1-abc.net Hard Drive Washer 5.00

Windows and nearly all other software that is installed on it produce temporary data. Unfortunately there are not many programs that really take care about consequences of saving temporary files to different places, with different extensions or without always deleting when possible or necessary. This program does what all these programs forget. It searches for unnecessary files and offers you to delete them.

We look forward to read your ideas how to improve the program!

Add Data Shredding / Wiping Capability to Securely Erase the Temp Files

A feature that could be added is the ability to "shred" or "wipe" the files after they are deleted. Basically, shredding a file just means writing data patterns over the drive sectors that the deleted files used to occupy. For instance, writing...

Have your programmers recode your program to ignore 'install.log', 'update.log', and system '.dll' files, and system sound files to prevent damaging host machines.

Move the rewards to a separate webpage, it looks rediculous especially because it lacks the leading software sites.

Make the GUI with a full windows GUI

Make it resizable so you can make it bigger to more easily see the paths of the files to delete. (it is a pain to stretch the dialog INSIDE the window and then scroll)

Make the default drive the windows drive.

Don't assume that C:\ is the main drive. Consider that some poeple have multiboot systems.

I would like to do a search, and remove files from each category, ie. temp files, log files, images and other files, by going back a stage, not having to do a new search to remove each section. (Unless I am doing something wrong, but I have not...

Update UI, add shrink option

I would like to suggest that the authors also include the newer type of "buttons" that are so prevalent in todays' windows' programs. Also, all of my hard drives are 1TB or larger (14+ in all) - and to "search them" might take quite a long period...

Emphasize how your product is superior to the alternatives

Many of the negative comments concern comparisons with free alternatives, CCleaner for example. First, maybe the Project team could emphasize how their product is superior to these alternatives. Secondly, maybe the Project team could include anothe

Adjust deleting options

have you employ a 'red, yellow, or green' system to help us identify which files users might want to exercise caution about deleting, and provide more details about the files you provide us with options for including or excluding in your deletion pro

Add a feature that will allow all temporary files to be automatically placed on the drive and folders of choice, to speed up C drive and to facilitate easy removal and/or retrieval. Of course, your programming and design/writing expertise would demon
