Welcome
Good question. You should always understand software that you are using.
It is safe, good, and it works and its free. I use it and so do many members.
After you download, you can leave it on the default settings. Use it once a week or so to clean all files that are not needed.
Any questions about settings, etc. just ask. As I said I use it, too.
The only problem that I had was that I did not put cookies (from sites that I log into, personal setting, etc) into the save section. The only difficulty was that I had to reset a few sites, but then preserved them by moving the cookies.

Ccleaner is, as its name suggests cleans the unwanted or junk or temporary files in the C drive (windows installation drive) to free up the space and make your OS running faster and conveniently.

Nothing if you know where to look for it.
CCleaner is much faster than looking for junk files though

I've been using it since 2005, I'm quite satisfied with it. I have CCleaner installed on all my computers and also use it to ensure my client's computers do not continually fall into a state of drag by collecting too many junk files. Considering they're always releasing updates to make the software more user-friendly, more performance enhanced and adding improved cleaning.. I have had absolutely no complaints with CCleaner, not even once. If I want to stay logged into the websites I use, I simply uncheck "Cookies" and I'm good to go. 5/5 software.

Regardless of how experienced a user is, they can always learn something from the great tutorial collection at this forum.
I recently learned about step 2, in this tutorial
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/104637-temporary-files-temp-folder.html
I was amazed by how much stuff ccleaner left behind. That being said, I use and would not be without Ccleaner.

Thanks for the welcome Rich. I hadn't even clicked to the tutorial area yet, haha. I've been a visitor for a while during many of my trial and error troubleshoots, hence the name.. my real name is Nick. I'm glad I finally made the decision to join.

CCleaner is one of the best software to clean out junks on your computer. It really helped me. CCleaner can uninstall programs, and even enable/disable start up programs! It's really helpful.
