How to choose a good disk cleaner
In the last post I told about why it is necessary to have a disk cleaner on the computer. In this post I’ll tell you about how to choose a reliable disk cleaner.
First of all, it is necessary to be defined with choice criteria of the program. What is the most important in the program for you, what properties are necessary for you in current activity? As the practice shows traditional choice criteria of the program are functionality and interface.
The program functionality shows what a program is able to do. These are its functions. It is a main reason why you choose a program. They are its properties which should help you with solution of your problems.
What should multifunctional disk cleaner have? Firstly it should be able to work with the useless files occupying your disk space. The more dust files the program distinguishes the better it is. We’ve called them: junk files, duplicate files, temp Internet files, temp system files, incorrect shortcuts, etc. All these files occupy disk space not bringing any advantages. That’s why a good disk cleaner should find and delete all these files from the PC. Also pay attention to the program that offers a set of additional functions besides disk clean up. For example Moleskinsoft Disk Cleaner has functions of system and file manager and many other functions. Besides, presence of additional options is too plus.
The program interface is connected with its appearance, design and convenience of navigation. The good program should have an user-oriented interface – the user should find the needed button without problems and understand principles of program work. Here are some advices:
a) Pay attention to the program support service – an option “help”, a support service, etc.
b) Look if there are difficult menu panels with tens commands in the program or the basic options are interactive. The second variant is more preferable.
c) Having worked with the program for 5 minutes, tell to yourself whether you’ve understood principles of its work and navigation. If not – the program doesn’t have the convenient interface.
d) Pay attention how much interactive work in the program is: a support service (look above), possibility to receive reports on results etc.
Following these advices you’ll be able to choose that disk cleaner which will serve you for many years.
