Has something new come along? It’s been so long since I’ve needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.

    Absolutely not. It was sold to a third party with nebulous privacy policy among other annoyances. Get you some Bleachbit.

        Be very careful with Bleachbit, it’s very powerful and can ruin your system if you go too far cleaning. Ask me how I know 😂

          How do you know?

          More specificly, how did you break your system? What did you do? Did you “clean” your partition table or something?

            Let’s say, I checked too many boxes and messed with the root directory. Anything that shows as “slow” is dangerous

                Probably for the same reason someone would run it on Windows. It has both a Windows and Linux version.

                Why? To clean up left overs? You think Linux doesn’t have that and is just all pink and unicorns? lol

            Not that person but I tried to do the secure cleaning mode where it zeros empty space but I think I was also downloading something at the same time. This was several years ago but I vaguely recall my system being unable to boot.

            I haven’t used it in a long time, but I know that it has two versions, one root and the other is regular (that’s on Linux, not sure about Windows). Also don’t check those boxes that say something like “slow” or something like that. That’s just my experience. I’m pretty sure if you read up on it or watch a couple of YouTube videos you’ll figure it out.

      Oh joy. Must also be why they don’t have portable versions anymore.
