How QuickClean Lite works

First, you select the types of files you wish to remove from your computer. A wizard guides you through this process. Next, the QuickClean Lite wizard scans the contents of your hard disk and identifies all files meeting your pre-selected criteria.

The user proceeds with the cleaning task if they are satisfied with the results of the scan. Finally, QuickClean Lite provides a graphic representation of the amount of reclaimed space after deleting the files.
