Disk Cleaner (Sanitizer)
Scans and cleans junk files on your PC (temp files, browser cache, recycle bin, privacy traces); a separate mode finds and removes duplicate (identical) files in a folder. Simple and clear.
What it does
Use this to free up disk space, clear accumulated junk, wipe browser cache and recent-use traces for privacy, or find and remove duplicate copies of the same file in a folder.
How to use
The tool has two modes: System junk and Duplicate files.
System junk
- Press Scan; the tool scans the categories.
- Results are listed per category (Temporary files, Browser cache, Recycle Bin, Recent items and traces, Browser cookies, Needs caution).
- Safe categories are checked by default; the "needs caution" ones (Windows.old, logs) are checked manually.
- Press Clean selected; it reports how much space was freed.
Duplicate files
- Pick a folder and scan it.
- Files with identical content (compared by hash) are listed in groups.
- In each group the first file is kept and the copies are marked for deletion.
- Press Delete selected to remove the extras and free space.
Examples
Free up space fast: System junk mode, Scan, safe categories selected, Clean selected.
Privacy cleanup: System junk mode, select "Browser cache" and "Recent items and traces" and clean them.
Find copies in a backup pile: Duplicate files mode, scan the backup folder, keep one from each group and delete the rest.
Things to watch
- The "needs caution" categories (Windows.old, old logs) are off by default; be sure of what you delete.
- For duplicates, keep at least one from each group; the tool keeps the first automatically.
- Deletion is permanent; if unsure, review the list first.
