I am looking for a CCleaner alternative. Not sure what to go with. I want something portable. I hate installing for a 1 time use.

My opinion is to let windows manage windows.

Run disk cleanup under settings > system > storage > temporary files If you want to do some cleaning up.

For cleaning (once a month, if not two or more - don't like to stress my SSD that often), i use - PrivaZer, the Portable Version: Download - PrivaZer And the storage cleaner included with Windows - after every Windows Update.

FluentCleaner
Belim: I built my own take on a cleaner, inspired by the old CCleaner from back in the 2006 days. Just adapted to how things should work today. Modern (built with WinUI 3), minimal and focused on actually cleaning what matters (without all the usual nonsense).

CCleaner without the crap, finally.
FluentCleaner is a modern Windows cleanup tool built with WinUI3 and powered by the winapp2.ini ecosystem.
