    CCleaner also hasn’t been necessary since at least Windows 7. I remember working in a PC repair shop when people would just arbitrarily run CCleaner on its most aggressive settings whether it was needed or not and it would always break more things than it fixed.

      And even if it was, why tf have it open on startup? It should be run like, manually once a month at most.

      I mostly used it to clear out various caches and cookies, and invalid or no longer necessary file type extensions, folders and so on.

      Was very handy for that, and usually freed up a surprising amount of disk space (back when a few gigs more or less made a huge difference)
