Over months and even years of using your computer, temporary and unnecessary files rapidly accumulate in hidden areas, such as temporary internet (and non-internet) files, browser caches, recently viewed documents, index.dat files, etc. These occupy valuable disk space, and clutter up your computer, making it far slower than it should be.
The solution? CrapCleaner!
This small program optimises your system by cleaning out unnecessary and unused files on your system, freeing up disk space and unclogging your registry. It also cleans traces of your online activities, such as the browser cache and other aforementioned things. Best of all? It only takes literally a few seconds to run! If you haven't gone through the process of housecleaning your computer before, you can expect CrapCleaner (aka CCleaner) to clean about 500Mb (half a gig of crap!), and all guaranteed under 30 seconds. When a friend was shown this last year, she was blown away that CCleaner emptied out 789Mb of junk in only 17 seconds, and reported faster computer speeds.
Here's where you can download CCleaner (for free!): 
For the geekier among us, ATF cleaner would be the cleaner of choice. A tiny, nifty little program, it is only about a Mb in size and does close to everything that CCleaner can do. Though it doesn't have as graphical a GUI as CCleaner does, it is great for those conscious about disk space. Get it at: http://www.atribune.org/content/view/19/2/
(Heh, I may as well be paid to promote these programs.)
About Me

- ^-rania
- I'm a student studying in Sydney, and I'm fascinated by the way things work, especially computers. I adore helping people out as I find it extremely rewarding. I enjoy web and graphics design, software engineering, and general registry hacks. I seem to know lots about everything, but can't say I'm an expert at it all. I prefer this general state of 'knowing' over being extremely specialised in just one field.
Wow! That's so nifty! I will definitely try that on my PC when I'm bothered. Which will probably be ... never. Or in the school holidays, depending.
Please update soon with more handy hints! Preferably some for Mac :P

Hey Rania
Finally found your blog. I kept typing g33k [space] spot and it would NOT turn up. But then I tried it withOUT a space and hey presto! Anway Ccleaner cleaned up a lot, about 700mb REALLY quickly, dunno what that conversion is but it sure was big. And I found out those "hidden" files were temporary files which ccleaner BUSTED. Thanks a tonne!
