CleanTree

Even if you don't save files on your computer on purpose, long-term surfing on the Internet and other activities can leave a bunch of temporary files lying around which can put quite the strain on performance. In this regard, CleanTree wants to help you clean temp directories, or any other folder according to your configuration.

Once the application is safely deployed on your computer, you can run it to see what it's all about. In terms of visuals, features are wrapped around a classic window frame, which doesn't pose any accommodation problems. A couple of panels let you view configuration files, as well as the log window which updates in real time.

On the bright side of things, there's a default configuration file which can take care of most common types of files and items which end up in temp folders. It's either possible to run this one, edit it, or create a new one from scratch. What's more, the application allows you to create multiple definitions, save, and even use more at a time.

Every configuration is fitted with one or more deletion parameters. Choosing to create one brings up a new window with several requirement fields. A new name needs to be added for easy identification, as well as the folder which is put under the scope. There's the option to have all files in the selected folder removed.

If you don't want a blind clean operation, a couple of fields are used to write file extensions to target, as well as exceptions. The application can include subfolders in the clean operation, delete empty folders, and remove files even if fitted with the read-only attribute. Be careful what you remove because there's no undo operation.

Bottom line is that files end up on your computer after every activity, even if they take up little space. CleanTree is sure to come in handy when your computer starts having delayed response time, refreshing its temporary storage folders for faster, better navigation offline and online.
