i been using CC cleaner since like windows xp days.. but recently the new cc cleaner messed up my windows
my audio drivers got broken and corrupted without any reason when i cleaned the pc with cc cleaner.

does anyone know an alternative software for cleaning junk files?

 

hibit uninstaller, bleachbit is all you need

 

I use https://github.com/builtbybel/CleanmgrPlus and https://www.bleachbit.org/

In BleachBit preferences, enable the "Download and update cleaners from community (winapp2.ini)"

For Google Chrome, do not enable LOGS or it will conflict with some extensions.

And do not enable "Update uninstallers".


BleachBit can be too destructive(specially for Internet Browsers) and may clean too much!
So, better first create a System Image.

- Get this https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sergei_strelecs_winpe.html
- Create a bootable USB flash drive.
- Boot to the USB flash drive
- Go to Programs WinPE>BACKUP AND RESTORE>Macrium Reflect 10

- Create an image of your current bootable drive.
(will need a big enough destination drive to save the image)

 

I dunno what you're trying to do here, but for those moments when I just want to clear temp files and browser caches without having to do it manually I reach for Wise Disk Cleaner. Simple enough for me.

That's because any of the NEW versions of CC are garbage/mal ware. I have been using CC for years and I still do - EXCEPT the updating and internet access for any/all parts of CC are turned off/denied. Do not run any version of CC that isn't "© Piriform Software LTD".

I have found that v5.5 is the oldest version that will run properly on Win10. Older than that you get win compatibility garbage preventing it from running. v5.5 is Piriform and I run it on all my machines WITHOUT ISSUE. Do NOT use any version newer than v5.5. Just make certain - NO UPDATING, and NO NETWORK ACCESS for it period. Also I would recommend NOT using the "REG Cleaner" on any of these "cleaners". All I have ever used CC for since I been using it is for the Secure Erase, The Start up editor, and the programmed cleanup wherein you assign areas for it to remove junk buildup that other programs leave piled up. That' s it. Turn everything else in the settings OFF. You don't need it.

 

Thanks, gonna give it a spin!
