System CleanupKeep your computer clean, fast and secure

Summary

Find and remove temporary, cache, history, and backup files on all your local and network drives. System Cleanup protects recently used files. Drives and folders can be manually added to an exclusion list to protect files and improve disk read speed. System Cleanup has been renewed for Windows 10 and 11, with new cleanup actions for web browser caches, crash dumps, developer tools (Visual Studio, Store app packages, NuGet, npm, pip, Yarn) and apps such as Microsoft Teams, Visual Studio Code, Slack and Discord.

• More than 50 cleanup actions, in groups: temporary files, browsers, applications, development, logs and error reports, Windows and recently used lists and history. Only the actions that apply to your computer are shown.
• An icon per action shows whether there is something to clean up, and the details show the files found.
• Built-in protection: recently used files, OneDrive, Program Files and ProgramData are left alone, and the cache of a running program is skipped.
• Some actions need administrator rights (File > Restart as administrator).
• The startup parameter /Auto cleans up automatically and closes.

Everything about using System Cleanup is in the manual.

Installation

If necessary, you will be prompted to install the required .NET Desktop Runtime when you launch the app. When you launch a newly released version, Windows may display a warning. If you see the message "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting." you can click "More info" and then "Run anyway". Alternatively, open the properties of the .exe file and select the "Unblock" checkbox. Read more...
