Efficiently erases files and folders permanently from a hard drive.
KCleaner is a free tool which can find and then automatically remove unused and useless files from your Windows PC.
The graphical user interface of this permanent deletion application is a little bit basic with its features divided up into manual and automatic modes. There's an additional expert mode that has a few additional options available to clean a system.
Getting started with cleaning, a click of the Automatic Mode button will get the show on the road. Once completed, the list will be populated with files and folders that can be deleted, either all at once or manually by checking them. It will find and delete items from the Recycle Bin, Windows Installer files, temporary files and load of Internet browser history and caches.
The program can recognize temporary and useless files easily and getting the job done involves little effort. KCleaner can also run in the background.
KCleaner also includes an "Expert Mode" which allows you more control over what files the program will remove from your system.
In conclusion, the program can be useful in certain situations, not least of which include lacking enough free disk space. It can also improve privacy as it deleted temporary files. Of course, many other programs in the same category can do more!
