The Best Disk Cleaner

Found 240mb, looks good so far, thanks for the recommendation DVD+R

 

Well,until the regular CleanUp button is available,which should give the option of reviewing what is being deleted-think I'll give this a miss.

Cant afford to keep playing Russian Roulette.

Looks like a winning formula,but the slow and clunky operation needs attention.

 

If you start Sweepi in classic mode, it does let you review the items it cleans.

 

I'm in Classic mode and there is an Explorer style list of items to be cleaned,but after this has been done,I cant see any option to approve or otherwise, what Sweepi intends to delete.

Normally this wouldnt be a necessity with a cleaner I am comfortable with,but as Sweepi deletes so much,I would like to check.

 

Besides each category/item is a green check, just uncheck the items you dont want cleaned.

 

What I'm saying is AFTER the cleanup,but BEFORE the delete,I want to check what is going to be deleted.

I might want temp files or whatever, deleted but maybe not all of them

For example-the CC reg cleaner gives this option as do most or many other cleaners.



In the right hand window,which represents the cleaned items,you can untick entries you dont want deleted.

 

When I ran it for the first time it gave me the option to run classic to be able to see what it deletes before it does. Didn't get a chance to check it out, but may be what you want.

 

How is Sweepi different? It shows you the files too.

Im sorry if I cropped the screenshot too much.

 

In my version the Cleanup button is greyed out-doesnt work,even though I've reinstalled etc.

Only QuickClean works.

Apparently,if this was working all would be well.

Are you saying it works for you and gives you the option I'm talking about?

I am running Classic!

 

My cleanup button is not greyed out and I can easily select only the files I want:



I also checked the Recycle Bin and only the files I deleted are there:

 

OK,Thanks for that, WS Fuser,

I can see it now-I was rushing and not doing the Search Now function,which is the key to it all.

The Expand All function shows all the entries very nicely too

Good one

 

Here the info about the Sweepi people I just knew the Swiss were too quiet on the Software front until now Looks like they are onto something Big! with their products in the future

They must be very young, let's hope that attitude doesn't fade away during the years.

 

Well, I just gave it a spin. I used it right after CCleaner, and it found about 11MB that CCleaner missed, mostly Thumbs.db and .bak files, along with some application files that CCleaner didn't include in its cleaning (Acrobat, Photoshop). I like the tree view of the scanned files. It allowed me to easily find the files that I didn't want to delete. I haven't tried the registry cleaning option, but I've never used registry cleaners, just Ntregopt and Pagedefrag.
MRU Blaster still found 23 items after I ran both programs.

 

Another way is to use a cleanup tool then update your archive/snapshot so you'll always have a fresh and updated system to revert to. Don't forget new software or Windows Updates may be installed in between updates of the archives.

 

what about Clean Disk Security?

This is also good, but ran it on vista, and it cant clean everything

 

Ok, tried Sweepi and I really like it, BUT is it just incredibly slow on my machine? It's taken 15 minutes to empty my recycle bin, which contained one folder of 3.3GB whereas CCleaner is much, much quicker.

 

Maybe Sweepi was doing a secure delete?

 

Is there a Best Disk Cleaner with a log file, that reports every object that has been deleted ?
I know that R-Wipe&Clean has a log, but it tells me NOTHING.
Why isn't there a software, that does its job completely. Pffft.

 

I think so WSFuser.

I've just realised that Sweepi wipes the files 9 times with the 'Delete and overwrite' setting as opposed to 3, so no wonder it takes longer. I just assumed that it was 3 - my fault .

 

So can we asume, I stumbled across an excellent software And everyone sends me beer and chips as a reward OH! and Swiss chocolate too

 

Rumor has it BLUE is buying since his big promotion!

I like it , it seems to do a good job! But I am still playing with it!

I really wish it would keep a log file

 

After running Sweepi do a search for any *.bak files.

Do software.bak and or bookmarks.bak still exist?

Another cleanup to play with

 

I just tried it and it found 91MB. This was after using R-Wipe, Ccleaner, and Advanced Windows Care. And something interesting happened. I use Winrar to open zips. After the trial period it asks you to buy, but most people just close that little box and continue using it. Since I used sweepi and the other tools, that little box no longer pops up. I guess I am in trial mode again. I am very happy with this product.
