Targets general Windows items, recent document lists in many programs, chat history, and all sorts of data that Internet Explorer records on your use of IE.
Winclear is a wonder at finding temporary files. On my notebook it deleted 847 MB. Since I only had 2 GB available on my C: drive, this was a HUGE benefit. On my wife's computer, it found and deleted 10.69 GB, and on my son's, it found an amazing 17.73 GB of temporary files and other "history" — he was ecstatic.
Note that when you run WinClear, your first step is to set some options. Here you can tell WinClear to ignore certain types of "history" data (click on the images above to see the options on my computer). I set my copy to ignore my recent files lists in Excel and Word.
The next step is to let WinClear scan and show you what it finds.
Then, you can tell WinClear to delete or erase what it found. By default, WinClear will delete what it finds. But, you can check the "Shred Files" box and then pick Random (1 pass), DOD 4220.22-M (3 passes), NSA (7 passes) or Gutmann (35 passes). Obviously, the more passes WinClear makes to erase the data, the longer the process will take.
If you use IE as your browser, WinClear looks like just the thing for keeping a pristine history on your machine. If you've got a notebook, it could be just the thing for wiping all that "saved form data" and "saved passwords" before you travel with your notebook.
