Cleanmypc - the Tool That Takes Care of All PC Maintenance Tasks

Multi Uninstaller

This is an interesting feature of CleanMyPC, Multi Uninstaller allows users to remove some applications from the computer at the same time. Not only does it delete the application, it also deletes the files associated with it so you don't have to worry about anything left.

To delete the application, simply tick the box next to each program and select Uninstall at the end after selecting it. When viewing the list, you will see the Broken red icon if the application still has data that has not been deleted. Applications downloaded from Microsoft Store will have a blue Windows icon and if you can't find the app you want to delete you can use the search bar at the bottom right.

Hibernation

Hibernation is one of the power options in Windows. It saves your current session to the hard drive, then shuts down the computer. This feature is not considered a computer maintenance, but it helps users easily choose a session after a long time.

Although this mode is very useful for some people, it takes up quite a bit of space. If you don't use hibernation, you can use this space for other purposes. Just click the Turn off option to disable hibernation and get a few GB back. If you want, you can still activate it again.

This tab will check the extensions in each browser you use. It helps manage the extensions installed and deletes the extension automatically installed in the browser. One thing to note is that it does not list Chrome extensions, so you will have to manage these extensions manually.

Autorun

Programs that start with the system are very convenient, but many programs slow down the computer. Because most programs will automatically set up to run on the same system, you should check this list and just let the applications really needed.

On the Autorun tab, you can see all programs running in the system. Each program has manufacturer information and location to help you locate it easily. Just slide the button to Off to turn off the startup program. Keep an eye on your slow startup programs.

Shredder

CleanMyPC's final feature is Shredder, which helps you safely delete sensitive files so no one can restore them.

As you know, if you just click Delete , the deleted files will be moved to Recycle Bin and not deleted completely. If you use data recovery tools, you can easily retrieve these deleted files.

But with CleanMyPC, when you click Choose Folder or Choose Files and browse to the data you want to delete and confirm, the application will cancel this file and cannot recover it. Click on the Adjust security level at the bottom right and choose to have Shredder overwrite the file with junk data one, two or three times.

Options and Pro version

Click the Options tab at the top of CleanMyPC to configure the settings. On the General tab, use the Manage Ignore List option to specify the item you want the software to ignore. In the Automatic Agents section, you can configure some automatic options such as drag and drop support for Shredder. If you want to receive fewer alerts, you can check the Notifications tab and disable any notifications you don't want to see.

To have access to all the features in CleanMyPC, you must purchase the activation license by clicking the Activate button at the top right to access the purchase page or enter the software key if purchased. A CleanMyPc license costs $ 39.95.
