About PC Junk Cleaner
Windows collects junk: temporary files installers forget, update downloads it already installed, crash reports nobody reads, and browser caches that grow for years. PC Junk Cleaner finds it and sweeps it away without touching anything a program still needs.
Look first
Click the robot vacuum and it looks in 11 places: your temp folder, Windows' temp folder, Windows Update downloads, the Delivery Optimization cache, crash dumps and error reports, the Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Firefox caches, the thumbnail cache, the graphics shader cache and the Recycle Bin. Windows only lets an administrator clean its own temp folder, Windows Update downloads and the Delivery Optimization cache, so those three are offered when you run the app as administrator. A scan only looks. Every category shows its size, and you can open one to see its 40 largest files and show any of them in File Explorer.
Then sweep
Check what should go and click the robot again. Its dust bin empties as it works, and when it is done it tells you how much it freed and what it left behind.
Safe by design
Temporary and update files newer than 1, 7 or 30 days are left alone, your choice. If anything in a temp folder is recent, the whole folder stays, so an installer never loses half of its files. Every file another program has open is skipped. Shortcuts and junctions are never followed out of the folders being cleaned. A browser's cache is skipped while that browser is open. The Recycle Bin is only emptied when you check it, and asks first.
Your choice
Remove files for good, or send them to the Recycle Bin so you can take one back. Stop a scan or a clean at any time.
Everything happens on this PC. There is no account, nothing is uploaded, and it works with no connection.
