Microsoft’s free PC optimizer makes it easy to free up storage space

Is this Adios for, CCleaner? Microsoft has added helpful new features to its free PC Manager.

Microsoft has released a new version of its free Windows tuning tool, dubbed PC Manager

Version 3.9.3.0’s main new feature is the improved “Files Cleanup” feature, as the US IT news portal
Windowslatest reports. This is designed to give you more free space on your Windows computer quickly and
easily. The new “Files Cleanup” cleans up downloaded files, searches for particularly large files, and removes
duplicate files.

Microsoft’s PC Manager tool also brings Dark Mode to the app. There are also a number of detailed
improvements to the interface as well as a revised desktop toolbar, which now integrates the Bing search. Up-
date: On that note, be careful when using PC Manager’s Repair tools. After this update, it began saying you
need to switch to Bing search to “repair” Edge to its intended use. If you’ve manually tuned Edge’s default to
run Google, DuckDuckGo, or another search engine, ignore that PC Manager suggestion.
With PC Manager, you can optimize the memory and storage space on computers with Windows 11 and Win-
dows 10. Windows should also work faster by removing temporary files that are no longer needed and clearing
the Windows update cache.

When cleaning up your computer, you can specify in PC Manager whether the tool should focus its cleaning
and tidying work on downloaded files, large files, or duplicate files. For downloaded files, the software cleans
up downloads from Edge, Chrome, and other applications that deposit files in the Downloads folder. If you let
PC Manager search for large files, the tool will show you these. You can then decide whether you actually still
need the file in question or whether you want to free up the storage space.

As already mentioned, the third option is to search for multiple files that are located in different places on your
computer and therefore take up unnecessary storage space.

Microsoft’s PC Manager serves as an alternative to the iconic CCleaner optimization app.

You can find the PC Manager download in the Microsoft Store. At least Windows 10 version 19042.0 or higher,
or Windows 11, is required, with both x86 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips supported
