#WISE DISK CLEANER PRO PL SOFTWARE#

I have used ccleaner and other cleaner software which did not try to destroy my installation software. I hope that no one else makes the mistake that I nearly made. I chose the latter and narrowly averted a disaster. I will have to uncheck each of the hundreds of files one by one or else uncheck all of them and not use the program. It certainly does find more files to delete, but many of the files that it wants to deleted on my hard drive are files that should not be deleted. Someone said that UnWise Cleaner is better because it found more files to delete.

I tried to select the hundreds of files that I want to keep by highlighting them and clicking 'None' from the context menu, but the result was to uncheck all the files selected by UnWise Cleaner to delete instead of just unchecking the highlighted files. If I had let it proceed, it would have destroyed much of the installation software on my hard drives.įortunately, I noticed what it was doing, but there was no easy way to prevent UnWise Cleaner from deleting all these software installation files while letting it delete the junk that should be deleted. UnWise Cleaner picked out hundreds of files to be deleted from many of these software installation sets. This is very destructive software for anyone who keeps copies of software installation files on hard drives, as I do. it's not even worth buying the fiction rights to that particularly insane verdict. The reason why it's back to being arguably the best stand-alone is because it's once again a broom for sweeping out the store, not a scythe that chews through everything in sight.Īny favourable reviews in this thread of today's offering are as dangerously misleading as the software itself.Īnyone who uses it is anything but 'Wise' and definitely not: 'Pro'.Īs for the alleged 68% GOTD User Approval Rating.

Your experience illustrates exactly what I was referring to in my post #43.Ĭleaners - be it a standalone like CrapCleaner or a utilities suite component - have to mature on the basis of global user feedback (for example, even CrapCleaner went through an upgrade a couple of years back that actually made it much too aggressive, and so had to be 'de-tuned' in its default settings in the subsequent revision.) Save | Cancelīob: I'm really sorry you nearly fell victim to this so-called cleaner. Yes, users should check the Recycle Bin, but it's also configurable (at least Microsoft didn't screw that up on Vista).Īs for deleted-file recovery, despite its flaws, I recommend Recuva (use the Slim Installer, on the Builds page).Īs for deleted-file recovery, despite its flaws, I recommend Recuva (use the Slim Installer, on the Builds page). Until I reinstall Vista, I've had to disable it, because it won't restore anything since I installed some software for an external disk drive.īrowser cache sizes are configurable, the amont of space they use is small, they speed up browsing, and they get re-created when use the browsers. When it works, System Restore is great, but it can fail for no particular reason. Further, Vista does strange things and can create massive temporary registry snapshots when programs are installed, for example, and not delete them until after reboot. On Vista, it stores up to a month worth's of Restore Points, which can require a huge amount of disk space, and even more stupidly, it starts over near the start of a new month, so near the start of a month, you may not have a needed Restore Point. On XP, you could specify how much disk space to allocate to System Restore, and it would automatically remove old Restore Points.

For some stupid reason, Microsoft completely eliminated most configuration options on Vista, and made ridiculously bad decisions on how to implement it.

System Restore is the one of the best features of Windows. #65, mike, I very strongly disagree with your recommendations.
