About QuickClean Lite
The QuickClean Lite wizard enables you to clean your computer of
unnecessary files and free valuable hard disk space.
You can use the QuickClean Lite wizard to perform any of the following

type are stored in folders called Temporary Internet or Cache folders.
n Remove Shortcuts without an associated program, application,
hypertext link, etc.
n Delete lost file fragments.
n Delete Windows Registry information, shortcuts, and system file
references for applications that no longer exist on your computer.
n Delete temporary files.
n Remove deleted and sent messages from a Microsoft supported e-mail
client (i.e.: Outlook, Outlook Express).
n Delete Most Recently Used shortcuts.
How QuickClean Lite works
First, the user selects the types of files they wish to remove from their
computer. Next, the QuickClean Lite wizard scans the contents of the hard
disk and identifies all files meeting the user-selected criteria.
The user proceeds with the cleaning task if they are satisfied with the results
of the scan. Finally, QuickClean Lite provides a graphic representation of the
amount of reclaimed space after deleting the files.
NOTE
Deleted files are not backed up. You cannot restore files deleted by
QuickClean Lite.
