If you are a software freak who likes installing and testing a lot of applications, and then removing them, then your hard disk may be filled up with unwanted and obsolete files and folders. That's because when uninstalling programs, some files are usually left behind. This is not a problem in case of a single application, but on the long run, there is. Having a lot of useless files and folders on your hard disk not only takes a lot of space, but it can also make the computer run slower than normal and can even cause stability issues.

Cleaning these files can be done by using the special tool included in Windows, namely Disk Cleanup. But unfortunately, the program cannot remove all the unwanted files and cannot thoroughly scan the hard disk as WinASO Disk Cleaner can. This last mentioned program can efficiently scan your hard disk and remove all the files that aren't used by applications. Doing so will save hard disk space and will improve overall system performance.

It's a Windows application obviously, because of the Win word included in the software's name. Speaking about its name, by looking at it, one can know what the program is all about. But it's not only the name that's intuitive, so is the interface of WinASO Disk Cleaner. Basically, a user just needs to select which partitions he would like to scan and then click on the Start Scan button. Soon enough, the interface will be filled up with obsolete files and folders and the user can choose to remove them all or only some of them.

Experienced users can browse through the program's settings, which allows excluding certain file types of paths from the scan, for example, the Windows folder. Besides that, WinASO Disk Cleaner can be configured to permanently delete all the useless files or to send them to the Recycle Bin, to be recovered in case the user needs them.

WinASO Disk Cleaner features some extra features, besides removing unwanted files. It can remove browser history, cookies and cache and can also delete recently accessed documents, thus helping improve security and privacy.

Pros

It can scan and remove all the unwanted files and folders from the hard disk, either permanently or using the Recycle Bin. Besides that, it can remove browser cache, cookies, history and also the recently accessed documents.

Cons

The limited amount of options may not please an experienced user. WinASO Disk Cleaner is a cleanup tool for saving hard disk space and improving system performance by deleting unwanted files.
