Free hard disk cleaning software for windows

AMUST Disk Cleaner is a free tool that provides the basic functionality for disk cleaning by quickly identifying the largest files and folders on a hard drive, and displaying the results in a convenient view. In a matter of seconds Disk Cleaner calculates recursive folder size (including all files and sub-folders) for all folders on the entire NTFS drive.
It allows drilling down through any particular folder to its subfolders and helps identify space-hungry ones. When a clean-worthy folder has been identified, the tool launches native Windows Explorer against the folder. Than Explorer can be used to do the actual cleaning. Cleaning could mean deleting, moving to DVD or compressing (in rare cases).
AMUST Disk Cleaner introduces a unique Instant Disk Access (IDA) technology. IDA provides an unprecedented speed and can scan any size hard drive and determine the size of files and folders as well as other attributes within seconds. The IDA technology is based on proprietary knowledge of Master File Table (MFT) of NTFS volumes.

Hard Drive Powerwash 1.0 is a useful and easy to use utility that enables its users to remove file clutter from their systems quickly and easily. What is file clutter? File Clutter generally refers to files created by programs for temporary use. Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and others routinely save the content of every page they visit. Including images, text, script, cookies among others. In fact most Windows software create temporary files that are no longer needed but often not removed. Performance: In simple terms, Windows maintains a list of all files on the hard drives, the longer the list, the longer it takes to access the files they need. This directly affects the computers speed. Privacy: Another aspect to consider is privacy. Everything they do on the computers is stored in these files. By removing this clutter they in effect protect the privacy.
