Cleaning the disk and other locations in Privazer
After the first launch of the program, you will be prompted to select one of the options: Go to the main menu (I use this option) or "Privazer Optimization for your needs."
If you select "Optimization" and pressing the "Next" button, you will spend on all the basic cleaning settings with the possibility of changing them and explanations in Russian about which setting is required for what is required. Upon completion, you can either immediately begin cleaning, or go to the main menu.
The process of simple disk cleaning C computer in Privazer consists of the following steps:
- In the main menu, select "In-depth scanning", and then the "Computer" item.
- In the next window, choose which data it is necessary to clean. Pay special attention To "create a recovery point", "save the registry", "not to clean the registry" on the right below. I would recommend to mark them all, as well as remove the mark with the "Registry" in the list. Reason: Cleaning the registry does not exempt the noticeable number of space, and in some cases it leads to problems with the operation of the system and some programs - this is not the option that I would recommend using.
- After the selection, click "Scanning" and wait for the data retrieval to be cleaned. After the search is executed, click the "Clear" button.
- You can choose the type of cleaning. I recommend choosing "Quick Erase", as long as you need a simple cleaning of the disc and is not required to "rubbing" of all the deleted data can not be recovered.
- It will remain waiting for cleaning. The process can be long, during cleaning the program will also launch the built-in tool for cleaning Windows.
Upon completion, you will receive information that it is and in what quantity it was cleared.
As a result, it cleans Privazer well and deletes a lot from the fact that other similar programs are not found. Wherein I recommend very carefully To the actions performed in the program - cleaning the disk in this kind of utilities occasionally can lead to undesirable consequences.
Among the additional options available in the main menu:
- The possibility of cleaning other disks and external drives in the section "In-depth scanning".
- Deleting residues in the registry, program use history and, which is very useful - USB device stories (can be useful if the computer does not see the flash drive).
- Faceless deletion of files (so that they cannot be restored in the future, it may take a lot of time and may not be very useful for SSD).
