What do you use to cleanup your Windows install? I switched to Wise disk/registry lately but it doesn't seems to be much better than CCleaner
Should I switch back?
Can I just do all of that with built-in Windows 7/10 tools?

i use gentoo to clean up my windows install

It's the first shit I run if a family member complains that his computer is slow.
It's just a GUI to run a cache and registry cleaner. Now if you can tell me how to easily do that I'd be glad to learn
Else go fuck yourself with your silly buzzword ;)
Aiden Richardson
What was the last good, acceptable version of CCleaner, again?
Aiden Howard
I don't shit in the street so I see no need to use Wangblows.
Aiden Miller
BleachBit is a FOSS alternative available on Linux and Windows that can also import (custom) cleaning definitions from CCleaner.
bleachbit.org
For general usage, the disk cleaning assistant is sufficient.
Logan Edwards
I don't like CCleaner ever since Piriform included malware with that one version of Speccy. It's complete garbage now in my opinion.
Just use BleachBit. It clearly works since crooked Hillary used it to wipe the data on her e-mail servers when she got subpoenaed for said data. When asked about wiping her data in court, she simply responded, "What, with a cloth or something?" which is an admission of guilt that the law was unable to act on as a result of the lack of evidence.
BleachBit just works.
Gabriel Torres
Last week some user fucked his disk by using this software. Idk how tho
Isaiah Garcia
You can fuck your computer with CCleaner as well, it's not a BleachBit exclusive feature.
Julian Edwards
why does CC want to update other software on my system? it never did that before.
Matthew King
Is it bad that I never "clean" my computer?

>Win 10 (forgive me)
I use wiztree every now and then to see what is clogging up my drive.
Matthew King
Why can't you use a real OS like GNU?
Dominic Walker
I can only see CCleaner, BleachBit and similars fucking your system if you mess with the registry, because cleaning the recycle bin and deleting caches and your browsing history is pretty much irrelevant to the OS.
Camden Anderson
Which W10 version is the least bloat free apart from Enterprise? I have the regular iso that allows home/pro/education yada yada. I don't care about botnet as it's in an offline VM, I just want as many things like Cortana disabled.
>why not use LTSC?
Because I can't be arsed to look for isos through unofficial channels. With a linux useragent microsoft just lets you download the regular version without bullshitting.
Jaxson Richardson
I can't figure out how to get things to work on other OS's. Maybe I'm just dumb.
I'll consider learning it when I'm less busy.
Dominic White
Thanks! I did use it on Ubuntu but I didn't know there was a Windows release
Caleb King
Even a "non-bloated" version will get bloated along with the updates. There are many tools to automatically turn the Microsoft spying shit off and to remove all Win10 apps
I even saw that you could install apps without the store lately, since I wanted everything off except for the calculator and weather ones
Daniel Perry
I use ccleaner portable, then download ccenhancer, then set it to run at startup.

Cleanmgr is all you need.

Realistically the only acceptable answer
This is what you apply afterwards
Tyler Perez
Privacy Eraser Free, it just werks.
David Flores
Can i run this shit silently, like, in background?
Aiden Gray
Kayden Brooks
None, just clear temp. You'll get the same result as this piece of shit
Carter Myers
retard
I bet you defrag as well
John Gray
Can be turned off in settings.
ccleaner deletes a lot more files then just the temp folder.
Charles Hill
You can get the same effect by disabling indexing. The majority of Windows rot comes from the registry where programs refuse to clean up after themselves when uninstalling. CCleaner *mostly* takes care of some of that though.
Nathaniel Martinez
just make your own tools free from the botnet
docs.microsoft.com
here's the documentation on the registry
Josiah Ramirez
Just on my system is clears:
>Internet Explorer temp items
>Internet Explorer cookies
>Thumbnail cache
>Temporary files
>Log files
>Error reports
>Chrome cache
>Chrome history
>Chrome cookies
>Steam cached shit
Totaling ~300 files and 200 some Mb. And I run it fairly often, it's going to be a lot worse for some fucker who's either never ran it or runs it annually or something.
I don't know about you, but it's a lot more convenient to use ccleaner to wipe that stuff out (permanently if I want to) then to spend several minutes doing it manually. Also like you said it's registry cleaner is nice. Note that I'm not saying it's the best utility, but it does get the job done of cleaning shit for you quickly and cleaning the registry.

Cleaning your cache and registry does nothing do speed up the computer. The difference in performance that "cleaning" the registry is definitely not noticeable, if there is any at all. And unless the disk is full, cleaning cache actually slows down the system. Faster loading is the whole point of having a cache. Obsolete cache is cleaned automatically anyway.
Leo Gutierrez
Some of us don't care about purported claims of performance gain and just like a clean and tidy system, but don't want to spend several minutes cleaning up after Windows.
