The best CCleaner replacement software

The article will introduce in order from as much to as little as the CCleaner replacement software, and all-in-one tools for those who like to add more features.

CCleaner has long been a choice for many people when it comes to Windows system cleaning software, not only that, but it gradually extends to both macOS and Android. But since the acquisition of security giant Avast last year, CCleaner has led many people to suspect and turn away.

From increasing capacity (6MB in 2016 to about 15MB this year) to sticking with malicious code, lots of ads and offers, collecting user computer data . CCleaner makes many users give up tools they still trust for a long time.

The latest CCleaner v5.44 has been updated to fix issues with many promises from developers, but if you still have a heart to turn around, these are CCleaner alternatives.

Although you can use Windows' built-in Disk Cleanup tool, the same external CCleaner software always brings ease of system cleaning, free memory, and additional tools such as management applications running with the system .

The article will introduce in order from as much to as little as the CCleaner replacement software, and all-in-one tools for those who like to add more features.

The CCleaner replacement software

Wise Disk Cleaner

Common file cleaning software (temp file, browsing history .) and Advanced (scan the drive for special files). Combining both, you can find lots of files to delete. Despite the fragmentation feature, junk file scanning is still the main feature of this software.

If you want an all-in-one utility, Wise Care 365 will have additional features.

Clean Master

Easy to use interface. The display options are easy to see, junk files are very similar to Windows File Explorer. The free version has a spyware scanner and accelerates the computer like Advanced SystemCare (to be discussed later), the $ 30 Pro version has file recovery and driver management capabilities.

System Ninja

The tool is simpler than Wise Disk Cleaner and Clean Master but not so simple as Bleachbit or KCleaner. System Ninja also has some additional tools such as finding duplicate files, viewing system information, but basically the main feature is finding junk files, having a nice interface, finding more files than Bleachbit and KCleaner.

System Ninja has a nice interface but not many features

Bleachbit

The main tool is scanning junk data, but not as much as other tools, but anyone who likes a simple interface and open source tool will like Bleachbit.

KCleaner

The interface is not as simple as Bleachbit but quite old, must choose advanced mode to analyze the system. The button to check the drive or delete the file will lead to other utilities that users have to download and install separately.

The all-in-one tool is capable of cleaning up the system

Advanced SystemCare (ASC)

IObit offers lots of introductory popups, offers to register during the installation process, but the software has a modern interface and many features. When testing, the number of junk files found by default is similar to CCleaner but after all, CCleaner still finds more. (The reason is that CCleaner chooses to delete the file in C: WindowsLiveKernelReports that the ASC cannot do, as is most of the other software).

Another plus is the ability to manage CPU / RAM usage independently on a computer, an integrated tool that "prevents malware from changing DNS settings" and quickly selects to switch between DNS providers (Google, Verizon , OpenDNS, Comodo, DNS Advantage).

Although some other features such as scanning the drive need to install a removable utility (specifically, Driver Booster), but this tool is also automatically downloaded, installed, opened on the same ASC window, acts as a training place middle of IObit's tools.

Glary Utilities

Glary's Dick Cleaner has a CCleaner-like interface in the way information is displayed but the window is fixed, can't be opened as usual. Additional tools also have an estimate of the time to boot Windows. The way to display basic features is similar to CCleaner (there is no editing menu, duplicate file finder, malware scan).

Some other tools are available: Puran (useful but old), Ashampoo WinOptimizer (ineffective), JetClean (not updated for many years), System Cleaner (also old), Privazer (few options for files) System information with more web files), Uncleaner (very basic), System Mechanic (automatically scans on startup, email for activation).
