CCleaner Portable

Installing and uninstalling multiple applications or games and using various programs leave traces on the system and might make the PC too cluttered to run at top performance. Periodical maintenance operations are mandatory to make sure the system’s health is at its best.

One of the most popular system cleanup and optimization tools out there is CCleaner, which also comes with an install-free edition called CCleaner Portable.   The portable edition of CCleaner requires no setup, and the application can be launched directly from the downloaded archive. Being portable, this edition can be used on the go directly from a removable drive, with no leftovers and footprints on the host system.

CCleaner Portable can assess the health of the local system and recommend fixes and tweaks to make the PC run faster. You can still use the computer while it is being analyzed by CCleaner Portable.

In a short period of time, found issues are displayed and recommendations are being unfolded by CCleaner Portable. The application targets privacy-related problems and storage-related issues, suggesting immediate actions to remove trackers and clean up junk files.

With CCleaner Portable, you can delete cookies and records of visited sites, temporary Internet files, browser history and downloads. The Recycle Bin is emptied, and unnecessary app and system files are being erased.

If you feel more comfortable choosing what to delete and what to keep, know that custom cleanup is also possible, both for the Windows systems, browsers and other applications.

Since outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues, hardware malfunctions and security faults, CCleaner Portable also comes with an integrated driver updater. The application detects any out-of-date drivers and suggests downloading the genuine new versions.

Thanks to the registry cleaner in CCleaner Portable, invalid registry entries and other registry-related issues are carefully addressed.

But the CCleaner toolbox is much more generous: it also comes with a built-in uninstaller, a software updater, a startup manager and a system restore tool. Moreover, it can save storage space thanks to the disk analyzer and the duplicate finder.

Like its installer edition, CCleaner Portable allows you to create cleaning schedules and allows smart cleaning, meaning it can set up cleaning rules to make sure the system is uncluttered.

The array of tools it brings to the table turns it into this all-in-one system cleanup and optimization suite that can save you the time needed to carry out all these tasks using different applications.
