Review by Jerome Johnston (Cybersecurity Editor)

on 20 Jun 2012

If you have used the computer for a long time, then probably your hard disk is full of useless and obsolete files and folders. That's because most applications, after they are uninstalled, leave a lot of useless files and folders behind. This data can slow down the computer after a certain amount of time and can also cause stability issues. Even web browsers can cause problems, as every website generates cookies and cache on your hard disk. These cookies contain all the user's passwords, bank accounts and so on, so in case a hacker takes over the computer, all the user's personal data may be in danger.

The Disk Cleanup tool included in Windows isn't too advanced, as it leaves a lot of files and folders behind. The best solution would be to install a separate application for removing all your useless data. Such a program is File Cleaner. This intuitively named Windows app can be installed in the easiest way possible, as it requires only a few clicks for completing this operation.

After installing and running the program, the user will be presented with a simple and intuitive interface which includes several tabs. The first tab of File Cleaner allows cleaning all the data generated by web browsers. Unfortunately, only Chrome and Internet Explorer are supported.

The next tab of the application can analyze most common applications and can automatically clean up all the temporary and useless data generated by these applications. Besides cleaning up useless files generated by applications and web browsers, File Cleaner can even clean up all the temporary data generated by the operating system. A feature which makes File Cleaner different from other similar programs is the possibility to wipe files, for making them impossible to recover using recovery tools.

Pros

It allows you to delete all the temporary and useless data generated by web browsers, Windows applications and the operating system itself. Besides that, it can completely wipe files, beyond recovery.

Cons

The demo version is a bit limited, as it doesn't allow you to remove all the found temporary data. File Cleaner allows you to clean up your system from useless and obsolete data, using a very simple interface.
