Software Update: CCleaner 5.92

Piriform has released version 5.92 of CCleaner. This program can be used to clean various parts of Windows. This includes temporary Windows and Internet files, but also unnecessary junk from a large number of other programs, including Windows Media Player, Google Toolbar, Microsoft Office, Photoshop, WinRAR and so on. In addition, the number of programs that CCleaner can clean up can easily be expanded with the CCEnhancer program.

In addition to cleaning, CCleaner can also fix errors in the registry and shortcuts, modify the list of programs that start with Windows, and it is possible to manage cookies. From this version, the general condition of the computer can also be tested. In addition to a free version, there is also a pro version, which includes an automatic update function. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Release Notes for version 5.92.9652

In this release, we’ve expanded cleaning for Edge, Firefox and Chrome and renamed some files for better clarity around what CCleaner is cleaning. We’ve also released a preview of our new Performance Optimizer feature to a limited number of CCleaner users for their feedback. This new feature puts apps into ‘Sleep’ mode if they’re not needed to boost system performance.

Expanding our cleaning

• We added cleaning of bookmark backups in Edge and Firefox
• We expanded our Google Chrome ‘Metrics Temp Files’ rule to include Setup Metrics
• We’ve renamed the ‘Windows SubSystems Temp Files’ rule to “Network Data Usage” to make it clearer that this rule removes historical, statistical data about your network usage.

Helping you to keep your PC running smoothly

• We have released a preview of our new Performance Optimizer feature to a small number of users for their feedback
• This new feature is not yet suitable for users of assistive technologies, but will be when fully released
• We expect to make it available to everyone very soon! †
