Folder Cleaner

Folder Cleaner is a software tool which can be used in order to aid individuals in cleaning junk files from a specified directory, partition and a connected external data device.

The installation process can be bypasses, as this utility is portable. As a consequence, unlike installers, it is not going to add files or other items to the hard drive or the Windows registry without your permission, and it is not going to leave any traces behind after its removal.

Most importantly, you can run Folder Cleaner on any computer you have been granted access to, on the fly, by simply placing the program files to a removable storage device, such as a USB flash drive.

The interface you are met with encompasses a plain and simple build. It is comprised of a menu bar, a few buttons and a panel in which to display all selected directories, along with path, last cleaned date and comments (if any). It is suitable to all types of users, from beginners to highly experienced people.

This software application enables you to manually add a directory which to analyze, as well as use a search function. It is possible to bring up folder properties with a click of the button, explore the contents using Windows File Explorer and refresh the list.

Aside from that, you can set the program up to exclude program files (e.g. EXE, COM), libraries (DLL, LIB), items without extensions and custom files. Ongoing can be saved to the hard drive in a FCL format, so that you can continue them at a later date.

To sum up, Folder Cleaner is a pretty decent piece of software when it comes to cleaning the contents of your hard drive from junk files. The response time is good, the interface is friendly, although it is not pretty appealing. Nevertheless, you should know that the process failed to remove files repeatedly and the language usage is pretty bad all throughout the application, which might lead to some confusion.
