The disk of your computer is saturated, Windows is long to start and your applications rare? This free app can automatically clean your PC to make it all its vigor.
Over time and its use, a Windows PC ends up clutching with a multitude of various files that pile up on its disk. And which slow it down, especially when the storage space is missing. To maintain it perfectly functional and responsive, it should be cleaned regularly, exactly as you maintain a car that rolls and falls. However, it is impossible to do this household by hand, because some files are difficult to find and therefore to delete.
Fortunately, there are specialized software that can do this cleaning automatically. Ccleaner is the best known, but he has lost his superb in recent years, reserving many practical functions for his paid version. And it is better today to turn to really free and very effective applications to clean and optimize a PC.
Among all the solutions available, one of them is really worth the detour: Hdcleaner. This free utility, developed by Kurt Zimmermann, is a complete and formidable toolbox to clean a PC in depth in a few minutes … but not only! The application indeed offers a whole series of tools to maintain, optimize and secure a computer, all from a very simple interface and entirely in French (even if some bank translations still drag here or there).
HDCLEANER first makes it possible to carry out a complete and automated cleaning of the system, by deleting the temporary, useless or obsolete files that have accumulated over time, and by cleaning in the Windows register. And as with other utilities of the same kind, it is obviously possible to exclude certain elements of cleaning, in order to keep the history or cookies of its internet browser for example, and avoid having to reconnect to your favorite sites .
But Hdcleaner also offers several other powerful and very practical tools. The application, for example, has a “grinder” which allows you to permanently delete files, or even erase an entire disk in a secure manner, so that the data can no longer be recovered. This is particularly useful when you want to resell or give a computer for example. HDCleaner can also check the health of a hard drive (HDD) and defragment it, or even automatically detect duplicate files on all storage, internal or external, computer spaces.
And the application even has some good surprises. It has a tool to rename several files at a time (with text replacement and automatic numbering), another to create a bootable USB key from Windows, a function to fully clone its disk to another Storage support, or even a real -time monitoring tool to optimize PC performance and many other useful functions!
In addition, HDCLEANER weighs only 5 MB and even has a portable version, which can be used without installation. It is therefore a perfect little Swiss knife to keep in a corner of its PC or on a USB key, to throw from time to time and maintain your computer in good working order. Finally, its developer is very active and its last update barely dates from September 23, a sign that the application is followed, maintained and therefore sustainable.
