Cleaning up my H/D

What is the best program to do this for me, to getr rid of dead links and files etc?

Ta.

ccleaner is good.
registry cleaners are also important.

Check my out everything guide and look at the cleanup section.

btw, this is software not hardware.

moved to its proper place ;)

Definetly ccleaner - its free good and gets updated often (so keep updating it)
http://www.ccleaner.com/
theres a thread in software world about this program - search

Imo cc is worthless. DustBuster is the king of junk file removers.

Don't know about DustBuster,but I just used crapcleaner and it freed up 268.9MB of space :01:

To do a complete cleaning of your HD and erase deleted files use eraser.

I like all of the above , but find myself using System mechanic more and more.
Just because I like an all around tool. Its good for NOobies aswell . :)

Edit: What I ment was with system mech. Its like tweak xp or NSW ,in that you can do so much more!

you'll never know. :shifty:

@peat moss, ya a lot of programs (like windowwasher, tupeup utilities, etc.) do that. You right click your recycle bin or a file\folder and select "shread file\folder\contents".

Are you recommending that people try this, in spite of the fact that they can't control it and you don't like it for that reason.

Seems a bit odd.

naqhh i hate the program, wouldn't recomend it. I was just pointing out that it frees up more than any other app.

lol. I use DB. I recommend it. Never failed me. I posted a guide about using it. Too lazy to link it.
