There are many users who like to install any application that passes through their hands, with the sole pretext of checking what they do, even if we do not plan to give it a utility in the future. Any program that we install on a PC always leaves a trace in the form of files that stay on the teameven if we uninstall the application, a difficult trace to eliminate if we do not use the appropriate tools.
Windows does not include any tool that is responsible for analyzing and checking which files are being used by any application, so if we want to keep our PC clean of garbage, we will be forced to resort to third-party applications such as the ones that we show below.
- Shredit. Shredit is an interesting option to clean our computer of files that are no longer useful on our PC. Unlike other applications, the operation is very basic without many pretensions, however, it is one of the most effective that we can find to free up space on a PC. We can download the free version directly from its website.
- BleachBit. Another interesting tool that we have talked about many times in Softzone is BleachBit, a little-known application that includes a large number of functions to clean our hard drive, since it analyzes it in search of files that are useless in the system as copies old security, temporary files, Windows cache among others. It is a completely free tool that we can download directly from its website by clicking on the following link.
- Wise Disk Cleaner. It is an application specifically created to clean our PC of junk. It has a very simple and intuitive user interface that allows us to quickly search for the files that are left over from our PC. In addition, it also includes an advanced mode that offers us additional functions to eliminate lines in the Windows registry of applications that are no longer installed, among many other functions. We can download this application completely free of charge through its website.
- Clean Master. This is one of the applications with the most intuitive user interface that also allows us to manage the partitions of our hard drive. With the free version of Clean Mater, we can leave our computer completely clean of garbage, but if we want something else, we’ll have to go through the checkout.
- CCleaner. CCleaner is the best-known application in the computer world when it comes to cleaning accumulated junk on the computer, both in the form of files and directories and through modifications to the registry, however, in recent years, the application has gone losing utility in the free version forcing users to pay for the full version.
