SCleaner is designed so you always know what will happen before it happens.
Never touched
- Mac:
/System,/Library,/Applications,~/Library(except known cache locations in Junk & caches), hidden files, app bundles, symbolic links and software project folders. - Windows:
C:\Windows, Program Files, ProgramData, the Recycle Bin folder, System Volume Information and AppData (except a fixed list of caches). Symbolic links and junctions are not followed.
How changes happen
- Every change is listed in a confirmation dialog first.
- Each file is re-checked right before it changes. If it was modified since the analysis, it is skipped.
- Removed files go to the Trash (Mac) or Recycle Bin (Windows). SCleaner never deletes files permanently.
