Instead of CCleaner
CCleaner alternatives
CCleaner brings junk cleanup together with startup management, driver updates, scheduled maintenance, privacy tools, and support for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Its free plan covers standard cleaning, privacy protection, and a basic health check on one device. Paid tiers add features such as automatic cleaning, software updates, and cloud-drive scans; higher plans also include deleted-file recovery or PC hardware details. Professional costs $44.95 per year for one PC, and subscriptions renew automatically. A refund can be requested within 30 days of an initial or anniversary subscription.

You may prefer another option for a free Windows-focused tool, coverage for multiple PCs, or a different mix of maintenance features. CCleaner's platform range is broader than most options here, while several alternatives focus on Windows alone. Free plans and device limits also differ: some alternatives include more devices, and one offers Linux support. When comparing, weigh the operating systems you use, whether you need startup or scheduled tools, the number of devices covered, and which features are available without paying.
