Complete Cleanup

Complete Cleanup is a lightweight software solution that can help improve the performance of your computer by removing unnecessary files. It can be handled by first-time and advanced users alike.

During the first run of the app, you may select a drive to be scanned; Complete Cleanup looks into cookies, cache, history from your browsers, as well as ActiveX and Java Applets, dump files, temporary folders and data, the recent documents list, Recycle Bin, Windows media cache, and AOL tracks.

You can create a list of hand-picked files and folders, in order to submit it to the cleaning procedure.

On top of that, Complete Cleanup allows you to remove duplicate files or Flash cookies, locate missing media files, clear search engines and web browser passwords, remove entries of applications which automatically run at system startup, scan for spyware, and clean up locked files.

From the 'Settings' screen, you can pick the drive to be automatically scanned at program startup, enable wiping mode so you can permanently delete items from your computer, disable confirmation boxes from popping up, and make the app load the entire temporary folder. It is also possible to schedule an automatic cleaning operation, create a list of protected Internet Explorer cookies, as well as switch to another skin for the UI.

The program uses a very low amount of CPU and system memory, has a good response time, and quickly finishes a scanning and cleaning job. We have not come across any problems during our testing; Complete Cleanup did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs. There's also a help file available. On the other hand, Complete Cleanup's interface needs some improvements in the visual department. No recent updates have been made to the app.
