Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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

"t avoid this software like the plague"
Pros: it makes for excellent malware
Cons: erases things like addons and software like divx and quicktime webcam driver and those things dont correct after system restore and restore points can be deleted if not carefull
Summary: it sucks and i used to trust cnet editers when they said somethings handy but it took all day to fix my computer

Version: Temp File Cleaner 3.0.4
"Does it do what it says? I'm not sure!"
Pros: Do not have to install - just an exe. application. Very simple & easy. Done in a jiffy. Does clear unwanted files & gains HD space.
Cons: Not sure if it is deleting everything it says, coz after running it i checked my temp folder & cookies were untouched, which i had to manually delete (even after checking the cookie removal in settings) Anyway its free so.....
Summary: Not the best out there should try out others

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 >>
