QuickClean Lite directly from your installation CD.
What’s included with McAfee QuickClean?
McAfee QuickClean uses safe and simple wizards to perform its major tasks.
When you use a wizard to clean up your hard disk or manage applications, at
each step you see exactly what you are specifying, and you can go back to
previous screens and change options if you change your mind.
Even if you are an expert computer user, wizards can automate tasks, such as
removing junk files, that would otherwise be time-consuming or error-prone.
McAfee QuickClean wizards
n Remove: Deletes any program you specify, and removes all related
shortcuts and registry entries.

has freed the amount of disk space you specify.
n Application Remnant Cleaner: Helps you remove files remaining in
your computer due to the removal of an application.
n Folder Browser: Analyzes the contents of your hard disk and
