I really wouldn’t like to pre-judge, I haven’t tried cCleaner for millions of years! Maybe I should, but I have so many cleaning apps for the Mac, including the very full-featured Cocktail, CleanMyMac, to name but two. It forces you to wonder why we bother wasting all that space when one app would probably have done the trick anyway. But to be honest, the best and most useful app I have on the Mac for cleaning up is a little app called “TrashMe” TrashMe, (pronounced “Trash, Me”) allows you to remove an app and, once you do, it offers to remove all files associated with that applications, such as preference files etc. Great for when you want to try something, but decide it isn’t for you. All those messy preference files that ordinarily get left behind when you remove an app from your system, it’s amazing.
I’m not sure whether such a thing exists for Windows, but it really would be useful if so. TrashMe has saved me loads of drive space, and loads of time. ======================================== My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: <gor...@mac-access.net <mailto:gor...@mac-access.net>> Accessibility & Information Technology Support Specialist.

I ran C Cleaner on my Mobile yesterday, after running it 171MB of Cache was freed, maybe the operating system or Samsung Galaxy Smart Manager might have done much the same thing? Not exactly sure. I bought C Cleaner for Android given mainly due to the excellent run I've had with C Cleaner on my Mac and Windows machines.
