Not sure if this is in the right place... let me know if it needs to be moved. Anyway, I'm looking for software to clean up my system. I just want to get rid of all the unnecessary stuff that might be left over from old data. I would like one I can trust to not delete things it isn't supposed to. Tips? 

/AMD FX-6350 o/c to 4.4/Sapphire r9 270x 2GB/2x8GB HyperX Fury red/MSI 970 Gaming/EVGA 500B/NZXT S340/Corsair H100i V2/HyperX Fury 120GB SSD, Seagate Barracuda 1TB/

CCleaner is a good software

^This is definitely the best way hands down

 

but it's a PITA to reinstall everything

 

it's a PITA to run some cleaner for hours then reinstalling everything anyways because cleaners are shit.

I'll try out CCleaner. Don't really feel like messing with a windows disk
