I did test Glarys stand-alone disk cleaner some years back and, at that time, it did not come up to par with other free disk cleaners.

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.

That still holds true today and I guess CCleaners reputation for safety is what keeps people using it.

Wise Disk Cleaner Portable Version For

Personally, I havent 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: I had heard that CCleaner had moved into the dark side since being acquired by Avast but this was the first time Id witnessed proof of that firsthand.

Anyway, Ive 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.

Wise Disk Cleaner Free And Portable I admit that I havent been overly complimentary toward Wise software in the past, especially when they were bundling the awful Ask toolbar.

However, Wises 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 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.

First off, here is a comparison between CCleaner and Wise Disk Cleaner, both at default settings (out of the box) and in analysis mode so both cleaners are scanning a system which is in the exact same state: As you can see from the screenshots, CCleaner identified 273 MB of junk compared to Wise Disk Cleaners 630.88 MB.

The Advanced Cleaner in Wise Disk Cleaner found a further 169.8 MB of junk mainly.chk,.tmp, and.dmp files so the difference in real terms is that Wise Disk Cleaner would clean up just over 800 MB of junk files close to thre times CCleaners total.

The Slimming System tab provides more options for cleaning even more unnecessary files in my case, almost 460 MB worth.

Wise Disk Cleaner also includes a scheduler to automate the cleaning process.

Users can choose between Daily, Weekly, and Monthly, plus select a specific day of the week and time.

Of course, Wise Disk Cleaner does not include the multiple tools available with CCleaner but it is clearly vastly superior at performing the primary chore of drive cleaning.

NOTE: A special mention for PrivaZer which, in my opinion, still rates as the best cleanupprivacy tool available.

However, PrivaZers ultra-deep cleaning can also, potentially, cause issues for less experienced users, hence my current recommendation for Wise Disk Cleaner as 1.

They just came out with a whole new complete rewrite, but alas it does not have all the tools it used to.

I think it does what it does do very well and suspect it will grow again.

Theyve been rewriting it for a number of years and have kept the users well informed along the way.

If you decide to try it Id be interested in hearing what you think of it.

Personally, I wouldnt spend that sort of money when there are so many very good free alternatives available.
