    Is it safe to use tools like ccleaner on an SSD?


    hi, I have just got myself an SSD, I know it is unwise to defrag it but can I use tools like ccleaner without damaging/harming it?

    Thanks,

    Yes. It's safe. However it's not recommended to use CC's registry cleaner module... :)

    My advice is to leave any registry cleaner well alone...

    Hi there
    Why on EARTH would you need to CCLEANER your machine --if your machine is that bad that you feel a need to do this then I would re-install W7 again from scratch on your nice new SSD and add applications as and when you need them.

    Cheers

    er, jimbo - running ccleaner to get rid of some crap is slightly less time consuming than reinstalling the whole OS and software.

    I have use Ccleaner on my ssd without any problems. I do not use any registry cleaner. IMHO if one doesn't keep a ssd clean it will fill up with a lot of junk very quickly. Due to the small size of most ssd's it doesn't take long.

    Same here with my Intel 320 SSD for almost a year now. Thanks to CCleaner there's still < 20GB on the drive.

    It's safe but unless you know what to delete and what not to delete, it's probably best to not use registry cleaners :)
