And when I asked WIndows to clean up the disk and the system files it still never saw the wasted space.

I had Windows Update recently eat up 80GB of space on a 120GB SSD with a SINGLE UPDATE that re-downloaded thousands of times. It doesn't matter what 'features' Microsoft claims to have added, the bottom line is they don't clean up their own mess, no matter what settings you change it just doesn't happen. but I prefer to just clean out temps manually, or set the browsers/softwareВ to automatically self-purge their own temp files as applicable. That's about all I've ever had any use for CCleaner to do, which is ok. It has no frame of reference for how it determines what are useful registry entries and what is not beyond what the actual entries state to my knowledge.ДЄs for temporary file cleaning, CCleaner can clean up temp files for multiple browsers, while Windows will only allow automatic temp file cleansing of it's own software (IE/Edge), while other browsers must of course be configured individually to clean out their own caches since Microsoft didn't make the software (still don't see how that' could beВ Microsoft's issue to fix), and the temp folder(s) for downloads and software installations are intentionally not cleaned out so that technicians and administrators can troubleshoot and repair when issues arise. CCleaner really has no clue past what it can decipher based upon the quality of the registry entry. I know better than to have ever trusted CCleaner with registry repair, because Windows at least knows what is part of Windows. it's not like we are short on storage space, and it's *ALWAYS* easier to diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair with more information than less (albeit not necessarily faster). Some temporary files are kept forever unless we remove them because. Registry errors due to installations/uninstallations is not Microsoft's fault, but the fault of the designers of the program(s) that created and failed to remove the registry values.

Then I'd have no need for utilities like these.ДЄdministrators asked Microsoft not to delete temporary stuff automatically, but give us an option to turn that ability on and off, which has been there for over 15 years. Take the example of Linux, put all temporary files on a temporary partition that is cleared on boot. It's really a shame that the primary purpose of tools like CCleaner is because Microsoft after more than 30 years still cannot make Windows clean up it's own mess, that's what it boils down too here.

I will continue to use it in portable form as I always have.
