How reliable is it? Did anyone test it? Usually I don't like to much these Jack of All Trades...is it really a good alternative to CCleaner? Right now I am using BleachBit , very simple and does the job.
Looks good. That means I will leave it on my hard drive for a while. I have already done a backup in case something goes haywire.

I tried the new version of HDCleaner, earlier today. I no longer recommend it, as now by default, it cleans the registry as well as junk files. The registry cleaner has issues with false positives and more than likely will delete needed registry keys. I will be safe to use if you don't use the registry cleaner, but I feel the Wise Disk Cleaner is a better product and has the benefit of not including a registry cleaner, which is almost always a good thing.
