Disk Cleaner Portable 1.5.7 Dev Test 3Submitted by Travis Carrico on March 5, 2008 - 11:45pm
Disk Cleaner is a free open source 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. this isn't as good as ccleaner or anything but it's the best open source temp cleaner. Changes: Dev Test 3: changed icon to the better one Zach made Dev Test 2: changed ugly icon with less ugly icon based on image from their website ( categories: )

Cool
I saw this on webi.org a while back, tried it out and it looked neat.
I'll try this out when I get a chance.
It's kinda sad when my desktop is messier than my room.
Nothing shows on the first tests...
But can we do something about the icon? Maybe somebody with some graphics skills can make a better one?

i can
yeah, i can make a better icon. i'm actually better with graphics than i am at programming. Even when i make a better icon though, the program itself is still ugly :(
Yeah
But an better icon will help. I'm not even sure what this one supposed to be. A funnel?

dev test 2
i didn't really want to make a purple funnel from scratch so i took this image from their website, edited out the text and made a new less ugly icon. if someone's awesome at making icons, i'm sure they could still make a better one.
Finally got around to that
Finally got around to that new icon...I found a funnel that i was able to extract from Everaldo's 256x256 set (most of the set is corrupted images). I added the purple overlay to the funnel, and here is my result.

thanks zach! i'll switch to your icon when i get a chance
sounds good. i didn't do
sounds good. i didn't do much with this one though...just rotated the original, made a copy of the original and filled it with solid purple, then set it to Overlay mode lol...oh and i added a drop shadow

Compared to Ccleaner?
I like DiskCleaner, especially the plug-in system that I find to be a relatively simple way to allow custom cleaning options. I know this app will be compared to Ccleaner which I had previously used quite a bit. Ccleaner does have a few more options than this app but I like that Diskcleaner does just one thing. I wonder if there are other open-source apps that cover the uninstall and registry-cleaning aspects that Ccleaner includes.
there aren't any uninstall or
there aren't any uninstall or registry cleaning open source apps that i've ever found. i like disk cleaner but it desperately needs a visual makeover if it wants to gain any popularity.

Works good in vista
I've tested it on and off in windows vista ultimate sp1 but never had the chance to post it until now.
It works well, and leaves nothing obvious behind.
