Portable Wise Disk Cleaner

A big part of maintaining peak operating performance on your Windows machine lies in handling the waste that normally accumulates after use. Think of it as taking out the trash — the unneeded, temporary, and cache files will only pile up over time, and not handling their disposal translates to a lower performance across the board.

Luckily, options to manage this duty do exist. Oftentimes it's just as easy as pressing a button to remedy the issue. Hence, it's easy to understand why an app like Portable Wise Disk Cleaner is relevant — it cleans, slims down, and defrags your drives, all in the name of performance.

As mentioned prior, it's easy to recommend such an app. The operation is easy to perform, and the added value it brings far outweighs the effort: you click "Clean" and it's all done in less than a minute.

The application has several tools to help your machine perform. The "Common Cleaner" tab can help you clean temp files from your Windows system, as well as the cache and cookies stored by your browser. This is doubly beneficial — it cleans your system, ridding you of unnecessary files, and also protects your privacy on the net.

Aside from the "Common Cleaner" capability, there's also the "Advanced Cleaner" menu — this finds the non-essential temp files on your machine and cleans them.

"Slimming System" is an option that goes deeper, analyzing Windows files and giving you a suggestion based on their relevance. In our case, Wise Disk Cleaner suggested that we should dispense with the Windows patch installers, claiming that they're safe to remove after a successful update.

"Disk Defrag" is concerned with the state of your hard drive. When you store data on your system, some of it will be memorized in a more tangled manner than it should. The app looks through all of that to correct it: defragmenting your drive can noticeably improve your performance.

Wise Disk Cleaner is worth the try. It's got a user-friendly interface, so it's easy to pick up, and it just does what it's supposed to do: it cleans your disk, wisely. Since this is a portable version, you can even run it from your external drive, and it leaves no traces behind.
