Ace Cleanman5.3

Ace Cleanman is an application designed to scan the computer for junk files to remove, in order to free up space, declutter the hard disk and ultimately improve system performance.In addition to various Windows files, it's capable of cleaning Firefox and Internet Cache, as well as any folder contents you point out.

Setup and interface

After a speedy setup operation that shouldn't give you any trouble, you're greeted by a user-friendly interface made from a standard window with a clear-cut structure.Administrative privileges might be required to avoid startup errors. It also gets integrated with Windows Explorer for quick access.

Clean files after customizing file types and paths

The items targeted for cleanup are the temporary folder, Windows error reports, update temporary files, hotfixes and patches, DVD burn and ReadyBoost cache, search database and index, Windows Media Player cache, Firefox cache and unsafe URL database contents, and others. Any of these items can be excluded from the cleaning scope.Furthermore, you can review the file types identified by the tool (e.g. .log, .tmp, .old, .bak, .chk), add new ones, and create a list with files to remove by full filename. Custom paths can be indicated for finding files and folders to delete as well as for excluding objects.

Configure general settings

Moreover, the app can be asked to autostart the cleaning operation on launch, display search results or exit on task completion, auto-empty the Recycle Bin, save log details for several days to give you enough time to review statistics, and so on. The right-click menu entry in Windows Explorer can be disabled. Settings can be restored to default.

Finally

To wrap it up, Ace Cleanman comes bundled with some advanced options for removing a wide range of unnecessary files from the computer, along with custom items. Its interface could use some improvements in the graphical department, though. CPU and RAM usage was minimal in our tests.
