CleanUp

CleanUp, in its latest version 11.0, is a robust utility developed by Steven R. Gould that fits well within the System Utilities category and the Plugins Addons subcategory. It supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11, making it highly versatile for various users.

CleanUp automatically identifies potentially useless files on your drives, which you can address with just one click. You can specify useless files by their extension type (e.g., *.tmp), exclude specific file names, and protect certain folders from being searched. It also offers the ability to search for zero-length files, clean Temp directories, and even purge your Netscape cache and URL history.

Before taking any action, CleanUp allows you to review every file it identifies, providing a safety net for those cautious about deletions. If desired, files can be redirected to a destination folder or the Recycle Bin. CleanUp also features an auto-run capability, allowing it to operate silently at every reboot, offering a very stealthy experience.

In addition to clearing junk files, CleanUp effectively scans and deletes files from the recycle bin, temporary files folder, history, and internet temporary files, thereby freeing up valuable HD space. It supports different cleaning modes including basic, normal, full, and custom, with the optimized space depending on the chosen scan type and the interval since the last cleaning session.

The program files include cleanmgr.exe, onictask.exe, MSConfigCleanUp.exe, Icon1F213A461.exe, and cut.exe, covering a wide array of cleaning functionalities. Users can still find earlier versions like 4.5 and 3.4 if needed.
