safe old versions and ccleaner alternative

Hi

can I ask you 2 questions?

1)
Is there a safe site to download old versions ?
I have found filepuma dot com , i have downloaded CCleaner v5.37.6309 and seems perfect , even techspot seems good
I guess it should be one of the last without ads
i'm using only to empty temp and some garbage

2)
I know there are some threads about ccleaner alternative
but i'm looking for a safe software just to delete temp files is Bleachbit
just 2 software free , slim and in past ccleaner pretty powerfull
thanks

 

Code:

https://download.ccleaner.com/ccsetup537.exe

 

When I abandoned CCleaner, I went with System Ninja. There is a free and "Pro" (paid) version. I have been using it for years and I am very happy with it, so happy I subscribed to the Pro version two years ago.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

 

Another nice cleaner I use is HDCleaner free, and of course PrivaZer.

 

thats quite funny, because the crapcleaner entries are cumulated and not for real - compare with browsers savings, nothing will fit. best tool for browser is browser itself.
also cleaning windows and browser - your machine need to reload anything again. you start reloading and reloading and reloading, and thus producing trails endlessly - instead reloading from cache and producing no trails.
anyhow ccleaner has no advertisement. maybe its setup routine has. but any ccleaner is producing privacy issues because its nosy and sending data to piriform > avast > norton lifelock > gen digital. seriously?

I kept the old version of CCleaner v5.65.7632 Portable handy. Download https://mega.nz/file/XbJgxDrQ#g4NRyoJCpr31ymB_B_cwI_ElmX35cTRYeA8DC0xLyA0

 

You are kidding me/us right?

 

hi Spartan
it 's your favorite version ?
thanks

Hi Mr.X
no , just i can't find the the homepage of the link , it's not download dot com
thanks

 

The link provided by @Mr.X is valid. Click on it and the .exe file is offered for download.

Btw, I use Privacy Eraser as a replacement for CCleaner.

hi
nobody does use Bleachbit , doesn't ?
thanks

 

Yes since the debacle of ccleaner, I’m using it once in awhile.

 

I don't use anything, but about Bleacbit, i had issues with it on windows 7, and i don't bother with software that don't run properly for whatever reason. Especially when there are dozens of alternatives

 

Something to consider:
Do you feel it to be safe to use a more than six year old version of CCleaner?
The OS and applications you want to 'clean up' have had many updates and changes since six years ago.
Do you think a six year old 'clean up' application finds the correct items to delete from your current OS and applications?
To me, it would feel scary to use such an old 'clean up' application.

 

hi
i just clean temp folders , that's all ,the folders are the same
i guess even an old software should do the same
the new versions of ccleaner (after avast bought it ) is just garbage

 

I don't see it, been using it for years not one problem, have it set to the max on windows 10.

 

LOL of course not. It's the very very ccleaner.com
just by looking at the url you can tell!

You should learn how to look up for domain registrants/owners!
https://www.whois.com/whois/ccleaner.com

Spoiler

Now you look up who Gen Digital, Inc. is


Alright here it is

Yes used it, but dangerous.

 

bleachbit need same attention as ccleaner and privazer and others cleaners - too much is destructive.
bleachbit itself is not "mine", i dont like it because of its GUI. ccleaner has changed also in time. my experience: smaller UI have problems to show all, some need further clicks for partial views. wise, glary are such candidates. ccleaner has an UI which i like although it changed and could be better, but maximized its ok.
like my view to any things, in special cleaners and ad blockers - use the one which you can handle. dont like nosy apps? then block it with a firewall - windows firewall can do that very effective. ccleaner works although blocked.
a very special tip: browsers used sqlite data bases for anything. cleaners work on such data bases and in most cases those cleaners destroy the database as browser need to work on it. it may work for a period, but then the big bang. user need to watch and recognize, which elements appear on the search result over and over again - then it makes no sense to delete them, in special for windows (see above)

#typos

 

Dark theme asked many times in their forums, supposedly working on it but never implemented. Doh

 

i dont use dark mode in windows, i also dont use black paper to write in white on it

 

It was, does all I need, until recently I started using HiBit Uninstaller and just use its own junk files cleaner. But from CCleaner, that's the only version I'd use, everything after that is just bloat.

 

hi
but I have never understood if it's enabled basic user or advanced user

what does it mean ? how could be setted at max?
there is not even a guide or a pdf !
thanks

 

@Spartan

Hi
do you thinkis HiBit Uninstaller pretty safe?
just because it's 100% free and portable
thanks
