Maintener

It's almost common knowledge that, with time, junk files and other registry related entries can and may slow down your computer. Happily, there's a plethora of system cleaners out there, each more interesting than the other.

Maintener is one such tool, and it offers you a quick and stress-free way of cleaning registry issues, removing junk files, and handling startup programs. It brings to the table a duplicate file finder and cleaner, but only if you opt for the paid version.

Other than that, we have a lightweight and novice-accessible tool of this sort on our hands. It can be deployed on your computer's system with the minimum amount of effort thanks to a typical installer, provided that .NET Framework 4.5 or newer is present, of course.

Working with the app is a fairly straightforward affair, with you only having to choose the required sections and to click the appropriate scan buttons.

The Junk Files section is probably the most complex of the lot as it allows you to declutter your PC by removing all sorts of temporary files, memory dumps, thumbnail caches, log files, as well as other types of junk files usually associated with browsers like Internet cache, history, cookies, and other login data.

The other two sections available in the unregistered version, Clean Registry, and Startup Manager are even simpler, with you only having to select any result in order to remove it from the associated list. Lastly, the self-explanatory Duplicated Files feature provides you with the possibility of locating dupes based on their file type and even their size.

Taking everything into account, Maintener is a user-friendly tool that shouldn't have problems proving its usefulness if you choose to give it a shot. It packs enough tools to make it worthwhile, it's lightweight, it's fast, and it's quite accessible for even the most inexperienced users.
