I've since been talking to others regarding C Cleaner for Android.
It seems that the automated functions of C Cleaner for Android are
disabled when using Android V 6.0 or above and I think I can understand
why, don't want to cause unnecessary damage., perhaps that's a safety
feature of 6.0.
As far as C Cleaner goes on my Windows PC? I did a fair amount of
customisation with the software when I installed it so I know exactly
what C Cleaner will delete and what it won't.
In any case I don't keep a backup of my Windows Desktop PC just for the
hell of keeping one <smile>.

Checking my database, I find that I have actually bought Cleaner
Network Edition a while back, used it but forgotten about it. Maybe
worth shot. CleanMyMac 3.0 is pretty good, although I don’t trust its
“File Removal” mechanism at all. I have no desire to lose some of
those files it wants to remove and I had to do a lot of customisation
on the thing before I dared let it loose on my main system. Yes, I
dare to let it loose on my test system because that is precisely why
that system is there, for testing of various pieces of software,
including some from Apple themselves.
I’m certainly not going to prejudge, as I said earlier in this thread.
I’ve actually got a Windows system at the moment which is resisting
all my attempts to reinstall. I’ve done it so often over the last few
days that I’ve almost learned how to use the Windows 10 graphical
installer interface off by heart and without assistance. But I do
need toaddress that point properly shortly as I have no intention of
allowing a brand new system which I chose quite deliberately because
of its high technical specifications in view of the applications that
I bought it for. of course, if I could get at the recovery partition
it would be easy as 1, 2, 3. But even with visual help there seems to
be no way to access that partition from anywhere. Usually there’s
some kind of BIOS prompt that tells you briefly to press a key to
enter the recovery phase. But not on this system it seems. Although
it sits there with the manufacturers’ logo on it for about 30 seconds,
it doesn’t give me any hint as to how the hell you access the
recovery. The printed documentation is pretty much a waste of paper.
All it tells you is how to plug it in and turn on the power! But I’m
getting off the point.
You know, some of these so-called system utilities, especially for
Windows but also other platforms as well, have been proven to do
virtually, or completely nothing. They’re just pretty graphical
utilities which. for want of a better word, “con” the user into
thinking that when they click on the “Fix Problems” or whatever icon,
the utility just enters a loop whereby it goes and paints pretty
pictures, but that’s all.
I’m not in a position to comment regarding specific apps. But that
information came directly from somebody I know at Microsoft and also
from an independent test person. The way he tested the utilities was
to deliberately corrupt his system and then see if the utilities
themselves find and fix the problems. Some of them did diagnose the
problems. but from what I’m given to understand, not many of them
actually did take any remedial action at all.
So, I guess that what I am advocating is make sure your money’s going
on the right utilities. I.E., test as thoroughly as you’re able too
before putting your hands into your pockets.

The unfortunate fact is that some Apps do certain jobs better than
others.
C Cleaner on the windows PC is amongst the best out there for most
cleaning and maintenance jobs given its accessibility and
customisation but for registry cleaning? Well i have my doubts.
I used an App called Regservo for Windows and it detected 1,500
registry problems on my Windows Desktop machine.
Now I honestly don’t know just how many registry problems the registry
of the machine had but I do know I did have some nagging issues that
just wouldn’t go away and I couldn’t find fixes for.
I ran C Cleaner every day as part of the maintenance for the Desktop
machine and it seemed to have done a reasonable job though those
annoyances and irritations in the running of the system were still
evident.
I ran Regservo and much of the rotten behaviour I was experiencing
with the Desktop machine has gone so go Figure <smile>.
I guess if something works for you then use it but that doesn’t mean
there may be something else out out there which can do a better job.
I have no complaints, I was using C Cleaner Pro which cost $20 for the
licence. Regservo has a yearly subscription licence for $39 which
includes all updates and upgrades to the products.
Regservo has quite a few more tools which can be used including the
ability to fix Windows system files which may become corrupted, online
support for those times when you run into Windows Errors that need
attention etc.
The interface of Regservo is reasonably accessible though I had to
label a few buttons in the Interface.
Regarding the Mac? I’ve always used Cocktail in the main and I haven’t
really used C Cleaner all that much but I do know that the App is
accessible enough and easy enough for most people to use.
It appeared to me at least that the Mac version of C Cleaner wasn’t
getting as much attention as the Windows version was.

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.

Indeed, caution is the word these days.
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.

I am not saying that I necessarily agree with the comment which
manufacturers and developers made, and yes, it was their comment,
not mine. As it happens I run Vipre Carbonate on all my Android
devices. Maybe it is needed, maybe it isn’t needed. But I see no
harm in airing on the side of portion.

Okay so given what you’ve said here’s the question, why then do
Samsung Galaxy devices for example ship with the Smart manage utility?
As for Anti Virus/Security utilities? Yep no requirement for those
however Android is like Mac, Windows or everything else where say
emails with infected or malicious attachments can be opened, the
communications to and from your device can be intercepted via public
Wi-Fi hotspots and so on.

According to Samsung and LG and Google, there’s no advantage in
thee utilities. Actually, they also claim that there is absolutely
no requirement for antivirus software on Android. So I guess it
comes down to who you opt to believe, the AV/Cleaner developers, or
the manufacturers of the OS. I don’t know because I personally
have never encountered a situation where my AV software on Android
even bothered to claim something was infected. So I have to admit
that I’m starting to wonder just why I bothered. ;-)

Hi!
I don’t think my email on this subject got sent for some strange
reason the first time so I’ll have another go.
Users of Windows and Mac machines may have heard of a clever
utility called Cleaner which cleans the hard drive, the registry
and comes with some handy repair tools.
Cleaner is now available for Android as an Android App which
performs many cleaning and maintenance functions on an Android
device, the App can be downloaded from Google Play or you can find
out more information at http://www.ccleaner.com
<http://www.ccleaner.com/>
Cleaner for Android comes in 2 versions, standard and Professional
and is very accessible.
