Advanced Cleaning Tasks
Registry Cleaner
View and remove unconnected registry entries
Using QuickClean’s Registry Cleaner makes maintenance and
troubleshooting of your computer’s registry database a quick and easy
process. It helps you clean the registry database of your PC by showing you
key entries that may refer to files that have moved or no longer exist.
Always be careful deleting registry keys, values and settings. The Registry
Cleaner displays registry entries for programs that are no longer installed in
your computer. This wizard is only designed for maximum end user control,
and not for safety. There are no safeguards in the wizard that would prevent
you from deleting registry entries your computer needs, so always exercise
caution before you decide to select a file to be deleted.
Orphan Files Cleaner
View and remove incomplete applications and dynamic link libraries
The Orphan Files Cleaner uses the Smartlinks Database to identify incomplete
programs and dll files stored in your computer’s hard disk. Programs that
were not installed or uninstalled completely could leave some of their
components on your hard disk. Dynamic Link Library files (dlls) are
specialized files that are used to run programs. These too, could remain on
your computer if a program was not installed or uninstalled completely.
Duplicate Files Cleaner
View and remove duplicate files that appear to be duplicates
The Duplicate File Cleaner is a quick and easy way to locate and view
duplicate files on your computer. Once the files are displayed, determine
which ones you want to delete and follow through the wizard instructions.
