system cleanup tool AppCleaner is a system cleaning tool that can help you clean your computer of Internet traces (cache, cookies, history typed URLs etc.), temporary files, computer usage tracks and many other "junk" files. In addition to the predefined cleaning options, you can also define custom file and folder locations that should be cleaned during the process (with an option to limit cleaning to older files). Other features include a built-in Startup Manager, Uninstall Helper, secure deletion, files/folders to ignore and optional wiping of free disk space.Although well featured, AppCleaner does not clean as thorough as other apps, it seems to consistently have issues with files that it claims are in use although other cleaner apps were able to delete them without problems.
