Wise Disk Cleaner is very easy to use and operates in much the same way as any drive cleaner– hit the Scan button for an analysis, then click Clean to remove the listed junk files. I now find Wise Disk Cleaner to be among the very best, and the fact that there is a portable version available is certainly a huge plus. However, Wise’s range of freeware has certainly improved since those early days and they have also cleaned up their act– no more bundled potentially unwanted extras. I admit that I haven’t been overly complimentary toward Wise software in the past, especially when they were bundling the awful ”Ask toolbar”. Anyway, I’ve been using Wise Disk Cleaner (portable) as my default drive cleaner for quite some time now, on my own machines and on clients’ machines, and have found it to be extremely safe and effective. I had heard that CCleaner had moved into the dark side since being acquired by Avast but this was the first time I’d witnessed proof of that firsthand. Personally, I haven’t used CCleaner for years and when I downloaded the free portable version for comparison purposes while compiling this article, the very first thing that happened, on the initial run, was a popup advertising the commercial edition… disappointing: That still holds true today and I guess CCleaner’s reputation for safety is what keeps people using it. However, I proved through a series of articles back in 2012 that just about any other free drive cleaner does a better job than CCleaner. Even the least experienced user can delete unnecessary files with this tool. For many years CCleaner has been the ubiquitous free drive cleaner, trusted and used by millions of people worldwide. Download Wise Disk Cleaner Wise Disk Cleaner is a free, convenient and simple application designed to clean your drive by removing unused files from your system.
