Disk CleanUp Wizard

After intense use, the computer can become filled with various leftovers of programs that didn’t get completely removed, or other junk you forgot to delete or got piled over time. Not only can this take up a lot of space, but might be the cause of your PC moving slower than usual. Luckily, Disk CleanUp Wizard is a specialized application to quickly get rid of them.

Visually appealing and easy to use

The whole process takes you through a few steps, each providing just the right amount of management options and descriptions, so you don’t get lost along the way. You can also connect external storage devices, with the application being capable of scanning any kind of storage device.
One of the first steps is selecting the source, and you can either pick multiple drives, or choose a bunch of folders. By default, there are some specific file formats targeted by the application, such as backup files, logs, and others that usually take up space for no reason. Before the process starts, you can manage that list and even add your own extensions.

Move or delete detected junk files

Be prepared to wait some time for the scan to finish, but this mostly depends on the complexity and size of the disk you select. Although there isn’t a progress indicator to let you know how much there’s left to wait, the list of results gets updated in real time, along with number and size of detected files.
When done, the application lets you select only those files you want to remove. Quick options are there to easily select or deselect all of them. However, they are not removed right away, because the application provides options to have files moved to a different folder instead, sent to Recycle Bin, or shredded so they can’t be recovered later on.

A few last words

All in all, disk space is still a concern, even if storage devices keep getting bigger and bigger. As such, Disk CleanUp Wizard is a tool you can keep around from the moment you install Windows, and run it from time to time in order to scan and remove files that have no further use, but still take up precious space.
