Which "File Cleaner" do you use?

[Wolfmight]

Which ones?
edit: 2nd to last choice should read: I clean files manually half the time

also: if your an advanced user and have never used Tree Size Free or Professional and/or jv16 Power Tools 2006, I highly recommend you try them. They are the two godly hands that can truly manage many aspects of XP. TreeSize Professional gives you an entire layout of your file statistics. It has really helped me gain tons of free space by deleting old crap I forgot was even stored on my drive. You'll be suprised with what you find.

Besides that, CCleaner is also very handy. Make sure you uncheck the "Clear Prefetch" option though. All-in-All, CCleaner is also another godly program from XP file cleaning.

i run ccleaner once and awhile. i usually clear my stuff manually though.

i've had treesize for awhile. it's a nifty program, but i never really looked at it as being useful in the 'file-cleaning' dept. i was just looking for something that would summarize all my folders' sizes nicely, and it works grand for that.

I have an awesome file cleaner......it's called the "delete" key. :happy:

TreeSize really helps me out, because I edit tons of videos on here in AVI format. I always find 1-3 of them hideing somewhere without me needing them anymore.

File Cleaner, as in cleaning up (deleting) useless files that take up space.

XP's disk cleanup, easy and simple, guess that makes me a noob though.... :P

I used to have to format my hard drive every 3 months or so but since I started using BCWipe to delete files instead of send them to free space heaven, and Tuneup Utilities to clean the registry after uninstalls, I can go a couple years before my system shows signs of slowing down. I also use CCleaner for the logs and tracks. BCWipe can be set to the old 7 pass wipe but I never need that, one pass is sufficient to keep from dumping files into the freespace of the drive.
