Let\u2019s go through what you should consider before choosing the best computer cleaner for you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Features:<\/b> Identify the features that are most important to you. Do you just want to get rid of junk files, or do you want additional features like uninstallation, hard drive security, and privacy protection? When finding the best PC cleaner, compare the specific features they offer for free.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cost:<\/b> Some PC cleaners for free offer more free features than others. Checking the programs that ship with the functions on your list for free will help you choose the right one. If you\u2019re looking for advanced features, you may have to pay a cent or two. So, consider which cleaner provides those capabilities at the lowest price possible.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ease of use:<\/b> The best free computer cleaner for you should have intuitive interfaces and not cause unnecessary confusion.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Effectiveness:<\/b> Evaluate how well the free PC cleaner removes junk.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Performance impact:<\/b> You don\u2019t need a free computer cleaner that ends up siphoning your system resources. Lightweight applications are the way to go. However, if you go for programs with more advanced features, ensure they allow you to turn off certain activities, like notifications and background monitoring.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Customer support and updates: <\/b>You may need some help using the tools in certain programs or interpreting reports. The best PC cleaner will offer a decent level of support even for free users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These considerations are not too much for the best PC optimizers. For example, Auslogics BoostSpeed checks most of these boxes, from customer support to cost-effectiveness and ease of use. That\u2019s not to say the best PC optimizers do not have shortfalls. What matters is getting one that meets your needs.<\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5626105816785274\"\r\ncrossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Bottom_CTA -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5626105816785274\" data-ad-slot=\"9260129453\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<h2>Best Free PC Cleaner: Fine-Tuning Your Computer<\/h2>\n<p>Remember that the best computer cleaner will make you feel good about your choice even if you end up paying a small fee for advanced features. Ensure you always weigh your needs over each program\u2019s offerings in its free and paid versions.<\/p>\n<p>Let us know your final choice and the reasons behind your decision.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">Is there a totally free PC cleaner?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\tYes. There are free PC cleaners like BleachBit and Razer Cortex. However, being completely free does not mean they have the best offerings without cost. Some applications, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/software\/boost-speed\/\">Auslogics BoostSpeed <\/a> with paid versions, for example, have more free options and tools. \r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">Are PC cleaners safe?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tMost free computer optimizers are safe and effective. Still, bad actors can create clones or even push malicious programs that are designed to steal information and cause havoc.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">How often should I use a PC cleaner?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tThe best PC cleaners often run in the background and send notifications whenever there are issues you should address. You can also schedule cleanup sessions to run whenever your computer starts or during periods you use your computer less.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">Do I need to back up my data before using a PC cleaner?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tYou can create restore points when running advanced cleanups like registry defragmentation or cleaning. You should always choose a PC cleaner that displays the files it intends to delete to avoid removing important items.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PC cleaners are programs designed to make your PC perform better.

My tech obsession began with chasing the smoothest gaming performance possible into various optimization rabbit holes. But that didn't stop me from dipping my toes in different ponds, as I've written for travel, human resources, and digital marketing publications over the past 7 years. I started out with a copywriting agency after pursuing a diploma in computer science. Since then, I've gone freelance, participated in different tech workshops, and found better ways to achieve peak gaming performance. I now enjoy pursuing the latest in computer technology, so I can tell readers when to hold their horses or hop on new trends. I also help people resolve the most frustrating operating system, gaming, and application errors. These experiences and the brilliant folks at Auslogics continue to enrich my articles and deepen my love for computers.

My tech obsession began with chasing the smoothest gaming performance possible into various optimization rabbit holes. But that didn't stop me from dipping my toes in different ponds, as I've written for travel, human resources, and digital marketing publications over the past 7 years. I started out with a copywriting agency after pursuing a diploma in computer science. Since then, I've gone freelance, participated in different tech workshops, and found better ways to achieve peak gaming performance. I now enjoy pursuing the latest in computer technology, so I can tell readers when to hold their horses or hop on new trends. I also help people resolve the most frustrating operating system, gaming, and application errors. These experiences and the brilliant folks at Auslogics continue to enrich my articles and deepen my love for computers. You can reach out and follow me on LinkedIn to learn about the most exciting tech news and solutions when they drop.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/samuel-mbanaso\/"],"knowsAbout":["Gaming","Windows","Sci-Fi","Politics","Android"],"jobTitle":"Tech Writer","worksFor":"Auslogics","url":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/author\/nzube-samuel\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74255"}],"version-history":[{"count":36,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74255\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":104073,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74255\/revisions\/104073"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
