Is CCleaner still people's preferred computer cleaning app?

Has something new come along? It's been so long since I've needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.

Honestly I just run WinDirStat and do it manually.

Wiztree is like a hundred times faster, fyi.

He's not exaggerating. I didn't believe it was possible but holy shit so much better.

Yeah, just grabbed it and gave it a try. Took under 4 seconds to scan the same drive that WinDirStat took a full 3 minutes to scan.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a shot next time!

This but wiztree instead.

I did the same because having it be portable is so much better especially when you’re dealing with a system that has no space available to install.

I think that's also in my future, but I liked ccleaner for cleaning up old bits of uninstalled things that didn't remove themselves cleanly.

Revo for that, but in the moment instead of an afterthought 🤓
