Putting QuickClean to work
QuickClean uses safe and simple wizards to perform its major tasks. When
you use an QuickClean wizard to clean up your hard disk or manage
applications, at each step you see exactly what you are specifying, and you can
go back to previous screens and change options if you change your mind.
Even if you are an expert computer user, QuickClean wizards can automate
tasks, such as removing junk files, that would otherwise be time-consuming or
error-prone.
To run a QuickClean wizard, click its button in the main QuickClean window.
About QuickClean wizards?
QuickClean wizards simplify cleaning up disk space and managing
applications.
Š
NOTE: Wizards are designed to be easy to understand and to use. Each
wizard screen tells you what you need to know to enter information or
choose options. If you want to know more about a wizard, click Help.
By default, SpaceMaker and Remove wizards create backup copies of files
before they are deleted. Although you can turn off backup creation when you
run the wizard, it is a good idea to make backups. Later, when you are sure
that you do not want to undo any QuickClean actions, you can delete the
backup copy.
