CleanGeek: a free Windows cleaner with no registry cleaner and no upsell

Hi DEV! I got tired of free PC cleaners that bundle a registry cleaner nobody needs, count up a scary number of "issues", and then dangle a paid version at the end. So I wrote the boring version. CleanGeek finds and clears: Temp folders, user and system Browser caches across the installed browsers Windows Update leftovers and Delivery Optimisation cache Crash dumps and error reports Thumbnail cache and font cache Recycle Bin, if you tick it Every item shows what it is and how much space it is worth. Nothing is deleted until you press the button, and you can untick anything you want to keep. Why I built it There is no registry cleaner in it and there never will be. Cleaning the registry has not meaningfully sped up a Windows machine in about fifteen years, and the risk of breaking something is real. Same reason there is no "optimise your PC" button. The tool does one job and tells you exactly what it did. The other reason is the business model. Free cleaners generally are not free, they are a funnel. CleanGeek has no paid tier to funnel you into, no upsell screen, and no telemetry. Tech stack .NET 8, net8.0-windows Avalonia for the UI, with Avalonia.Desktop and Avalonia.Themes.Fluent No third party cleanup engine, the scanning is all in the app Avalonia was the right call. WinForms would have been quicker to get moving but the styling story is grim, and WPF ties you down harder than I wanted. Honest caveat The installer is not code signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn on first run. I am sorting that out. If that is a dealbreaker for you, fair enough.
