Remove the detritus of Windows with this very helpful freeware. Baku's interface is a lesson in clean, efficient design, and cleaning up your computer is easily completed using the three wizards to remove unwanted files, invalid Registry keys, and Most Recently Used lists.

This flexible program allows you to search for specific junk file types and easily exclude folders or drives from the scan. Results can be sorted a number of ways, with buttons to select (or deselect) all items for deletion. One oddity: Instead of going back to the main interface Baku completely closes if you cancel a search.

This freeware clean-up tool is powerful enough for system administrators but easy enough for the intermediate or Registry-savvy user.

Publisher's description

Baku allows you to search for system registry errors and unneeded files that can be safely removed. Features include deletes empty folders, history folder contents, recent documents folder contents, temp folder contents, temporary Internet files, and cookies. Searches Windows log files, shortcuts to missing files and folders and user specified file types. Registry scan removes unused and obsolete keys, including ActiveX/COM, Application Paths, Fonts, Help files, Icon files, Sound files, Uninstall Programs and Windows Installer. The registry is automatically backed up before any changes are made. Implements the Department of Defense clearing and sanitizing standard DOD 5220.22-M, to give you confidence that once deleted, your file data is gone forever.

Version 2.5.2715 includes ability to cancel cleaning without closing the application and improved MRU list detection.
