Ccleaner

The favorite cleaner for computers and laptops also has a version for Android. It works in a very similar way. Requires only pressing a button to advance in the general cleaning of temporary files, browsing history, and call and SMS logs. It also works as a performance manager, showing CPU, RAM, and storage performance, mobile temperature, and battery performance. It is an app designed for occasional users, as those with experience will prefer greater control over what is deleted and preserved.

To optimize your Android device using the classic Ccleaner app follow the steps below:

First step

Download and install the Ccleaner app by following the link below:

Google Play | Ccleaner

Second step

Then open the Ccleaner app and tap the “Get started” button.

Third step

After that, tap the “Start here” button. Next, you must enable 2 permissions that will be of vital importance for the correct functioning of the app.

Fourth step

Next, tap the “Scan for junk” button. Then tap “see results”.

Fifth step

Finally, a menu will be displayed where you can select the junk files that you can delete. Once you have selected them, just tap the “Finish cleaning” button.

Dr. Fone Data Eraser

A complete wizard that automates the cleaning of your Smartphone. In a few clicks, it removes useless files from your phone. It also protects your privacy, with special phone transfer, data erase, and phone manager functions. Its interface is elegant and versatile, but it has a negative point as it consumes quite a lot of battery if left running in the background.

App Cache Cleaner

This app is much more modest, but it perfectly fulfills the function of other cleaner apps on Android. It is focused on the cache memory of applications, being able to delete files that are stored in each application. You can identify in a few seconds that apps consume memory and set reminders to make a scheduled cleaning. It is easy to use and in one touch does the cleaning, but only works with cache files.

1 Tap Cleaner

Its name is quite descriptive, it is a 1 tap app that cleans the cache, browsing history, and call log. Each of the sections is highlighted for precise and quick control when applying cleanings. The user can schedule customized cleaning intervals, seeking to maintain optimal performance of the mobile at all times. The app is easy to use and completely free but lacks additional functions. It is a one-off assistant to keep certain aspects of the phone clean and without overloading it with unnecessary files.

If you missed a major controversy about CCleaner, it’s time to remind that again. We already covered how CCleaner was about to force the users to submit personal information to their servers. That’s not acceptable in today’s world where privacy is a MAJOR concern for everyone, especially after losing trust to Facebook. Moreover, you couldn’t terminate the app completely just by closing it! You had to go through the “Task Manager” for successfully terminating the app. You may already guessed the reaction from the community. This problematic version – CCleaner v5.45 was deleted officially.

Thankfully, due to the large community base, Piriform had to take quick action. Now, CCleaner v5.46 is available with really positive changes. Today, let’s take a look at the new tool.

Transparency everywhere

Here’s what new in the CCleaner v5.46.

Let’s take a look at the new CCleaner.

Everything looks just normal, right? Go to Options >> Privacy.

There’s the option to opt out of the data collection policy. As a part of the update, Piriform also ensured to disclose what data they will collect.

There’s no “Active Monitoring” anymore. It’s now “Smart Cleaning”.

However, like other versions, CCleaner is still offering bundle software like in this screenshot –

If you want to get no such issues, just the tool, then consider getting the “Slim” version. You can the latest “Slim” CCleaner here.

Recently, Piriform – the company that develops and maintains CCleaner, had to face a major setback. Things have changed for the better scenario now, thanks to privacy-loving people all over the world!

What’s the problem?

CCleaner is actively developed and distributed by Piriform. Recently, Piriform pushed the latest version of CCleaner – v5.45 to the web. Updating a software regularly is important to add new features and keeping the tool compatible with all the changes and tweaks to the system and others.

After the release of v5.45, users found out that the “Active Monitoring” feature on the tool was collecting user data without the consent of the users! That’s a huge step that Piriform took, to be honest!

To make things worse, there was no way of disabling the feature. Those privacy-loving people would never become assured of the fact that CCleaner was collecting data without notification. In the previous versions, users were able to disable the sending of anonymous usage info to Piriform.

Another worsening factor is, closing the app wouldn’t kill the process. Instead, it would minimize to system tray and sit there. Without killing through Task Manager, it wasn’t possible. With a huge user base, you can easily imagine the situation – thousands of people getting raged over the new policy.

The fix

In the face of huge protest, Piriform had to take v5.45 down. Now, the latest version of CCleaner you can get is v5.44.

Hopefully, Piriform won’t do such thing in the future.
