Man, I remember using this app and checking too many boxes and then it borked my system so bad that I had to reinstall.
I remember using this a lot in my first year of migrating from Windows to Linux. It was engrained into me that my system will degrade if I don’t “clean” it regularly, like on Windows.
Yea indeed no need under Linux
No need under Windows either. Hasn’t been since Windows 98.
Old registry entries definitely slowed Windows down all the way up to Windows 7. I’m not sure if they fixed it with 8 or 10, but I don’t think so since 10 slows considerably after just a few months.
Unless you desperately need to free up room in your tiny SSD to make room for Baldur’s Gate 3. I recently used a tool like this to get rid of a bunch of old logs and things and managed to free up tens of gigabytes of precious space.
Honestly, FileLight and manually deleting folders and files is the way to go.
Anyone else remember how this program got famous?
Was it because of a rm -rf /?
