grclean

Project Overview

GrClean is a free cleaning and optimization tool for Windows: an Electron desktop client backed by a lightweight PHP service for version and content delivery, with 8 themes and 9 built-in languages.

It covers system junk plus browser and app caches, dedicated cleanup for social apps like WeChat/QQ/WeCom (chat history is never touched), big-file and duplicate analysis, startup management, uninstall residue, registry cleanup, disk SMART health, system snapshots and one-click optimization across 20+ modules.

Key Features

• Junk cleaning: system, browser and app caches plus temp files under safe default rules
• Social-app cleaner: cached images and files for WeChat, QQ and WeCom, with chat history never touched
• Big-file analysis: finds the largest files on each disk to reclaim space fast
• Duplicate finder: locates identical files by hash and removes redundant copies
• Startup manager: review and disable unneeded boot items
• Uninstall residue: detects leftovers in files and registry after removals
• Health score: a weighted PC rating with actionable advice
• Disk and drivers: per-disk view, SMART health overview and driver inventory
• Snapshots: save and restore system state points
• Tasks and context menu: browse scheduled tasks and edit right-click menu entries

Target Audience

• Users with bloated WeChat/QQ caches and a full C drive
• Users replacing paid cleaner software
• Office workers doing regular PC checkups
• Advanced users who want custom cleaning rules

Quick Start

1. Download the GrClean installer or portable exe from Releases
2. Launch it, scanning starts automatically, check the health score on home
3. Open junk cleaning, tick the findings and clean in one click
4. In social-app cleanup pick WeChat or QQ, caches only, chats untouched
5. Analyze disks in the big-file and duplicate pages before deleting

Core Advantages

Notes

• Non-commercial license: for personal, educational and security-research use only, no redistribution or copyright removal
• Conservative registry cleaning: rule-based heuristics, take a snapshot before major system changes
• Deletion is final: confirm big-file and duplicate removals yourself, actions outside the recycle bin cannot be undone
