Whichever edition you choose, the interface is well designed, easy to use and unlikely to frighten even the newest PC user. Like most of the tools here, it cleans up files and folders you don't need, neatens up the Windows registry and corrects errors on your hard drive - all via a simple, slick dashboard. Piriform CCleaner Piriform CCleaner has been around for a long time and part of the reason for its ongoing popularity is that it cleans the parts of your PC that many other free apps don't.
There's a paid-for version that adds real time protection and cleanup scheduling, but the free version covers the important stuff such as removing temporary files, getting rid of browser caches, removing unwanted cookies while keeping the useful ones and so on. If your PC just feels sluggish then this is the app to try first.
It doesn't have all the advanced features of apps like System Mechanic, but the stuff it does clear is famous for slowing down PCs. PC Decrapifier PC Decrapifier is particularly useful on brand new PCs, which are often either full of exciting opportunities to discover new apps or stuffed to the gills with a load of useless junk, depending on your point of view. If you tend to the latter then then this free app is well worth a look.
It analyses your system, shows you the apps it thinks you should get rid of - based not just on its developers' opinions but on other users' feedback - and then removes the ones you choose.

It includes protection from ransomware that detects unauthorized file changes in real time and blocks them before your data can be encrypted — even if it's a new type of threat that's never been encountered before. Some of IObit Advanced SystemCare's tools will have a negligible effect on system performance unless you're really scraping by, but its deep scans will throw up lots of potential improvements that can make a tangible difference to system performance.
We particularly appreciate the clear labelling of scan results so users can make an informed decision about what to keep and discard.
Ashampoo WinOptimizer so called because it cleans your PC 'like a shampoo' is one of the most accessible tools for speeding up your PC, and is a great choice if you've never used a system optimization tool before.
Click 'Start search' and it scans your drives for potential issues and splits the results into three categories: clean up junk files , optimize internet settings and protect history and logs. You can fix these all with a single click, or click the 'Details' button for more information. This is where Ashampoo WinOptimizer really shines. Rather than just presenting you with an impenetrable list of file names, it walks you through each issue individually, offering a brief description, an explanation of how it might be affecting your PC's performance, and a recommended course of action.
It's refreshing to see an interface that's been so carefully designed with accessibility in mind. There's also the usual bundle of defragging, uninstalling and startup management tools grouped under the 'Modules' tab , but the main scanner is where this software really shines. This includes an additional game booster, faster scans, Windows 10 privacy controls, and a wizard for tuning SSDs. Whether you opt for the free or premium edition, Iolo System Mechanic is one of the best tools around for speeding up your PC and clearing up unwanted files.
System Mechanic offers two types of scan: Quick and Deep. The first option identifies the most common issues including temporary files, browser history and registry entries. The Deep scan delves further and has the potential to turn up more results, but takes several minutes. Your results may differ, but in our experience both turned up a similar number of issues. Clicking the 'Details' link provides plenty of information about the identified problems and why you might want to remove them, though it's not quite as straightforward as Ashampoo Winoptimizer.
It's also much more than just a system optimizer; it includes dual-engine malware protection, data recovery, secure file deletion and many more extras.
If you're considering buying an anti-malware tool to supplement your antivirus , it's well worth adding Iolo System Mechanic to your shortlist. Note that you'll be asked to submit an email address during registration, but Iolo doesn't share it with third parties. Piriform CCleaner is incredibly thorough, scanning every scrap of your hard drive or SSD for unnecessary files that could be slowing it down.
However, unlike some system speed-up tools, it's never overwhelming. Search results are organized into sensible categories such as temporary files attached to web browsers, and ones related to Windows , and any files that you might want to keep are unchecked by default.
CCleaner doesn't offer a description of all file types before offering to purge them, but if you select any of the files under the 'Advanced' heading it'll tell you why you should think twice before removing them. It would be nice if all the annotations were in such plain English, but we appreciate the effort.
