Unused program finder
Shows programs you haven’t opened in more than 60 days, so deciding what to uninstall is easy.
Features
Every tool your Windows PC needs. One small app.
CleanSweep brings clean uninstalls, junk cleanup and everyday maintenance together in one lightweight app. Every feature follows the same rules: you review before anything is removed, everything is backed up, and you can always restore.
Clean uninstall FreePro
CleanSweep always runs a program’s own uninstaller first and waits until it has truly finished. Only then does it scan for what was left behind.
Some uninstallers, such as NSIS and Inno Setup ones, copy themselves to a temporary folder and close the original window right away. Many tools start scanning too early and miss what comes after. CleanSweep waits for the real uninstaller to finish.
- Free: uninstall one program at a time, with a standard scan of leftover files, folders, registry keys and shortcuts.
- Pro: select several programs and uninstall them in one go, with a deep scan that also covers services, scheduled tasks, PATH entries, firewall rules, COM/ProgID/TypeLib registrations and file associations.
- Filter the list, for example programs with an install log, programs whose uninstaller is missing, or programs installed in the last 30 days.

Force uninstall Pro
Force uninstall removes a program whose uninstaller is broken, missing or fails every time. CleanSweep tracks down the program’s pieces and removes them methodically instead.
Every item still goes through SafetyGuard, carries a confidence level and is backed up before removal, just like a normal uninstall. If something turns out to be needed, restore it in one click.
Made for situations like these
- Clicking Uninstall says the uninstaller can’t be found
- The uninstaller hangs, closes itself or shows an error every time
- The program folder was deleted, but the entry is still in the app list
- A half-finished installation that can’t be removed the normal way
Install monitor Pro
The install monitor records your PC before and after you install a new program, so you know exactly what the installer added.
CleanSweep snapshots files, registry, services and scheduled tasks before and after installation and keeps the difference as an install log. When you uninstall that program later, every piece the installer created can be removed.
Start monitoring
Click Start before you install. CleanSweep records the current state of your PC.
Install as usual
Run the installer and go through its steps the way you always do.
Click Finish
CleanSweep compares before and after and saves the list of what was created, ready for a complete uninstall.
Remove apps that come with Windows Pro
Remove Microsoft Store apps and preinstalled bloatware you never use, such as news, games and promotional apps, with a recommended list to make it easy.
You can also stop removed apps from being installed again for new user accounts on the same PC. Handy for a new computer, or one shared by a family or a small office.
Careful by design
- Recommendations focus on apps most people don’t use and that Windows doesn’t need
- You see and choose every item before anything is removed
- Removed apps can be reinstalled from the Microsoft Store as usual
Junk cleanup, without the risk FreePro
Only temporary files, caches and files the system can recreate on its own. Your documents, passwords, cookies and settings are left alone, risky folders are skipped, and junctions are checked before every delete.

Startup apps FreePro
Turn off programs that launch with Windows for no good reason, so your PC starts faster and uses less memory.
CleanSweep enables and disables entries using the same mechanism as Task Manager, so you can switch them back on anytime. It covers the registry Run keys, the Startup folder and scheduled tasks that run at sign-in or boot, and it can remove broken entries that point to files that no longer exist.
Startup advisor Pro
No more guessing. The advisor tells you which items are safe to disable, which ones to keep, and why, such as an app’s updater or the driver software for your hardware.
- A plain-language reason for every suggestion
- You always decide; nothing is turned off for you
Smart Scan and Smart Clean FreePro
Smart Scan checks your PC in one pass and gives you a cleanliness score, with a list of what deserves attention: junk you can remove, startup apps you can disable, and leftovers.
- Free: see the score and every result, then handle each item with the free tools.
- Pro: one tap on Smart Clean takes care of all the safe items at once.

System-wide leftover repair Pro
Find what’s left over from programs that were removed or moved long ago, even ones you never uninstalled with CleanSweep.
- Broken shortcuts that point to missing files
- Orphaned entries in the installed programs list
- App Paths, SharedDLLs and firewall rules that point to files that no longer exist
- Empty folders left behind by programs
- WinSxS cleanup using Windows’ own DISM tool, instead of risky manual deletion
Large file finder Free
See which files take up the most space, then decide yourself whether to keep, move or delete them. CleanSweep never deletes personal files on its own.
Restore anything Always free
Every registry, service, scheduled task and PATH change is backed up, and files go to the Recycle Bin by default. Open Restore and roll back in a click. Restoring stays free, even if you stop using Pro.
Set it up the way you’re comfortable with
The important options live in Settings, and the defaults are already the safest choice.
Restore point
Create a System Restore point before uninstalling.
Recycle Bin or permanent
Files go to the Recycle Bin by default. If that isn’t possible, CleanSweep always asks before deleting permanently.
All user profiles
Also scan other accounts on the PC; those items are always marked Unsure.
Automatic cleanup
Schedule a weekly junk cleanup with Task Scheduler (Pro).
