wevsspot Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 I've actually borked a computer by running CCleaner, let the registry cleaner run and just nonchalantly clicked yes remove all 'problems', then rebooted and it wouldn't start and of course I didn't back up the regististry. That being said if you you backup the registry not act like an idiot you should be fine. If used it a few times since then with no issues. Also you can be conservative with the registry scan settings in Ccleaner. Point it specifically towards applications, application paths and software for example. I'd be wary of messing with missing/shared DLLs, type libraries etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prunes Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I'm suprised that Window's own diskcleaner hasn't been mentioned. I've used CCcleaner for a couple of years, but stopped after getting my new computer about a year ago. Since then I've only used Windows diskcleaner once in a while, and to be honest, I can feel no difference at all. I know it doesn't clean the registry, but is that really necessary as mentioned by Waco? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renigade Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) CC Cleaner used here as well, never had a problem with it. it does a great job of cleaning Reg after you delete a game or program with just the basic settings.

VaporX Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Registry Cleaners on the whole are placebos that have no real effect, in fact I have seen them cause harm more than every actually help. CCleaner is a great program but it is great for it's ability to clean junk files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher23 Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 It is also used to uninstalls the useless programs. Nowadays safe registry cleaner is necessary for a computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
