Quick Introduction

Step 1: Configure System Cleaner Options

Select the "Options" button on the left panel and browse trough the various options available. All changes are saved so you only need to do this once.
Most of the default settings are appropriate for the average user so you probably won't need to change anything.

On the Temporary Files page you can select candidate file patterns... It is in this page that you to specify exactly what kind of files to search for and where to search for them.

Both the Temporary Files and Duplicate Files options contains a list of disk drive root paths that can be checked or unchecked. This means that when a path is marked as checked, then that directory folder and all folders in the hierarchy below it will be scanned for files. You check or uncheck a path by clicking on the square to the left of the item.
 

Step 2: Scanning disk for candidate files...

In this step there is not much for you but to watch. System Cleaner will automatically search the specified root paths (plus subfolders) for the selected file types.

To do this select the "Clean My Computer" button on the left panel and also select the utility you wish to use.

When done, it will play a beep, and enable the "Clean All" and "Clean Selected" buttons and the delete options will also be displayed. You can interrupt a search by pressing the "Stop" button.
As candidate files are found, they will be presented in a list. On the top of this list youÆll see some statistics about the found candidates and total number of scanned files.

Step 3: Clean up files!

Now that the candidates have been found, itÆs up to you to delete them! But System Cleaner will help ease this task for you. All the candidates are presented (with full path names) in an alphabetically sorted list. Simply select one or more files in the list and hit one of the buttons above to Delete (permanently û no undo), Recycle (move to the recycle bin, undo/restore is possible), Backup and Delete or ZIP and Delete (this last two options allow to restore the files at a later time using the Restore Wizard).
If a file path is too long to fit in the æFull pathÆ column, either resize the column by adjusting the width of the column header, or do a æslow double-clickÆ on the file and youÆll be able to view the whole path. The reason that the deletion process canÆt be automatic is that the candidate search is not 100% secure. There may be files listed as candidates that you wish to keep and absolutely not delete. It is up to your discretion. Normally there will never be any problem though û just be sure to take a look at the files before you delete them!
