"Great for improving computer speed"

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

I never encountered and issues while using the software. It always worked like our IT tech said it would.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vastly improves computer performance and speed. Startup every morning was much quicker and made it possible for me to post morning reports without having to come in 15 minutes early every morning to meet the deadline.

"Indispensable para limpiar y agilizar la pc"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

Cada vez que llego a una computadora lo primero que hago es descargarle CCleaner, incluso lo tengo en mi tableta y celular. Es una herramienta indispensable, pues te ayuda eliminar todos aquellos archivos innecesarios que van quedando en tu máquina o dispositivos, que ocupan espacio y que hacen que los procesos se hagan muy lentos. En el caso de los dispositivos móviles como tabletas y celulares, te permite cerrar rápidamente aquellas aplicaciones que te están consumiendo mucha memoria. En la pc te ayuda a desinstalar programas que de otra forma seria imposible. Me encanta Ccleaner y lo mejor: ¡es gratis!

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

Estoy bastante contenta con el software. Hasta los momentos no tengo quejas del mismo. Por el contrario le veo mucho beneficios.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

Me parece maravilloso que con un solo software puedas resolver varios problemas, por esta razón lo considero indispensable, no solo a nivel empresarial sino también personal. Además es extremadamente amigable y fácil de usar.

"El programa más completo para limpieza de pc"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

Es un software muy sencillo y amigable de usar. La versión gratis tiene todo y más de lo que esperas. Puedes limpiar tu pc de todos aquellos archivos caché, temporales y demás, que solo hacen que el rendimiento de tu máquina sea menor. Puedes limpiar el registro, desinstalar programas, analizar el disco, en fin, una gran cantidad de funciones en un solo programa, que hacen que tu pc tenga un rendimiento óptimo.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

El proceso para descargar la actualización de la versión gratuita es muy engorroso. Los principiantes deben ser cuidadosos al borrar entradas de registros, es mejor prestar atención a la opción que brinda el programa: copia de seguridad.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

Desde que comencé a utilizar Ccleaner me he dado cuenta que es un programa indispensable en cualquier computadora, de esta manera se disminuyen los retrasos en el procesamiento. Cada vez que notas que tu pc anda lenta, ejecutas Ccleaner y el problema se resuelve. Es grandioso.

"It is a great app to help keep your pc clean and running faster"

I like that it cleans out all the history, cookies and cache from each web browser that I use. It is very convenient cause I don't have to go to each browser and do this myself when my pc starts slowing down.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

I do not dislike anything about it cause it is pretty good software and does not give me any problems.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do all my business on my pc, so it solves a lot of problems when my pc gets slowed down from all the cookies and cache. I can just click on the app and click one button and it solves my problems.

"One of the best cleaning programs available for PC"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

CCleaner is a great tool to work with, the cleaner option is complete and quick, the registry cleaner is useful to delete invalid entries, the uninstall option is better than the one found in Windows because it has deep-scan and the start-up setting feature make it faster to set up some things. It is a great software in overall even on its free version.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

When i run this application it show clearing the temp and some unnecessary data. But it is not clearing all the temp files always from my computer. It is also not clearing my regedit values sometimes. Always asking for update. Need more improvements for user interface. Need to improve the performance of this software. Also I always encounter whenever I clean and fix my registry files, I usually need to scan it three times before all of my registry issues are fixed. Rather than the registry scan, the software runs smoothly.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its clearing the faulty registry values which saves the time and makes the system faster. Securely erases the passwords and sensitive files. It gives instant boost up for the performance. Keeps it support cost down,it is available for the affordable cost to the companies.

"Brilliant little tool for keeping things clean and running smooth"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

It's free! And it has a wide range of options that go beyond those offered by Windows and (especially) Mac's built-in cleaning of temporary and other files. The default options will protect basically everything but browsing data but you can go so far as to clear cached thumbnails, old windows installations, and much more, and I've found that it does a much better job than Windows and Mac. I also like the built-in program install/uninstall interface especially as Windows 10 has changed this a little. CCleaner's has helped me get rid of a few programs that Windows couldn't seem to uninstall.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

My only complaint is probably the update process of the free version, although recently they've started downloading the latest version for you automatically. But I'm not too worried about this since the free version is, you know. Free. I'm happy to make a few more clicks through their website to get the latest version.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

I help manage a Linguistics Lab where lots of users use the machines and can quickly slow them down. This program is perfect for keeping things clean and smooth.

"Ccleaner effective cleanup"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

I like how easy it is to use the tool. This makes it easy for me to tell people to try running Ccleaner on their computer before I have to dig into their issues. You can also uninstall programs, disable auto startup of programs and fix registry issues all in CCleaner.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

The only thing i found frustrating is that some older versions are not compatible with windows 10

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

easier to adjust startup programs so that computer loads faster at login. Also easy for users to clear their temp files. Less time needed for IT to do these tasks

"Keeps your PC Purring!"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

It is so easy to use and works quickly and completely cleaning up old files daily. This wonderful software cleans up directory errors, DLL file incompletes, browser cache problems and many other things . I use this everyday to keep my PC humming right along at top speed. I simply love it! The software updates are regular to keep it up to date, and there is a pro-version as well, for advanced users!

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

There is very little not to like about a free version of a professional software that does so much to keep your PC running at top performace. Maybe they could have automatic updates instead of a manual installation you have to to yourself.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have not had to purchase a new PC do to errors and old file buildups! Time is saved daily by keeping my PC running at optimum speed with this software. Many few browser crashes save time and effort daily, not to mention technical frustration when you don't really know what the problem is.

"Great tool"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

Simple compact interface and so many ways to use it from the cloud to portable to endpoint installation.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

From time to time the portable version disappears from the site like it was never there.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

Clearing junk essentially. Used it recently to clear temp files on a Mac by remote access to fix a bad cookie issue where sites did not recognize chrome being up to date.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

Aside of having to disable the active monitoring option as it consumes a decent amount of resources, I'm pretty happy with the software in general.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been using CCleaner to keep both clients and coworkers computers free of unneeded files or fix entries, and in some cases, to easily delete malware as its uninstall tool is easier to use than the featured implemented on Windows.

"Best system cleaner I have ever tried"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

It is hard to choose what I like best from a software where most features are excellent, but the features I have been using more are the cleaner, - which remove unwanted data like temporary files, browser cache, tracking data, un-needed application files and more - the registry management in order to remove invalid or broken entries (including a backup just in case) and the start-up options. The interface is easy to use and many of its features are fasters than other tools I tried, even in the free version. It is simply a fantastic software.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

The only aspect I dislike is that you need to manually disable the system monitoring, as often it causes more issues than solutions. But other than that, I'm more than satisfied with the software.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been using CCleaner for years to keep reduce the wasted space, keep the registry clean and uninstall unwanted software easily, alongside other tools like being able to recover a previous state after a bad installation or disable a startup software that is slowing down the computer when turning on. Using this software isn't limited to personal and work computers but also from friends and family, as it is extremely easy to use and less problematic than the options that are available in the operative system.

"Safe and reliable cleaning product"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

Have used this product for over 10y on many many PCs, and it has never caused any problems, even the registry cleaner. I have a great deal of trust in this product and the rest of the Piriform suite of utilities. I like the intelligent cookie cleaning, so I can trust that good cookies stay. Cleaning can be scheduled also, which is nice if you are managing a fleet of PCs. I think the first c stands for crap - and that's what it does; clear out the crap.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

After all these years, there should be better help. There is no context sensitive help, or even a help link. It would be nice if they provided more explanation of some of the more techie system & advanced cleaning options. For example I only learned by trial and error that cleaning MS Office products also cleans out your recently used files list. So I generally set up the cleaning defaults for my clients so they don't have to figure it out. (Once you clean once, it remembers the settings for next time) They also removed an option that was in earlier versions to remove old windows update files. I don't know why that was removed, it used to really simplify windows update cleaning (is it part of another cleaning function now? I haven't checked)

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think the first c stands for crap - and that's what it does; clear out the crap! Keep a nice clean registry, get rid of temporary files, clear out browser chaches etc.

"A fantastic system cleaner - installed on every windows computer."
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

Cleans up after Windows and installed programs. Helps reclaim lost space and speed in cleaning up cache and uninstalls as well as registry errors. Never have had a problem with the registry changes it has made. Just a fantastic piece of software. You can use the free version for home use. Business (and even many home users) should really consider the paid version. It's cost effective.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

Sometimes there is a stubborn program that defines CCleaner's attempt to clean up and I need to do manual work. Most people wouldn't bother.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

Maintaining computers storage and speed to make the most of the investment. I have seen CCleaner fix thousands of registry errors and reclaim gigabytes of lost data. On a regularly maintained machine the returns are less, but still makes a different.

"Lifesaver when my computer is low on space"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

Ccleaner is my go-to when I'm freaking out about my storage space being low. As a video editor, I know that video files may take up a lot of space on my computer. I also know that sometimes, I don't have time to back my files up to an external hard drive in order to create more space and continue editing my current project.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

I dislike how sometimes, my computer says there s a bunch of space after I let Ccleaner wipe my files and then shortly after, (maybe the next day), there isn't as much space available anymore. Not sure if this is because of the app itself or my laptop.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to meet my deadlines, specifically when I am low on space.

"Nice cleaning tool"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

We have a lot of pc that needs administration and as a lot of people dont care about cookies and cache, i can easily manage this task. The tool is doing it job properly. You can tick or uptick those feature you want to clean. I used many tools similar like that for more than 10 years, Every time i do setup a new PC , first thing to download is CCleaner.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

That there is not a boost one button, No clear instruction for the beginners how to manage the tool. And a lot of updates with pop-up message sometimes its annoying.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do use it on our network when a PC is slow or need a full administration. I use first thing when i need to setup a clean PC or after a recovery.

"Ccleaner is a great solution to keep your computer clean & running as it should!"
What do you like best about Ccleaner?

I like the ease with which the cleaning & clearing process takes place. It's very intuitive & accessible for non geeks like me. What used to be done by hand (or not at all) can now be done quickly & efficiently. In additions to the cleaning function, I also like the simple solutions to access the start up list etc.

What do you dislike about Ccleaner?

I think I would like to see a function that enables to sort out issues with processor speed as this is a very common problem. Other than that, for a simple user like myself, I think this product gives all of the info one would normally need. I would imagine that someone with a greater understanding of computers might find other features that he'd like.

What problems is Ccleaner solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some of our computers have multiple users & each one takes up a substantial amount of space on the hard drive. CCleaner has enabled me to clean up any unwanted data & keep the Hard drive as clear as possible.
