Hi Severin

I've had a few clients that have used it, some with success, others with a
bad run with it deleting wanted files and making it hard to fix.
So mileage does seem to vary.

As long as you know what you're getting into, and have good backups before
you start then can be useful.
If you just click Go and let it do it thing, then there can be some
problems.
Personally myself I've never used it, but just going on what I've heard back
about.

Others may agree or disagree.

Hope that helps.

Kind regards
Daniel
