How to choose the right Cleaner tool in eclean

Cleaner is where eclean helps you remove junk files, find large files, and securely delete files you no longer want recoverable. Each Cleaner tool is meant for a different situation, so choosing the right one matters.


Do not use secure deletion as a general cleanup shortcut. Use it when recoverability matters more than speed.


How to choose the right Cleaner tool


  1. Use Junk Cleaner: Choose this when you want to remove temporary files, cache, recycle bin content, or other common junk categories.
  2. Use Large Files: Choose this when storage is low and you want to review personal or app files by size before deleting anything.
  3. Use File Shredder: Choose this when you want to securely erase specific files or folders so recovery becomes intentionally difficult.
  4. Use Cleaner History: Choose this when you want to confirm what was cleaned and when it happened.
  5. Use Automatic Junk Cleanup: If you want routine scheduled cleanup, use Automatic Junk Cleanup to choose what should be cleaned and when it should run.


Which Cleaner tool should you start with?


  • Start with Junk Cleaner for routine maintenance because it is built around cleanup categories.
  • Use Large Files when you need to make a bigger storage decision and want to inspect individual files.
  • Use File Shredder only when you are intentionally deleting sensitive files and understand that secure erase is not designed for easy recovery.
