This simple utility deletes unwanted files created in Windows, but a help file should have been included. Temp File Cleaner doesn't require installation, but you will need Java Runtime Environment 1.6 installed on your system. The program's interface is straightforward. Simple checkbox ticks in the program's settings allow you to select the areas to clean. In addition to Windows temp files, this software deletes temporary Internet files, cookies, the recycle bin, history, and others. The program quickly freed 500MB of disk space in just a few minutes during tests and it offers force deletion. Temp File Cleaner also displays a success or error notice after file deletion so you can easily trace files that weren't removed. While the program is relatively easy to follow, a help guide to outline deletion areas like prefetch, system restore data, and Windows update uninstallers needs to be included. Temp File Cleaner features an excessive search option to look in subfolders, but it isn't clear what methods it's using. With its speedy operation and cheap price, this application is suitable for intermediate to advanced users for efficient file cleaning.Publisher's description

Version: Temp File Cleaner 3.0.4
"Good - But not for everyone."
Pros: Thoroughly cleans lots of files.
Cons: Bad UI - potentially harmful.
Summary: This application is good at cleaning junk files, but it has a very bad user interface. Instead of a single control panel like most other applications, this one opens multiple boxes, which makes it somewhat cumbersome to work with. Another bad thing ... read more >>

Pros: It cleaned 1000.798 MB off my computer in minutes. It cleaned almost 600 files off my computer. I am highly impressed. You should download it (don't let the bomb icon scare you, like it did me). It's worth it! Best thing is it's free!
Cons: There aren't any that I can find.
Summary: Works hard, fast and very efficiently. A very big bang for such a small package! Very impressive tool!
