CCleaner ( Crap Cleaner) mini how to

From the website :
"CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a freeware system optimization tool. That removes unused and temporary files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster, more efficiently and giving you more hard disk space. The best part is that it's fast! (normally taking less that a second to run) and Free. :) "


CCleaner is one of my favorite tools for windows xp now. It's a great little program to clear unneeded space from your harddrive(s). This is a mini how-to for it.
  1. Launch the program from the start menu, desktop, or right clicking the recycle bin.
  2. Click on "Options" on the left
  3. Here you can choose your method of deletion. I personally just use the normal mode, but if you're paranoid feel free to use the DoD/NSA secure deletion. They take longer to delete your files but will make it harder for someone to recover deleted files.
  4. Click on "Cookies". Select any cookies you don't want deleted and click the ">" button to move them to the right column. I usually keep the cookies for some forums and other sites I want to stay logged in.
  5. Also you can click "Custom" and add a folder to be deleted everytime CCleaner is run. If you have a program that saves a cache or temporary files somewhere that isn't already detected by CCleaner then this is the place to add it.
  6. Now click on "Cleaner" and you should be back to the main screen.
  7. Go through the checklist here, and then click the Applications tab. Check everything that you want to be deleted. About the only thing I have unchecked is my browser history and saved forms.
  8. Make sure Firefox is closed, then click "Run Cleaner"
  9. After it's done you'll get something similiar to below (but with more results if you've never run this before)
If anyone has any questions, let me know.

After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me
when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the
exact same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method
you are able to remove me from that service? Thank you!
