I know this topic is hackneyed but there are some programs that I haven't studied in depth so far and that I would like to recommend to everyone. These are programs that allow you to eliminate unnecessary files that are no longer needed and to eliminate all traces of computer use by deleting the various temporary files that are created automatically.
I refer therefore, not only to the various usage histories of programs and internet browsers but also to those orphaned files that were part of programs now uninstalled and deleted.
Deleting these files also allows you to save disk space, which for some may not be a necessity but which is always useful for system maintenance.
The most famous program to eliminate any file that is no longer needed and any trace of history is Ccleaner which represents a must and one of those fundamental tools.
However, it is not the only free tool that allows you to clean your computer and perhaps not the best one.
There are others, equally powerful, that differ from each other and compared to Ccleaner, for the type of file to be considered useless.
In general, those who have experience, will be able to study and make comparisons between the files removed by one or the other program while those who do not have it will be able to judge these software on the basis of ease of use and the speed to perform this important and indispensable operation. of maintenance.
1) The most valid program and the best alternative to Ccleaner that can be found is BleachBit, an open source and therefore free software, which can be installed on Windows and Linux .
For Linux systems, Bleachbit is one of the most important programs given the scarcity of alternatives.
BleachBit can be downloaded in a version to be installed or in a portable version, without installation, as a Zip file.
Using BleachBit is really easy, also because in Italian .
When you open the program, all the programs installed on your Windows or Linux computer that created temporary files are listed in a column.
By placing a cross you can choose which software to make each track disappear : Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, Java, Flash, Adobe REader, Office, Winrar and others.
There are also: a category related to the system to remove files created by Windows that are no longer needed (such as installers, backup files), a function for the thorough scanning of temporary files and the removal of the history of file searches and image thumbnails.
Bleachbit is perhaps the best privacy program : it does not delete the files created by the user but the historical references to what has been done on the internet and on the computer.
2) An easy-to-use but more difficult to understand program is Wise File Cleaner which does not split the deletion options by programs but by file extensions.
Experts will be able to select which files to delete from the computer based on their format.
3) Moo0 disk cleaner is similar to Bleachbit but more confusing due to a less clear interface for choosing programs to clean up.
4) Slim Cleaner is an interesting novelty that can satisfy the most precise and those who want to have maximum control over the objects to be eliminated .
Slim Cleaner divides the cleaning section into three categories: System, Applications and browsers .
For each element it gives the possibility to choose what to remove therefore, compared to BleachBit and Ccleaner, it offers a greater number of options.
The applications section includes all the programs on which data is stored and allows you to reset them completely making them come back as new.
The browser section, on the other hand, is more limited than Bleachbit and allows you to remove only temporary elements such as cookies and other cache files.
SlimCleaner has other Windows management and administration functions (the uninstaller and memory monitoring) that can always be useful.
5) Square Privacy Cleaner is a program developed by NoVirusThanks, a famous software house that guarantees quality.
In fact, it is similar to BleachBit, with the possibility of choosing various categories of files to be deleted and with a scan of the Junk Files, or the orphaned files that are no longer needed and that only annoy the Windows performance.
In another article I had put the best programs to clean registry keys which is different from deleting files that are no longer needed but equally important.
What programs do you use to delete temporary files and find the ones you don't need anymore?
