NetXClean Utility

NetXClean keeps extraneous information from being stored in flash memory. NetXClean is a service that runs constantly in the background and operates only on the flash memory. Cleanup is triggered on either service startup or user logoff.

NetXClean performs the cleanup invisibly and no user input is necessary.

If a flush of the write filter cache puts junk in flash directories that must be kept clean, or allows junk to continue being written to flash after the write filter cache is flushed (until a reboot occurs), NetXClean prevents garbage files from building up and filling the free space in the flash. This is particularly important when multiple users have logon rights to a terminal because memory space can be used up quickly by locally stored profiles and temporary caching of information.
