Why it is worth attention

It is a clean-room implementation that deliberately avoids registry cleaning and misleading performance promises, storing user selections and a log for transparency.

Who it is for

Windows 11 users seeking a trustworthy cleaning tool
System administrators needing automated maintenance via command line
Privacy-conscious individuals who want to inspect files before deletion
Developers evaluating simple, open-source system utilities

Use cases

Free up disk space by removing Windows temporary files, thumbnail cache, and browser caches
Automate system cleanup with the /AUTO and /SHUTDOWN command-line options
Inspect and selectively delete files from the Recycle Bin and crash/error reports

Strengths

Portable single executable with no installation required
Open source under GPL v3.0, ensuring transparency and community trust
Stores user selection and logs alongside the program for easy auditing
Explicitly avoids registry cleaning, reducing risk of system instability

Considerations

Designed specifically for Windows 11; compatibility with older Windows versions is not mentioned
Requires browsers to be closed before cleaning their caches
Version 1.2 may have limited feature set compared to more mature tools

README quick start

EasySystemCleaner

Portable, original Windows 11 cleaning utility. Version 1.2 - 2026

The original application icon is included in Assets/EasySystemCleaner.ico and is used by the executable.

Functions

Select and inspect clean-up locations before deletion
Clean Windows temporary files, crash/error reports, thumbnail cache, browser caches and the Recycle Bin
Stores selection and EasySystemCleaner.log next to the executable
Command line: EasySystemCleaner.exe /AUTO (optional /SHUTDOWN after an automatic run)
Publishes as a self-contained single Windows x64 executable

This is a clean-room implementation. It contains no code, visual assets, branding, or cleaning databases from FluentCleaner. It deliberately does not offer registry cleaning or misleading performance claims.

Build portable release

dotnet publish .\EasySystemCleaner.csproj -c Release -r win-x64

The portable executable is placed in bin\Release\net8.0-windows\win-x64\publish.

Safety

Close browsers before cleaning browser caches. The tool only removes files from the explicitly selected locations; review the analysis and keep backups of important data.
