There are many ways to keep a computer in tip-top shape and remove files that only take up unnecessary space on the local drives, and there’s no doubt that CCleaner is one of the best choices.

A new version of CCleaner released today comes to improve the general experience with the app, and even more importantly, it adds better support for Windows 10, Microsoft’s new operating system whose adoption is on the rise these days.

First and foremost, let’s see the general improvements that it brings.

CCleaner 5.13 adds Opera and Chrome media cache cleaning while also improving Google Chrome extension and cache cleaning. In other words, if you’re an avid Google Chrome user, or you’ve already switched to Opera, CCleaner can now help you get rid of browser leftovers easily.

At the same time, the new version also includes optimized 64-bit build architecture, which should lead to noticeable performance and speed improvements. Additionally, it includes improved auto-update checking process and Unicode text support.

Windows 10 goodies

For Windows 10 users, CCleaner 5.13 comes with improved Windows 10 registry cleaning, which is kind of critical to those who want to keep a new PC running at maximum speed.

The application already includes support for Microsoft Edge, the default browser in Windows 10, so if you want to use this one and not jump ship to Google Chrome or Opera, CCleaner can remove traces and unnecessary items too.

With all these improvements, CCleaner becomes an even more advanced app for those who want a one-click system optimization solution, but in case you’re afraid you might lose settings or anything like that, remember to create a backup, and you’re always on the safe side.

The bottom line is that this lightweight yet powerful app remains a top choice for Windows 10 users too, so go ahead and download CCleaner to give it a try right away.
