Temp File Cleaner (TFC) is a utility program for Microsoft Windows designed to quickly remove temporary and unnecessary files which might otherwise prove difficult to find because of dynamic paths and multiple locations.
Features[edit]
Key Features. Deleting: Temp File Cleaner's main function is to remove unnecessary, temporary or obsolete files, which may gain a fairly substantial space on the PC.Once files are deleted, it will be impossible to find or restore them later on. Types of cleaned items: the program can delete cookies, browser history, and temporary files.
TFC's minimilist design and single purpose allow it to have compact installation. As of version 3.1.1, a full installation occupies 3.7MB.
It supports the removal of unnecessary and temporary files created by Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera browsers as well as those created in the course of normal system operation such as Windows Updates Cache, Windows Logs, and Windows, Root, and User Temp files which can be created by a variety of programs.[1] In addition, TFC includes the ability to customize its operations to include deeper search of subdirectories, brute force deletion, root path specification, and the addition of more advanced cleaning protocols such as Windows debug files, Hibernation files, and System Restore Data.
TFC allows a 'test run' of its operation, offering users the ability to preview the files that would be deleted upon normal execution as well as the amount of space that would be freed.

Temp File Cleaner is a tool which can free up valuable hard drive space by deleting surplus Windows and application files.
The program interface isn't the clearest we've seen; instead of being guided through the necessary steps, we had to browse the various options, check button tooltips and so on. Still, it's not that difficult: you need to choose the drives to be scanned, select which applications you'd like to clean (Windows, Office, Visual Studio, Flash, Ad-Adware and all the main browsers), before clicking Analyse and waiting for the report.
The results weren't too bad, either, with the program actually uncovering more surplus files than CCleaner could manage on the same PC (although mostly thanks to its performance in IE cleaning; it wasn't so good elsewhere).
We did have one significant concern, though, in that the program doesn't show you the details of what it wants to clean. It told us that we had 1,273 Windows files which could safely be deleted, for instance, but there's no way to view exactly which files those are. You just have to trust Temp File Cleaner not to wipe anything important.
This is a reasonably effective cleaner, then, but the interface could be simplified, and we'd certainly appreciate more information on precisely what it would like to do to our system.
It's reasonably good at finding files to delete, but Temp File Cleaner 4.2.2 would be more useful if it allowed us to check those files before we allowed it to wipe them
