CleanAfterMe

CleanAfterMe is a program that can help you improve the performance of your computer by deleting any unnecessary junk files or invalid registry entries.

This is a portable software, so installing CleanAfterMe is not necessary. It means that you can place the tool on a removable device (like a USB flash drive), plug it into any computer and directly run its executable file.

What's more important is that your Windows registry keys will not be changed in any way.

The interface of CleanAfterMe is based on a standard window in which you can enable the tool to look into items revolving Windows Explorer (e.g. recent folder, UserAssist, the MUICache list, Recycle Bin, clipboard, event log, last RegEdit key).

But the program can also look into web browsers (e.g. temporary Internet files, cookies, history, last 20 typed URLs, form history) and other Microsoft applications (e.g. Word temporary folder, Acrobat Reader, Outlook 2003 temporary folder).

You can enable CleanAfterMe to remember the last settings, view the cleaning report, select the deleting method (e.g. simple delete only), as well as enable the option to ask you before deleting your temporary folder.

The simplistic program requires a very low amount of system resources, quickly finishes a task and didn't freeze, crash or display errors during our tests. On the other hand, there is no help file available. Also, CleanAfterMe doesn't actually perform a scanning job on the computer to show you results but directly deletes the files in the categories you select. We recommend CleanAfterMe with reservations.
