Does CCleaner work?

[That90sKid]

My question is very simple but I'm just wondering since I've never used it. But, does CCleaner actually work? I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about it or experiences using it. 

[Kherm]

Yes.

[Tsuki]

yeah it works great! i use it all the time for cleaning up my registry. (i wrote my own script to clean everything else so i dont use it for that anymore)

[Enderman]

yeah just make sure that when deleting temp files you actually know what things you are selecting
if you check the wrong boxes you could delete all your desktop shortcuts, or network passwords, or a bunch of stuff you probably want to keep

 

but thats just for the crap cleaner part

 

the registry cleaner you can check all the boxes and its safe to delete

[That90sKid]

Guess I should give CCleaner a go then.

CCleaner can definitly work, but it dose not do any thing that you cant do on your own, just make sure you know what your clicking on befor you do so.

[DimasRMDO]

It does work, but I suggest not to use the registry cleaner.

Or if you just want to play safe then Disk Cleanup would do fine.

[LogicalDrm]

Its the most common recommended system cleaner. By everyone. From normal to power users and professionals.

Yes, it can actually improve desktop performance too if your computer is too cluttered with junk

I've never had the registry cleaner actually fuck something up

You should allow it to backup the deleted keys though, just to be sure. It stores it as a .reg file, so if something stops working, you can just double click your latest backup and it'll reinstall all the keys.

Well good for you then, my laptop was f*cked up since I used the registry cleaner. Somehow it made my laptop blue screen like hell, I don't really like registry cleaner anymore. Yeah I should've made a backup of it, well.... I just want to play safe, disk cleanup does fine as well, though CCleaner offers more features.
