Ccleaner registry cleaner good or bad upgrade#

But in real life when you upgrade things or uninstall things the upgrade or uninstall software might be crap in which case it can leave stuff behind in the registry which can stop other things working.Can you give a (solid) example ?Ĭleaning the registry for the first time has speeded up my 3 year old laptop - fact! Placebo effect :) CCleaner is noting that there are entries pointing to something that no longer exist even though your system no longer use it. However, most of what Cleaner does isn't needed. CCleaner's registry cleaning is much safer that that of other registry cleaners, bot none of them is completely safe. CCleaner is a good choice as it is not too much intrusive. Some times, during updates and/or new software installations, old DLLs files are replaced with new ones but entries of the locations of old ones remain logged in the registry. It is completely safe as long as you don't us its registry cleaning functionality. If you want absolutely use a reg cleaner. When you have a problem with the registry base. I can't remember what the 3rd party alternative was. The built-in Disk Clean-up does an okay job if you're looking to free up space (not registry though).

According to the company website, the program has been downloaded more than 2.5 billion times, which clearly. So using a 'registry cleaner' is far more dangerous than just leaving the registry alone.+1 CCleaner is an excellent option for those looking for a basic free registry cleaner. And changes to registry entries should be limited to the programs that created those entries in the first place, otherwise bad things can happen. It's very small and doesn't take up much space on the system.
