Features

ScreenshotDisk Cleaner is a free tool to quickly and easily clean your hard disk from temporary files like those in the system temporary folder, the Internet Explorer Cache and Cookies folder, and the Recycle Bin. It is very easy to use: select the items you would like to clean, press the clean button, and you're done! Despite the ease of use, the extendibility by plug-ins, which in fact are just simple text files, make that Disk Cleaner can also be used by power users to clean specific items. All that is needed to create a simple plug-in is a text editor, such as notepad.

I wanted to thank Travis Carrico for his work on the older 1.5 version of this app. As the app has changed quite a bit, I had to start over using PortableApps.com Launcher, so it is no longer using his code.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Although this probably cleans a lot that ccleaner does After downloading it I noticed it cleaned some things ccleaner did not touch even with a updated winapp.ini file. However I would keep ccleaner and use this too.

I love this app, been using it for years! It's very easy to use for novice users, and customizable so you can cleap up additional "custom" garbage. I like the cookie protection feature too, so that you can delete cookies you don't need but keep the ones that are for your favorite sites like PortableApps.com, so your login information is not lost.

Thanks John and the PortableApps development team.

yeah, but does it clean out Firefox, Ghrome, and Safari temporary internet files too? I know it probably could be configured to, but does it out of the box? for I don't know where safari for windows, firefox for windows, and chrome keep their temporary internet files. and since I use safari for windows most often, that is a concern to me

It definitely supports the cleaning of a local Firefox install out of the box (but not FirefoxPortable). I can't speak for Chrome or Safari. I don't think so.

The page says its multilingual but as far as I can tell from the original disk cleaner page, languages will come in the next version so 1.7.x is english only.
