PC Drive Cleaner at SirSoft.io (SirCleaner)

I'm trying to see if surecart has an option for me to do that.

 

Which should not be so hard. Ninja does not do anything special, many programs do most of what Nnija does, for free. And they want almost 15USD for what they do. It is just overpriced.

 

Hey Shane,
Any chance to add an option to save specific cookies during clean up?

Thank You!

 

Yes! Three ways.

1. double click on an item in the scan summery list to pull up what it found for that one. Such as the ones that have cookies.
2. Right lick on the summery list and choose view all.

On either one of those you can now see the cookies that where found, select the ones you want to exclude, you can select multiple at once. Then right click on them and add it to the exclude list.

3. Under settings you can control the exclusion list for cookies, add remove and such. Even export and import them via a txt file.

 

Hi,

Just installed SirCleaner. Is there a list of recommendations of what to include / exclude?

Maybe some options could be selected by default.

Great to see you back here, Shane.

 

I haven't been able what to have set as the default. Because it will show only the ones that it sees on the system, that way the tree view is loaded with over 2300 things lol.

Honestly when I use it on customers computers (I also own and run a computer repair business) I just right click on the tree view, click on check everything and go with it lol

 

Outstanding! Thank you, again!

 

Fair enough. Thanks for your reply. I've had no problems so far. First clean removed 4.5 GB!

Cheers.

 

Thanks everyone. As I'm currently working on the new feature of having the program show what it couldn't delete and why I'm finding out a few things.

First off I had to remove a lot of cleaning options from the windows security cleaner in the list because how tightened down the av is there is no way to remove the files, it even blocks the api call to delete them at boot with an Access denied error.
I am going to test if I can add them to the registry without the api and see if that works.

I did find though that if you boot into safe mode those files delete like normal with no problem. So not sure what to do with this information yet.

I'm hoping to have the mew feature out soon, just need to test it like crazy.

Will be the first cleaner I'm aware of that is actually honest on what files it cant delete and offers a delete at reboot option.

I tested another cleaner on cleaning the windows security, found every file mine does, but I found it lies about actually removing them (because they cant actually be removed and my program still finds them), and if you scan again with that cleaner it will say they are gone when they aren't. Sneaky heads! What cleaner am I talking about? Lets just say it wouldn't be "wise" to say other cleaner names lol

 

Got Pro as well...
Ther's a lot of 'fluff' out there, so the price was very reasonable, for what this cleaner does. The speed is remarkably amazing! Thank you, Shane!

 

I am a new SirCleaner Pro convert as well. You know I had my doubts, but with the first-year Pro discount that Shane offered Wilders users, I thought what could I lose . . . ?

I have to say that SirCleaner blows the doors off of previous junk file cleaners that I have used. I have exchanged emails with Shane about my impressions. He has been very responsive. In particular, a detailed Help file is a necessary addition because of the many options offered by SirCleaner to customize what is cleaned.

These are early days. I am confident that Shane will make this the "go-to" junk file cleaner app. Great work, @SirShane ! Kudos.

Just my two cents. Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

 

Just gave it a quick spin, very impressive.

 

Hi Shane, what do you use for deletion method ?
Such as all zeros, 1 or 2 passes.
Couldn't find a setting for this.

 

Hello Shane,
Windows 'Disk Cleaner' has an optional box that can be enabled... Specifically: 'Windows Update Cleanup'.

SirCleaner App has a similar option: 'Windows Update'. After running SirCleaner with this option enabled, it should pretty much clear most of it. However, if I try running Windows Disk Cleaner right after.... it still indicates that there are several Gigabytes of leftover data that's left from previous Windows updates.

Any thoughts? Thank you.

 

I noticed the same thing yesterday after installing the Win10 Preview update.

 

The program just deletes the file it doesnt overwrite it. As for right now it doesn't have privacy options like that but something I'm looking into.

As for windows updates, mine deletes the left over files from the windows updates download location, the windows update cleanup in the clean manger in windows cleans up old updates that are no longer needed, helps clean up the winsxs folder I believe. So both do very different things.

 

I've been testing this in some Virtual Machines over the last couple of days. I must say I am impressed. This has been freeing up a couple of extra Gigabytes that nothing else has been.

 

Thanks, that would put the cherry on top!

 

I just gave the portable version a try.

I noticed it created a folder at the following location. It's currently empty.

Code:

%LocalAppdata%\SirSoft\SirCleaner

Is it needed for a portable version?

Also. I guess you'll be adding more presets in time. There are lots of options to select manually.

 

After you actually clean something, not just scan and ini file will go there that has the date and time of the last cleaning and how much it cleaned. Thats how it can show it on the main window of the program.

 

Can there be an option for that INI file to go in the program folder?

 

Observation: The last Cleaner preset is remembered when you restart the program, but it's not indicated in the Presets dropdown. The Presets dropdown is blank.

 

It blank when you open it, but click on the drop down and they should be there. The program remembers what things are checked in the treeview so once you have things selected the program remembers it (Stores it in the settings.ini file).
As for the ini file it stores in the appdata folder with just that little info mainly because when using the portable version, say from a thumb drive, it will remember that computers last clean date and amount.

The main settings.ini file is in the same folder as the program. Everything else is actually in the same folder as the program.

 

New version released!

v2.4.0
New feature, "Unable To Delete". After doing a cleaning the program will now show a list of the files and folders it was unable to delete and the reason why.

New pro feature with "Unable To Delete". To have the option to delete the files that couldn't be deleted to be deleted at the next system reboot.

UI changes to the Remove, Move and Rename tool. Made window larger and more spaced.

When adding custom cleaning rules, the number of total items possible is updated properly.

Removed Login data for all browsers from the cleaner.

Updated fonts in the entire program to be slightly larger.

Large number of tweaks and improvements.
