"12 yr user, Happy as ever"
5/5
What do you like best about CCleaner?

1. Swift cleaning of cookies 2. Able to include or exclude multiple levels of scanning depth ...for example you could exclude scan (removal) of email client passwords since that one is used daily. 3. Strong registry cleaning 4. Paid version has a wonderful driver update version and thus is well recommended if your system is more than 2 years old (especially laptops) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

I have been using Ccleaner for a very long time, and to date, I haven't faced any issues. It may also use a heavy Ram that can slow down your system. It sometimes delete those files which we do not want to delete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent software for a healthy computer"
5/5
What do you like best about CCleaner?

CCleaner is available for free with an excellent set of features to help you keep your computer running as good as new. Combined with a robust anti-virus software, CCleaner is the icing on the cake to ensure that your computer doesn't slow down. You can use it to delete unwanted files automatically or at your will. CCleaner has the tools to delete cache files, clear your browser's cookies and caches to speed it up, and disable any software causing your CPU to have high load times. You can use it to remove junk files and app data from Windows software and any software that you've installed manually. It has other tools for optimization and defragmentation of the disk drives for better load time and seamlessness of use. CCleaner comes with a Pro version that has additional features to help maintain the top-notch running of your computer, such as cleaning the system files and analyzing the registry for any issues or leftover files from uninstalling any software. CCleaner also shows you a list of all the software you have installed and the last time you used them. This list can give you an idea of which software you no longer use and uninstall them accordingly to save space and improve your computer's speed. CCleaner is like an overseer of your computer, helping you manage all file and software-related information that would be a pain to keep track of manually. It does an excellent job in this regard, and it's a vital software for every computer for it to continue functioning like it's brand new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

I don't dislike anything about CCleaner, a free software that I've upgraded to Pro due to years of usage and satisfaction. It's excellent in what it's supposed to do, and I've never come across any issues with it thus far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Vital for maintaining good PC performance"
5/5
What do you like best about CCleaner?

CCleaner is an essential tool for maintaining the good health of your PC. It's easy to use and has an intuitive UI with all the tools easily accessible. It comes with in-built tools for cleaning your PC, cleaning the system registry, and several tools to optimize and improve your PC's performance. You can clean Windows files and Applications data. The Windows files include data from Microsoft Edge, thumbnail cache, Recycle Bin, temporary files, log files, and file fragments. All of these files are junk that accumulates from using your PC daily that serves no purpose. You can delete these files safely through CCleaner to free up RAM, disk space and increase load time while using the PC. You can also clear applications data, such as the internet cache, download history, and session information for any other browser you use. CCleaner does an excellent job of tracking any other application you regularly use to find any junk files they create for quicker deletion.

CCleaner has system optimization tools to uninstall any application, disable startups, and analyze and defragment disks for improved hard disk performance. If any application on your desktop isn't functioning correctly, you can use CCleaner to repair it. CCleaner also allows you to manage, enable, disable, and delete all your web browser extension for any browser you have installed on your PC. It also differentiates plugins from extensions and shows their current version so you can easily make updates if needed. The disk scanner is excellent and scans your PC to find which types of files are using the most disk space. CCleaner automatically categorizes pictures, music, documents, video, etc., to give you a more comprehensive view of all the files so you can delete any unwanted files manually.

The registry cleaner is as important as the system cleaner as it allows you to clean the registry. You can scan for issues in windows services, startup apps, obsolete software, applications, libraries, etc., and CCleaner will give you the option to fix the selected cases. One of the best features of CCleaner is the System Restore, where it scans your PC for any system backs you have created to restore the PC to its previous state if you run into any significant problems.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

I use CCleaner daily and haven't had any issues or complaints so far. It's a free software that anyone can download, so I highly recommend it as it's very user-friendly and allows you to delete unwanted files without any risks securely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good utility for PC"

What I like most is the efficient cleaning and maintenance of the children's computer space. Also, it is useful to fix registry errors and block phishing programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not very convenient that CCleaner loads the RAM of weak computers. This is especially noticeable when the computer is loaded with file junk and cannot cope with the task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple yet powerful software"
4/5
What do you like best about CCleaner?

After trying multiple software on the internet, this is the best I have used so far, It saves so much time from manual cleaning the junk files to do all things in just one click. It is the first thing that I use when the computer works slow. It's Simple, User-friendly, Lightweight, and powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

There are not any specific reasons that I dislike but some features are not that much useful. Like in registry cleaner, I am not able to select it category wise, yes I can select each but then it becomes a time-consuming process. I have also faced issues while creating a system recovery in which it can't add new applications that I have installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CCleaner makes your computer as good as new"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CCleaner?

CCleaner is an excellent software that you can use to get rid of all unwanted files from your computer. The interface is straightforward, and its tools are easy to use. From the home screen, you can select all the applications you want to analyze, such as your browser's internet cache, download history, last download location, etc. These are redundant files that pile up from long-term use that you can safely delete using CCleaner without losing any essential data. You can also clear cache from other non-browser software. CCleaner's usefulness and ability to delete unwanted files go beyond removing cache files. You can scan your registry for missing shared DLLs, unused file extensions, obsolete software, installers, application paths, etc., and fix all the highlighted issues. More available tools allow you to uninstall any software from your computer. You can see their version, size, install date, publisher, and other helpful information that you can use to decide which software you no longer want. You can also disable the startup applications, which can severely impact the speed of Windows boot time. Other lesser-used tools that CCleaner offers are System Restore, which you can use to restore an older backup if your computer malfunctions, and Drive Wiper, which you can use to erase all the contents in a drive completely.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

CCleaner is free with some basic features. To have all of them enabled, you'll need to purchase CCleaner Pro. However, Windows 10, by default, has all the tools that CCleaner has to offer. So, there's no reason why CCleaner shouldn't be free of cost completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
