Pros
This program lets you choose the junk files that you want to search and delete. It finds a ton of useless files and freed 100 MB on my computer, and that's useful for a 7.6 gb harddrive. <p> <p>A feature that I like is that it moves the files directly to the recycle bin. Letting you choose ones that you don't want to throw away (i.e. some backup/quarentine files it chose).
Cons
Although it did free 100 mb on my harddrive, that is not what it said it would free. It came up with a message saying that after permantly deleting the files, it would free 250 mb, but i checked it and it only freed 103 mb. So it doesn't do what it says. <p> <p>Besides that, I would still recommend this if you don't clean your computer regularly.
Summary

Developer’s Description

By SWE Martin Preussner

Reclaim drive space quickly, by getting rid of space-wasting files.

The completely newly developed Purge searches for digital junk files - and removes waste data that accumulated during your daily work. The new version gets the job done much faster than before. Your Windows computer has to be maintained and cleared regularly. Purge has been there to help you since 1999. It is released in a new and optimized version nearly every month.

The program searches specifically for temporary files, old protocol files, outdated backup copies in the recycle bin and many other files that are not needed anymore. If they are deleted, this will free a lot of memory space. Also, the general performance will be increased. Purge also likes to take care of cookies, the cache and your browser history. This clean-up gives your system an additional purge. Also, private fingerprints left by the user are removed this way. An backup, which is created on demand, makes sure all changes can be undone anytime.
