Introduction


CCleaner is a tool that is widely recommended to clean your PC online and offline. This is a very popular application for erasing temporary files and erasing private data. This tool hides a variety of features, from refined options to tweak the cleaning process to complete disk erase tools.

CCleaner is easy to use for beginners. You only have to launch it and click on the Run Cleaner button. Yet you can do a lot more than that with Ccleaner.

CCleaner is a software able to analyse your system in order to clean it but also to optimize it. It can clean up unnecessary files, settings and registry entries for web browsers and many applications installed on your system, as well as Windows features.
