The daily use of the computer generates a huge amount of files that we could perfectly do without. Much of them occur automatically and, perhaps for this reason, we are not aware. Windows, applications or browser data are gradually colonizing our disk space without offering us anything in return. To end all of them is the purpose of the program that we show you today: Slimcleaner .
Having orderly and clean both our hard drive and our boot will allow us to improve its performance and be more satisfied with the computer. The program created by Slimware does few things, but all of them will help us in our purpose.
Slimcleaner, its main features
The first thing that catches the attention of Slimcleaner is its interface, grouped into two very clearly differentiated areas. The information is easily and clearly read, which makes its use very intuitive.
The top bar is made up of three blocks. The first includes the name of the program and a link to the program’s website. Next, we have three icons that allow us to configure the program, contact the technical service and receive information about updates or the end of the trial period. The third block consists of the icons to minimize, maximize or close the window.
The rest of the window is used by the program’s functions that are intended to improve the performance of our computer . In the left column we can select which one we want to use and in the right area we will see the data related to it.
This program also highlights the customization possibilities it offers. To access them we will have to select the configuration icon that is in the upper bar of the window. Once in the menu, we can choose between “general”, “program” and “language”.
“General” will allow us, for example, to start the program during Windows startup or to analyze the computer in that process. “Schedule” gives the user the ability to set a day and time for Slimcleaner to automatically scan our hard drive. Finally, we can change the interface language to “language”. We have six options: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese.
Taking advantage of Slimcleaner
The Slimware program offers three main utilities: Disk Cleaner, Boot Optimizer, and Software Manager. All of them will result in the improvement of the performance of our team.
Eliminate the unnecessary from your hard drive
Slimcleaner proposes to explore disk space through three factors. The first, detect and eliminate data from Windows, other programs and the browser. The program will classify which files to delete, as well as their name and size. Adjusting this exploration to your interests is possible if you select “exploration preferences”.
You can choose to purge all three categories at once or just one of them. If you select “browser data” bear in mind that this computer program will be closed during deletion and then you will have to run it again. Save your information before you start freeing up space with Slimcleaner.
There are two other options for cleaning up disk space. Slimcleaner can show you the files that you have duplicates and, in another window, those that take up more space on your storage unit. Both options are very useful. On the one hand, they allow us to delete files that we actually already have, and, on the other, they free up a large amount of space with a click.
Optimize the startup of your computer
The second tool, “Boot Optimizer”, informs us of the installed programs that run when Windows starts. These data are very useful as they have a direct impact on the time we must wait before using our computer.
The system recommends its removal or not from the boot using the recommendations of the user community. Thus, it classifies the programs between “keep”, “optional” or “none”. Deleting them is very easy, you just have to select them and click “delete selected”.
In the case of making a mistake when selecting the program, the solution is very simple. We will only have to choose “disabled items”, find the deactivated program and select “activate selected” to recover it.
The window closes with two continuously updated graphics. In them we can see both the performance of the CPU and RAM.
Analyze the programs you have installed
The last utility, “software manager”, allows us to see what software we have on the computer and, following the recommendations of the user community, recommends its uninstallation or not following the previous classification.
By selecting a program, you can access its evaluation. The “rate” button will take you to a web questionnaire where you can give your opinion and thus add your voice to said community.
Download Slimcleaner
Integrating Slimcleaner into your computer is very simple and, given its small size, very fast. If, after the seven-day trial, the program does not convince you, uninstalling it is also quick, just go to the Windows Control Panel and proceed as with any other.
Yes, after the evaluation period you want to purchase the product, you can do so through its main interface, both using the “Activate now!” as in the update icon on the top bar.
Slimware offers three payment formulas. The first, allows use on a computer for a year for $ 19.97. The second, enables three computers for 2 years and costs $ 39.97. With the third and last option you can use the program on five computers and for life for $ 59.97.

Free alternatives to Slimcleaner
Using trial version programs is a good idea to evaluate them and get a momentary advantage. However, if we don’t want to pay for the license, we’ll have to uninstall it sooner or later and learn how to handle another one. Therefore, it is a good option to start all over with one of these three free programs.
Bulk Crap Uninstaller
The main virtue of this program is that it focuses on complete removal of computer programs. Also look for remnants of uninstalls that were not carried out diligently.
The interface of this program reminds us of programs like WinDirStat in that it classifies the programs by color and, by their proportional size in the interface, we can guess their size on the hard disk. Bulk Crap Uninstaller has its criteria for removing programs, but it is not based on user opinions but on their origin (validated certificate, non-validated certificate, unregistered application, Windows Store application, and non-locatable uninstaller).

Bleachbit
This program is dedicated to the massive elimination of all expendable files wherever they are. To achieve this, it is programmed to search for these types of files in more than thirty computer programs.
Its use is very simple, you just have to read the descriptions of the program, choose the options that seem appropriate, see the future result in the preview and, if it is to our liking, execute the delete action.

Revo Uninstaller Free, a little more and free
This free program offers the same options as Slimcleaner and includes additional ones. Among the additions, we highlight the specific cleaning it does to MS Office files and confidential user data. Unlike Slimcleaner, which only had an installable version, Revo Uninstaller Free offers a portable version.
It has a PRO version that, among other improvements, removes both browser extensions and elements not removed in past uninstalls. The price of the program is $ 24.95 for the annual license and $ 39.95 for the biennial.
