CCleaner is the longtime system-cleaning utility from Piriform (now under Avast) that removes junk files, clears browser traces and optimizes startup on Windows, macOS and Android. It offers a free tier plus paid Pro versions for users who want real-time monitoring and priority support.
Key benefits
Product details
Windows cleaning
CCleaner for Windows focuses on removing temporary files, cleaning the registry, and managing startup programs. The tool scans browsers, system caches and common app folders to reclaim disk space. Users can schedule automatic cleans or run manual sweeps; the Pro version enables background monitoring and automatic updates for fewer performance interruptions.
Mac & Android
CCleaner provides macOS and Android apps tailored to each platform: Mac users get disk and privacy cleaners plus app management, while the Android app clears cache, removes residual files and monitors storage usage. Mobile features are streamlined for on-device cleanup and battery-friendly operation, helping casual users keep devices responsive without deep technical knowledge.
Pro & business tools
The Professional and Business editions add real-time monitoring, automatic updates, and priority customer support. Business solutions offer volume licensing and centralized deployment options for IT teams, plus optional bundles with other Piriform utilities. Delivery is digital: licenses and downloads are managed online with straightforward activation keys for single or multiple-seat installs.
