I have used Ccleaner since 2015. But recently, I feel it very annoying.

So, is Ccleaner still good to use? I would like to know if there are a different cleaner that better than Ccleaner.

    CCleaner is fine. It is completely safe as long as you don't us its registry cleaning functionality. CCleaner's registry cleaning is much safer that that of other registry cleaners, bot none of them is completely safe. Moreover, none of them are needed.

    However, most of what Cleaner does isn't needed. It doesn't hurt to use it, but don't expect it to make great imrovements to your performance; it won't.

    I see that someone else here has said "it is not advisable to use thir-party apps." I completely disagree. Yes, some third-party programs are dangerous, but that doesn't mean they all are. You should avoid a third-party program that's known to be dangerous, not all third-party programs. I, for one, use many third-party programs under Windows 11, and I'm very happy with them.

    Good Day NỐ,

    My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 11 pc and community member like you. Let us work together to sort this out.

    No, it is not advisable to use thir-party apps like CCleaner, it may contain malware or adwares, I highly suggest for you to uninstall that instead.

    If you want to clean your computer you can use disk cleanup which is a built in cleaner in Windows computer.

    Visit this link on how to perform disk cleanup.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dis...

    If you want to scan your computer for malwares , you can use the Windows Security and perform Quick Scan.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    Sincerely,

    Carlo T.

    I disagree with that. It was a great cleaning app before but now, it's getting worse.

    Totally agree that Disk Cleanup is ok, but the problem is I would like a easier way to clean my PC, that's all.

    I use PRIVAZER. It's Free and does a really good job of getting junk off your PC. Wouldn't trust any other cleaner especially Ccleaner.
