CLEAN UP YOUR PC
Ready? Click the Run Cleaner button. A warning dialogue will pop up
— this is your last chance to back out (this is because files are
deleted, rather than being sent to the Recycle Bin). If you’re happy to proceed,
click OK and watch as CCleaner effortlessly clears up gigabytes of drive storage,
giving your programs, apps and files much-needed breathing space.
01
CHOOSE WHAT TO SCAN
CCleaner’s Cleaner component comes with certain settings
pre-selected. It’s a good idea to review these thoroughly, unticking
those you don’t want to lose, and ticking those settings you’d like to clean.
Unsure about what files a particular setting might delete? Right-click it and
choose ‘Analyze...’
03
CONTINUE CHECKING
Scroll down to view all Windows settings – remember, if in doubt,
either perform an analysis on the specific setting or untick it to
exclude it from the full scan. When done, switch to the Applications tab to see
which programs are supported. Again, scan these in the same way, unticking
those you wish to leave.
06
MANAGE EXCLUSIONS
Click Options and select Exclude to review which items are excluded
from your scans. You can easily remove files that you’ve previously
placed here (Ctrl-click those files to select them, then click Remove), or add
additional files, folders, Registry keys (not relevant here) and file types to the list
by clicking the Add button to enter their details.02
REVIEW ANALYSIS
CCleaner will perform a limited scan using the chosen settings.
To view exactly what it’s found, double-click the summary in the
right pane (such as ‘Microsoft Edge — Download History’) and a list of files
will be shown. Right-click individual files to exclude them from future scans
or open the parent folder.04
ANALYSE AND CLEAN
Once you’re ready, click the Analyze button and wait while CCleaner
performs a complete scan. When it’s complete, a summary will be
shown listing all of the components you’ve selected, complete with how much
space you might save. As before, review individual components by double-
clicking them.[STEP BY STEP]
