Reviewed by: CNET staff on January 06, 2009
Even though we could have done without the nag screen, this free disk cleaning utility performed very well during our tests. Even beginners will appreciate how easy it is to use.
When you first install Wise Disk Cleaner 3 Free, you're taken to the publisher's Web site for more information about the program. Each time we accessed Wise Disk Cleaner 3 Free, we received a nag screen asking if we wanted to upgrade to the paid professional version. It was easily bypassed, but became something of a nuisance. A helpful wizard appeared at start-up, and walked us through the disk cleaning process. First, you choose from a long list of file extensions to include in the cleanup. The next step is to select the drives or folders you want to clean, and choose from a list of cleaning options, such as deleting cookies and temporary files. The last step is to choose to run the program in either auto-run or manual mode, and whether you want the files permanently deleted or sent to your recycle bin. Once we went through the wizard, we were sent to the main user interface to click the Scan button. Considering the task at hand, the program worked extremely fast to pull up all of the junk files according to our specifications. It took a little time for the program to delete and send the files to the Recycle Bin, but we were able to continue working during the process.
Our test computer's performance noticeably improved after running the program. Users of all levels will find Wise Disk Cleaner 3 Free easy to use and effective, and the nag screen was a small price to pay for this freeware utility.

From WiseCleaner :Wise Disk Cleaner is a free disk utility designed to help you keep your disk clean by deleting any unnecessary files. Usually, these unnecessary, or junk files appear as a result of program's incomplete uninstalls, or Temporary Internet Files.

Wise Disk Cleaner, with its intuitive and easy to use interface, helps you quickly wipe out all the junk files. Using the program is indeed easy. It also works fast when both scanning for files and deleting files.

Version: Wise Disk Cleaner 4.82
"Does what it says, though wonder about it efficacy."
Pros: Stable, nice interface, not kludgy
Cons: Scan seems a bit slow. Wish there were a better way than filename pattern scanning.
Summary: I inadvertantly recycled personal documents that I had named with a tilde to put first in the list in certain folders. Recovered from recycle bin, then removed that filename pattern from search criteria.
Also, if you delete .LOG files, you can... read more >> -
Version: Wise Disk Cleaner 4.82
Pros: limited computer experience necessary.
Cons: the pop up window to purchase pro product when you first opened the program
Summary: It was very easy to install & use. Ran the scans then let you either fix them all or chose which ones you wanted to fix. Also flagged the ones that you may not want to remove, but could.
