Reviewed by: CNET Staff
It's not advanced in the true sense of the word, but this tool quickly scans for and removes junk files on your PC. Advanced Disk Cleaner is designed with the novice in mind, and scans are easily initiated with the touch of a button. Junk files are listed separately, and you can quickly select all of the files or handpick which ones to delete. As it scans, a helpful status bar shows how many folders have been scanned and how many junk files have been found. By default, the program scans for certain extensions like TMP and BAK, and you can add or remove extensions.
We liked the three options that allow you to completely remove junk files, place them in the Recycle Bin, or move them to a user-specified folder. The program also provides access to your computer's RegEdit and Control Panel. You won't find other tools (like a defragmenter) to manage or optimize disk space with this program. And even though its free, you will need a registration code to continue using the program after the 30-day trial. Despite the minor hassle of registration, Advanced Disk Cleaner can help any level user get rid of unnecessary files.
Publisher's description
From Innovative Solutions :Every day the programs on your computer create temporary and garbage files and leave them behind on your hard disk. These files build up over time, taking up valuable hard disk space and slowing your system down. Advanced Disk Cleaner is a free program, which makes it easy to quickly find and wipe away all the garbage files on your computer. It scans your disks quickly and then displays the garbage files so you can decide which of them you want removed. The program accurately detects and identifies only the garbage files.
In the options dialog you can add or modify the folders and file types to clean, as well as the ones you want to be excluded from the search. You can also choose between several methods of deleting files or moving to a special folder or simple deletion. After using Advanced Disk Cleaner you will have more disk space at your disposal so you can install more programs, have more MP3 music files. Version 4.5 corrects a few minor bugs.

Version: Advanced Disk Cleaner 4.5
Pros: Very simple interface anyone can understand and use!! Just a few buttons to click and your Hard drives are scanned for all garbage files. It quickly gives you a list of these files and gives you a simple one button step to remove them.
Overall this is a good and FREE program to keep your harddrive in outstanding shape.
To keep this as a free program you have to get a code from their web site so you register. I had NO PROBLEM receiving my registration code from the web site.I got it in about 4-6 hour from when I emailed them!!! I have had a couple of good conversations with the support staff from Innovative Solutions and I am confident that you will have no problem with getting any answers quickly.
Cons: In order for you to continue to use this as a free program you must first get a registration code from the publishers web site.Read the instructions carefully before emailing them requesting your registration code, they do not allow certain email addresses.

Version: Advanced Disk Cleaner 4.5
"Finds and deletes ... temp & cache files......"
Pros: It found temp & cache files which cCleaner have not identified.
Free but needs to be registered before 30 day trail period.
Cons: Not as fast as cCleaner.
It would have been more useful if it can find more temperory files and cookies categories like cCleaner does.
