I compared FluentCleaner with SirCleaner last night and FluentCleaner found only about 2/3 of the stuff that SirCleaner found. So I kissed FluenCleaner goodbye.

I tried DiskMax and frankly was shocked when I realized it does not scan for things to delete and then let yo review them before actually deleting anything - it just starts deleting immediately. This makes it a no-go for me. If I missed how to specify a scan first option please let me know -...

I ran both FluentCleaner and SirCLeaner to see how they compared. See screenshot for results from both. Fluent loads and scans faster, bit Sir finds more stuff. (Screenshot is big - scroll to see all of it.)

Hmmmm... that looks like code for No.

Is there a way to control the font size in this new version?

Excellent information dalchina - thanks. I didn't know (but am not surprised) that Macrium was smart enough to treat Page & Hyberfile that way.

Before I installed this update my Win11 Pro with 16 GB RAM C:\ drive had a page file of about 2.5 GB. That size worked fine for me. After installing this update and setting Restore point disk usage to 0.8% = 4GB (according to MS math) my page file is now 8.9 GB. So this leads me to the...

The documentation says "Point‑in‑time restore is now generally available on Windows 11 Client PCs on versions 24H2 and later." My WIn11 Pro is 25H2 Build 26200.8655 and Windows Update says I am up to date. But this feature is not shown in Settings/System/Recovery. Is that because this feature is...

OK - here's the results of another test I did... I ran SirCleaner and it cleaned up 1 GB of stuff. I have the free version so I know there is more cleanable stuff out their, which is why I follow up SIrCleaner with a run of Wise Disk Cleaner. Wise found 85 more MB of stuff to clean. But before...

Very interesting - Fluent and SIrCleaner found the same amount of stuff to delete - but with a different mix of files: So what to do? I guess the best approach would be to run one of them followed by the other. But what about the wicked Installer directory? Is there another way to clean...

Sounds like a useful piece of software - but I couldn't get past Defender saying the installer was a horrible piece of software and prevented it from running.

I didn't know BleachBit had a cleaner - like Hillary I thought it just wiped drives clean. But I figured why not give it a try. So I did. I left all the options on except for software I don't have, and it cleaned up something like 850 MB of stuff. Then I ran SirCleaner which I have been using...

Need I say more?

Thanks - I see we get yet another version of C++. Sigh!

I just ran a test of Sparkle cleanup after using my PC all day for various things. I found 4 problems with it: 1. It got hung up saying it was preparing a cleanup report 2. It didn't clean almost 2 GB that SirCLeaner found and cleaned 3. It said I had no Restore points when in fact I had 1 It...
