PSA - if you downloaded the free CCleaner software in August, you need to delete it and reinstall a new version. If may be infected with malware.

Windows 10™ 32 bit only. Most users would be 64 I would have thought. Maybe not.

Is that software actually works? I never trusted it anyway.

  Works fine for clearing cache, temp files, cookies etc. I wouldn't trust the registry cleaner though.

  Works great, much better than windows harddrive disk cleanup.
  Definitely frees up a tonne of space if never used on an older PC before.
