Latest CCleaner Version Released

[bbinnard]

Agreed. The Metro interface is one of the worst ideas Microsoft ever had. Not only is it unimaginative and unattractive, it also takes up too much screen space with useless single-color pixels.

Metro: Bah Humbug to you.

It's a shame all the developers have decided that that interface is "modern". If the app works, I can take it. A Guy

Mate I really don't like it for the most part but the 8.1 can be run in 7 style what I don't really like is the change to backup and restore to Recovery and File options and I particularly don't like the msconfig set up tabs etc etc it makes it hard to easily find what you want.

CCleaner v5.0 is now available in Beta!

After months of design, development and testing we are very excited to announce that CCleaner v5.0 is available to download in Beta!

CCleaner v5.0 sees a change with a redesigned, modern interface. The current interface you know and love has remained largely the same since its first release almost 10 years ago, so we decided it was time to give it a fresh new look!

Our design team have worked hard to bring CCleaner up-to-date while making sure it still felt like the same tool that our hundreds of millions of users love. We are extremely happy with the result, and we hope you are too!

For advanced users we have a beta version of CCleaner v5 available for you to download. (We don't recommend using this outside of test environments.)

This build includes just the interface change. The other features will be coming over the next week, with a final release build at the end of the month.

Bill I just tried ti and it is really quite an improvement I think but it slammed up a warning not to run it on SSD's so what is the go there I thought CC always cleaned anything??

 

[A Guy]

Unsure, perhaps a generic warning for wiping drive space? A Guy

Don't remember the exact wording mate I will send you a pic

 

[A Guy]

Ahhh, yes, a prudent warning. That function is for a spinner drive. It would result in a large number of writes to a SSD, and not accomplish the desired result. A Guy

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Yes a pity Bill as I found it really quick and vert thorough so what have we been doing to the SSD's up t now?? as I am sure I have mine ticked. No just checked I just have the 7 pass clean checked

 

[A Guy]

Have you been using that function? I always had it unchecked Obviously hasn't borked your SSD, but has perhaps shortened it's life. A Guy

No mate I have never consciously ticked it I thought it scanned he drives - shows how good I am eh??

 

[A Guy]

Well, there is a tool



AND there is a setting



I think the setting is unchecked by default. And you'd have to knowingly use the tool. Checking the setting give a warning



But it doesn't mention SSDs. Checking to wipe with the tool does give a warning on SSDs



Interesting, I just have never had reason to wipe free space, nor thought it a good idea on my SSD.

EDIT: I see you have to set the parameters in Settings for the wipe setting, and it will indeed throw up the SSD warning. So it has always been there.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Hmm good job you saw that Bill I have never set the wipe space not even with spinners how it got like that is either a miss type by me or some setting that crept in.

There was a similar discussion here

I'm not sure that running it rarely would damage the SSD but it is claimed above that trim enabled SSDs don't leave the deleted files behind. You could have old files lying around if you have system protection turned on and I don't think wiping deleted space will get rid of these.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

yes I hadn't thought of that anyway either.

New CCleaner 5.00.5050 released. See first post for more details.

Hideous W8-Style GUI

"New improved GUI"?
The new GUI is hideous.

hideous
adjective

1. horrible or frightful to the senses; repulsive; very ugly:

"a hideous monster."
​

It seems that a few other people aren't impressed either.
CCleaner v5.00.5050 looks like **** - CCleaner Discussion - Piriform Community Forums
5.0 UI is a step backwards - CCleaner Discussion - Piriform Community Forums

 

[OvenMaster]

It would appear that Piriform is attempting to make the icons/GUI look like Win 8. Fail.

 

[A Guy]

Yeah, I knew from the Beta it wasn't going to look good. But since it's still the same layout, and choices are few, and I only see it for a dew moments...eh.

[andrew129260]

Every app is going with that new hideous 8 ui. And it is absolutely horrible.

 

[lehnerus2000]

W8 has a lot to answer for.
