I found this program recently (Although its been out for sometime now.) and ran it on all my computers. I freed up two Gigabytes of crap in two minutes. Here is a link if you would like to try it. Let me know if you get more.....

I'm waiting on the troll account to be locked and this thread trashed.

2gigs in 2 minutes is more bullshit than you'll find in any run off pond in the world.

I wont touch that program... It doesnt say what its "cleaningup".... I bet you start having issues after this.... This is something you could have done on your own.

Fine .... I ran it on six computers at work before coming home to run it on these... Average space savings on those was 500mb-1.2gb. THATS why I was letting my ARFCOM brothers in on it. If you don't want to try it don't.

BTW..you should look at the date I started at ar15 and the number of posts before calling me a troll.

WHAT is it cleaning up? Internet files? Cookies? Temp files? Compressed files? I have NEVER seen a PC that needed that mch cleaned up, unless it was 4 years old and never did anythign to it..... Im not questioning you, I am questioning the product.

I used doublekiller on a few directories and freed up almost 2 gigs of duplicate files. I'm trying to be more careful and efficient with my folders. I observe my porn collection especially close.

It deleted 1/20th of his porn collection. Just the old stuff that wasn't viewed recently.

My laptop is about 3 years old but I do maintain it fairly well. I do a lot of Arfcom surfing with it. I finds temp files, cookies, offline web pages and thing like that. Yes , you could do it yourself but it takes quite a bit of time and a good knowledge of where windows hides them. It is just a small program that makes the job a lot easier. Now that Dusty has made me feel like an ass I feel really bad for even mentioning it to be honest with you. I know a lot of people on this board know a lot about computers but their are just as many that don't. I have used this program on at least 9 systems in the past 48 hour and it has not harmed any of them.

Tell Dusty to kiss your ass.... Im just suspicious of programs that "clean" your PC out..... But if it works for you, more power to ya.....

Jake isn't trolling with some program that's going to wipe out your hard drives, so remove the tin foil.

I just used it, it didn't hurt anything besides wiping out nearly 700MB of junk.

With around a terabyte of HD space among my computers, who cares about a few gigs?

Right there with you. I still have about 200GB free. Time to start browsing the news groups again.

got around to deleting all that gay porn eh?

In all honesty you could use CCleaner.

Google it and download it. It does clear things up.

Then use Diskeeper and defragment your harddrive.

Someone wrote a program to do what the native Windows 'disk cleanup' already does? Uhm, OK.

Deleting all that porn really freed things up, huh?

How is it better than CrapCleaner? What does it get that CCleaner doesn't get?

NEVER delete porn

Porn gets archived and sorted into folders consisting of date downloaded and type

Hey if I'm wrong, accept my apologies, don't feel like an ass. Usually programs like this are not above board and usually have some sort of virus or worm in them.
