Simple optimize and clean-up software ?

[2013]

Could someone recommend a good clean up and optimize software, I was using CCleaner but stop a few years after the security issue they had and switched to wisecare 365 but recently every time I open it, I get a warning message URL:Blacklist (could be a reason for it )

So I was hoping I could find a replacement

Stick with Windows disk clean-up, no need to use anything else. 3rd party ones sometimes tries to clean too much, had an issue with CCleaner years ago which broke the Windows install. Disk clean-up also can clean up windows updates no longer needed which can always free up a few gigs.

I use the portable version of CCleaner with an extended version of the Winapp2.ini (link). Right click each option slowly and analyse what it's capable of doing for you and if it's going to delete anything you might want to keep. For example cleaning cookies on your web browser might log you out of sites which you don't have the password for any more.

Edit: When you download the portable version of CCleaner, you can safely delete the lang, x64 and x86 folders. That's exactly what I do to my CCleaner to de-bloat it.

Thanks guys, Is windows better than tools like CCleaner now ?
I have been checking out what windows 11 can do
windows 11 now comes with
Start up manager
Temporary files clean up ( I don't know if its as good as CCleaner or as many features ) but its easier to find now

I wanted a simpler click and done option that's why I've still been using software like this.
CCleaner was good in the past and much better than the basic windows one, one click and done after adding all my setting, I dont know about now but will check it
The only other 2 that are half decent one I know about are are I Glary Utilities 5 and wise care 360.


What is the best software uninstaller ? One that will clean up the leftover files also
I've been checking out
Revo which I used in the past
BCUninstaller
HiBitUninstaller
Wise uninstaller (The one I like to use)
Glary Utilities 5

also I've only used CCleaner normal, I've nor seen the portable one, where do you find it and is it the same ?

Disk cleanup no need for 3rd party software.

Here is a direct link to the portable version of CCleaner: https://download.ccleaner.com/portable/ccsetup609.zip

I also use Revo Uninstaller for uninstalling software and have done so for quite some time now.

If you want to look at another alternative to CCleaner, I also use BleachBit,

To me, BleachBit is a more basic version of CCleaner, without the frills and bloat.

Then use the windows inbuilt software. It does the same thing.
