What ClearSweep is
ClearSweep is a paid Windows disk space analyzer for files and folders. It presents selected drives in an interactive 270-degree sunburst: click segments to drill into folders and files, or hover to see exact sizes and paths. Win2D DirectX GPU rendering powers the view, with performance depending on the drive and hardware. Before deletion, users can review items and cancel during a five-second countdown. Files go to the Recycle Bin by default, permanent deletion is optional, and protected Windows folders cannot be deleted. ClearSweep scans only drives explicitly selected and only when asked; results remain in memory and disappear when the app closes. It makes no network calls, collects no data, and works offline without an account or third-party services. The app supports Windows 10 version 19041 or later and Windows 11, with updates through the Microsoft Store.
