WinUtilities Disk Cleaner is a freely available system maintenance tool that frees up disk space by getting rid of all those files that neither you nor your system needs any more and that keep on piling up on your hard disk’s clusters. These junk files include Internet and Windows temporary files, Word list files, backup files, log files, hibernation files, and many, many more.
The program can wipe away as many or as few files as you wish, as its comprehensive settings allow you to decide on which type of files (based on their size, extension, etc.) or which folders will be part or not of the scan process. Luckily enough, this free yet full-featured application can create restore points to which you can come back to if the changes made go beyond what you expected. Besides, the selected files do not need to be permanently deleted right away – you can store them in a specific folder or just keep them in the recycle bin until further notice. As a bonus, the program's advanced cleaning settings will give you the possibility of getting rid of your Internet traces and history, thus safeguarding part of your privacy.
One of the things I certainly value most about this tool is that it is a fully functional free taster of all the WinUtilities available from YL Software – that is, it not only scans and detects candidate files, it does wipe them away from your system, if you want the program to do so.
