About PowerClean
PowerClean is not a wizard. It is a feature that lets you see files on your
computer, organized into categories, such as Internet Junk, Duplicate Files,
Archives, Multimedia Files, and so on. The feature also displays application
information that is stored in the Windows Registry.
If you are an experienced computer user, you can use PowerClean to manage
files manually. If you are interested in tracking specific files or files in specific
folders, you can even create custom files groups.
Changing QuickClean defaults
As you install QuickClean, you have the chance to change some basic defaults
in the Interview. Later, after QuickClean is installed, you can use the Settings
dialog box to review or change all default settings.
Archive Compresses an application into a backup file that you can
restore whenever you need it again. You can also include data
files that are associated with the application, if there are any.
Move Relocates an application. Completely moves an application
from one drive or folder to another—even to another
computer—and adjusts shortcuts and Registry entries to refer
to the application in its new location.
Transport Packages an application so that you can rebuild it with the
same option settings on another computer. You can also select
and include data files that are associated with the application.
Restore Restores deleted applications or files if backup copies were
created.
You can restore an entire application, a few files from an
application, or a few miscellaneous files, such as those deleted
by Remove or SpaceMaker—but only if backup copies were
created before the files were deleted.
BackTrack Monitors application installation.
Lets you undo the installation of any application if it was
monitored by BackTrack.
SpaceMaker Deletes old files in specific categories until it has freed the
amount of disk space you specify.
