CleanUp is a fast free file cleaner that clears your system of certain junk files, but it doesn't ask permission before deletion. CleanUp's multitabbed dialog-size interface needs little explanation. It takes just a minute of setting options and this program is set for system cleaning.

One of its standout features is its ability to operate without requiring constant input, making it particularly useful for users looking for a quick and hassle-free solution to system cleaning. Its multitabbed dialog-size interface is straightforward and easy to navigate, allowing even first-time users to get it up and running with just a few minutes of setup. You simply need to set your preferred options, and CleanUp is ready to start optimizing your system.

CleanUp operates best when set for daily cleaning. It removes junk files quickly, and it can be easily set to operate silently. The program empties the Recycle Bin, deletes newsgroup subscriptions and cache, eats cookies, forgets favorite places, and will even reset some game scores. With one click it will wipe, rather than simply delete, files. Customizing cleaning of select folders and Registry entries is also a quick and painless process.

However, CleanUp does come with a significant drawback: It deletes files without seeking confirmation. Unlike similar file cleaners that provide a list of files set for deletion like CCleaner, allowing users to review and select what they want to keep, CleanUp proceeds with file removal as soon as it’s set in motion.

While this automation is a boon for speed and efficiency, it can be risky for less experienced users who might accidentally lose important files. CleanUp does offer a demo mode that shows which files would be deleted, but once you’re out of demo mode, there’s no option to save select files. This can be a limitation for users who prefer a bit more control over their system cleaning.

Bottom Line

CleanUp is best suited for experienced users who are comfortable setting up customization options for their systems. For those with the know-how, it becomes a valuable daily tool for removing temporary files, managing system clutter, and enhancing overall performance. Its ease of use and ability to operate quietly in the background make it a solid choice for users who prioritize efficiency over detailed control.

Download it today to see how CleanUp can keep your system lean and fast!

BEWARE! Can not be Uninstalled!
clistbuyersApril 23, 2014
Pros
Seems Fast but CCleaner is much better. No updates of software since 2007 it seems.
Cons
Try every way possible to delete this program including installing it several time and trying it again. Something is not right. Regardless of the approach the short cut icon on the desktop will remain and the program will start. All the functioning files to run this program is somewhere else in other folders rather than in the Program Folder. Tried to remove it with CCleaner, Add and Remove Program from Control Panel, uninstall icon in Program from Start Menu and going to the uninstall icon in the Program Folder in the C Drive folder. None will remove the files that run the program.
Summary
Do Not Install unless you plan on keeping it permanently.
ONE AMAZING GREAT LITTLE TOOL !!!

Pros
Easy to use One step to clean your PC
Cons
No Updates since 2007...!!
Summary
I have been using Cleanup and CCleaner for a decade now... both are good... but when it comes to cleaning all the junk files CCleaner is far better than Cleanup.... Also Cleanup has no updates from 2007 while CCleaner has new updates nearly every month...!!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 21, 2013<p/>It's good.....but no update from 2007..... CCleaner is much better with regular updates...
One of the Best!

AuraBoyXJune 20, 2011
Pros
Cleaned up 16 GB of useless temp files on my windows drive!!! Was at my wits end - ready to buy a new hard drive and reinstall windows... This cleared it all up!!! HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!!!!
Cons
NONE. This worked when nothing else would. A LIFESAVER!!!!!!! (No kidding!) :) :) :)
Summary
Disregard another reviewer's bad review saying it deleted everything on his computer. If you follow the directions and have it on the 'STANDARD CLEANUP' setting everything will run fine. DO NOT run on 'THOROUGH CLEANUP'. The program allows you to do a test-run ahead of time to see how much you can delete (and which files) whithout actually deleting them (reccomended). I had endless gigabytes of invisible files in my Users/AppData Windows folder that couldn't be deleted no matter what I tried. This program clearned them in 30 min! HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!! A++++++++++++(+++)(+)
