I'm trying to decide which file system cleaner to get, what does everybody think is best.
I think this is the best place. I think cleaner should be considered separately from protection. Rather the cleaner may try to send something.
I don't think it does yet.@roger_m I like and have used Wise. Hey roger, does Wise clean Edge Chromium now?
The registry cleaner in Wise Care 365 and Wise Registry Cleaner, sometimes will want to delete valid registry keys (so will CCleaner), which can cause problems. Wise Disk Cleaner is only a junk cleaner, it doesn't have the registry cleaner or tuneup features of Wise Care.I tried Wise for a few months... I didn't like the amount of unnecessary options it had (and the way it always wanted to optimize every single thing - even those i didn't want, requiring me to whitelist each of them). And i experienced some problems with a gigabyte app after installing Wisecare (despite idk it was the responsible).

Yes, i tried the Wise Care version... I didn't know about the Disk cleaner option. Ty!
Absolutely..Guaranteed to bork your system or applications...I am very wary of reg cleaners,,,from personal experienceAvoid using the Advanced Cleaning and Slimming System if you do not understand them.
The Advanced cleaning, is just a more thorough disk cleanup. Neither Advanced Disk Cleaning or System Slimming, modify the registry.Absolutely..Guaranteed to bork your system or applications...I am very wary of reg cleaners,,,from personal experience
I used Wise 365 & the slimming option & I lost 20 pounds instant, I look much better when I look in the mirror, I think Wise excellent & waiting for New Edge option, also also Cyrobo Clean Space is first class too.The choices you present are dependent on the type of user you are, what installed apps you have, etc.
I use built-in + BleachBit + browsers' built-in at the moment since I'm keeping things very simple on my machine. Like @roger_m I like and have used Wise. Hey roger, does Wise clean Edge Chromium now?
There is a new version 3.0 of BleachBit out currently, I'm using that as my regular cleaner . backed up by using Wise care less often. They work well together, but I sometimes find some temp files etc on my PCs after using both.
I also delete all lang files (default English is enough) and CCleaner.exe on a 64bit system.I use CCleaner with CCEnhancer (unofficial add-on) that enables support for more programs.
CCleaner used to be just a simple and reliable cleaner but has been adding extra features or trying to bundle software that I don't need.
Some things I do:
- I usually get the slim installer from the builds page instead of the main page. The portable installer is also on that page if you prefer that version.
- Block CCleaner.exe and CCleaner64.exe from phoning home in Windows firewall.
- Delete CCUpdate.exe which is the emergency updater for the program. It has the tendency to trip Windows Controlled Folder Access feature so I deleted the updater to stop getting notifications that it was blocked. I use SUMo (Software Update Monitor) to keep my programs up to date anyways so I don't need the updater from CCleaner.
- Disable any monitoring in the Monitoring tab under settings. I don't need it or want it running in the background.
I agree with your post and in particular with these highlighted points that are well worth taking note of.
