Clean out old PC files for free with Wise Disk Cleaner

This month’s print issue of TechNet points out Wise Disk Cleaner, a free PC application that helps clean out old files on your computer. You can certainly get by with utilities included with Microsoft Windows, but Wise Disk Cleaner offers up some nice options. If you just want to search for and potentially remove files with a certain extension, you can do that. Want a full scan of files and then the ability to pick and choose by file? You can do that too. Need to remove cookies, temp files, Windows Update install files and more? No problem; they can go to your Recycle Bin for review or get permanently deleted. All activities you take with the application are logged as well, giving you a usable history of what’s gone and when. Might be worth a look to reclaim some space as needed or for running in Automatic Mode so you can skip the worrying.
