FluentCleaner is a modern Windows desktop cleaner built with WinUI 3, inspired by the classic CCleaner, focused on removing junk files without spyware, scareware, or dark patterns. It includes a fast parser for winapp2.ini cleaning signatures and offers terminal control and multi-database support.

Use cases

  • clean junk files from windows 10 and 11
  • open source ccleaner alternative without ads
  • remove temporary files and browser caches
  • use winapp2.ini cleaning rules
  • privacy-focused system cleanup tool
  • clean windows without telemetry or upsells

When to choose

  • you want a transparent, no-nonsense system cleaner for Windows 10/11
  • you miss the simplicity of old CCleaner and dislike its current bloat
  • you want to leverage the winapp2.ini community cleaning signatures
  • you prefer MIT-licensed software with no telemetry

When to avoid

  • you need deep registry cleaning with vendor support
  • you need scheduled automated cleaning across enterprise fleets
  • you are on macOS or Linux - it is Windows-only
  • you need a mature tool with long-term support guarantees - it is a young preview project
