Managed Disk Cleanup

Cleaning up the hard drive from time to time is a good way to keep your system running smoothly for a long time. There are numerous cleanup applications out there, but if you want to keep things simple, you can turn to Managed Disk Cleanup. This lightweight utility is almost identical to the basic disk cleanup tool that comes by default in Windows. However, the application comes with a few extra options, and it's also open source, so you can see what makes it tick and develop your own utilities based on this one.

Managed Disk Cleanup is offered completely free of charge, and it works on all modern Windows platforms. It doesn't ask for any special tools or services, and it doesn't use a noticeable amount of resources. What's more, you can just extract the application from an archive and run it, without going through an installation process.

Once you run the application, you only need to decide what data to remove from your hard drive, tick the corresponding checkboxes and hit the OK button. As previously mentioned, the user interface is almost identical to that of the default disk cleaner you get with the Windows operating system, so you should feel right at home.

Just like the base utility, Managed Disk Cleanup shows you the amount of disk space each data type takes up. It only takes a few seconds to remove the junk files, regardless of how many they are and how much space they use. Although it doesn't bring much to the table, the software still has a few advantages when it comes to its functionality, mainly the fact that it's open source and can be expanded with new features.

Managed Disk Cleanup looks simple on the surface, but it has the potential of being an excellent cleanup tool for your system.
