DiskMax
As we keep using out windows system, windows keeps dumping it’s temporary files on different drives, not only eating up on disk space but also causing heavy fragmentation. Also, as the cache and the various system specific locations get filled up, the drive becomes slower and slows down the windows startup.
DiskMax is a disk cleanup software developed by Koshy John and the best part, it is totally free.
This amazing software freed a total of 2.3GB from my hard-disk on first run, in spite of me using an array of cleanup softwares.
Some of the areas it takes care of are :
- Automates emptying your recycle bin (if specified), cleaning up of installation remnants, and debugging information.
- Cleans up every user’s History, Temp, Temporary Internet Files, Cookies (if specified), Recently opened documents list, explorer thumbnail cache and windows error reporting logs.
- Clears out Windows cache, unused legacy cursors (on Vista, if specified), debugging info, internet logs, help center caches, repair information, DLL caches, Logs, temporary files and windows update roll-back files.
- Cleans up after Vista SP1/SP2 install (if specified).
- Removes registry entries for multiple Most Recently Used lists.
- Clears out Windows Vista event logs (no other application out there does this).
- Deep scans your hard-disk to remove all files of type log, old, prv, chk, swp, bak, gid, wbk, tmp and dmp. This can be cancelled if you are an advanced user who needs these types of files for immediate troubleshooting.
- Defragments your HDD(s) – basically rearranges files around so that they can be accessed faster.
- Displays a log of all the activities performed along with associated time stamps.
Else than that, the software is worth a try.
