If you run Windows, your operating system, web browsers, and other applications have a tendency to tie up system resources with all sorts of "temporary" files that never seem to get deleted. nCleaner helps you remove thousands of unnecessary files in one fell swoop.

Like other system cleaners, nCleaner lets you clear disk cache, user history files, and also invalid Windows registry settings. But unlike our favorite system cleaner, CCleaner, we're not sure we'd recommend nCleaner for computer novices. Some of the options selected by default could erase user data that you might actually find useful.

For example, if you use the password manager in your web browser, there' s a good chance you'll accidentally delete all of your web site logins the first time you run nCleaner if you don't pay close attention to all of the options. And there are a lot of options, so it's easy to miss a few.

All told, we were able to save a few gigs of space on our test rig with nCleaner, and when we ran CCleaner afterward, it only found a handful of files missed by nCleaner.
