Glary Utilities, CCleaner, Bleachbit and Windows 10 Disk Cleanup #32

Note: The windows Disk Cleaner is being replaced by Windows Storage Sense

These are all cleaning utilities, however before running I run the windows utility, select the drive where windows is installed, right click:

 press Properties >> Disk Cleanup >> Clean up system files

 Running it is essential after a large update, at this time the last one was: "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 (...)", after that update there was 8Gb of old update files.

 After an update also run:

 O&O ShutUP - to restore custom privacy settings for windows that the update will reset
 O&O App Buster - to remove apps that the windows update installed

After all of the above methods are performed, then run cleaning utilities.

BleachBit (free, open source)

note: in the portable version, to choose a language and force it  go to (...)\BleachBit-Portable\share\locale and delete all languages except the one you want.

BleachBit has some unique options:

  System >> Update uninstallers

  Windows Defender >> Backup files

 these options are the only ones that are relevant compared to CCleaner or Glary Utilities, however I only these after using the windows cleaning utility.

 To perform these, just run Preview in main window, then right click on any of the options, choose preview or clean:
