Beyond basic cleaning

Start with the clutter.
Take control of the rest.

Keep Free for core cleaning, or move to Professional when you want automation, driver and software updates, and Performance Optimizer.

Keep background apps in check

Performance Optimizer can put unnecessary apps into Sleep mode to help Windows stay responsive and ease battery drain on laptops.

Find space hiding in cloud storage

Scan Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive for large leftovers so you can reclaim cloud storage you still pay for.

Keep drivers and software current

Driver Updater helps find outdated or faulty drivers. Software Updater helps close known gaps by updating apps that still carry old bugs and security holes.

Professional depth when Free is not enough

Move up when you want scheduled automation and updater tools alongside the same cleaning habits you already trust.

Automatic cleaning, on your terms

Get the benefits of Free, plus Smart Cleaning to reclaim hard drive space automatically — with the same preview-first habits you already use in Custom Clean.

Performance Optimizer uses patented technology. Details on the features page.

  • Schedule cleaning around your day
  • Keep preview-first habits from Custom Clean
  • Pair with exclusions for folders you care about

Great

★★★★☆

Rated highly by Windows users who clean with CCleaner Free and Professional

Steady on Win 10

Still solid after software updates. Support pages helped when I needed to confirm what Custom Clean would remove.

Health Check first

Health Check is quick when the drive is full of temp junk. I still open analysis before I delete anything important.

Anne Pengelly, 1 week ago

Long-time habit

I have always used CCleaner for my computer health. It is efficient and cost effective for a home PC.

Reliable weekly clean

RELIABLE, EASY TO USE for weekly Custom Clean on a few office desktops.

Watch the installer

Works well for cookies and leftover caches. Watch the installer for optional offers if you want a leaner install.

Duplicate Finder helped

Duplicate Finder saved space on a photo folder mess. Interface is clearer than the old Tools tabs I remembered.

Family PC privacy

We use Free mainly to clear browser history and cookies between users. Fast enough that nobody fights over who cleaned last.

Jordan Lee, 4 days ago

Startup list is useful

Startup manager made boot less crowded after years of leftover apps. I disable first instead of deleting when unsure.
