking for file attributes (Normal, Hidden, Read-Only, System, Archive, Encrypted), as well as including subfolders.
Tests have shown that Disk Cleaner carries out scan and deletion tasks quickly. It eats up from a moderate up to a high amount of system resources so the overall performance of the computer may be affected. Disk Cleaner has not been updated for a while so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems. We have tested it on Windows 8.1 Pro and come across several crashes.

Bottom line

All in all, Disk Cleaner offers support for several handy features but it still needs some functionality improvements in order to be called a reliable system cleaner.
