I was a bit surprised here to see all the rubbish that had accumulated from Google Chrome here. On my laptop, this scan only took a couple of minutes, and found just over 1GB of files that could probably be deleted (my laptop is only a few months old, so if you’re using CleanMyPC on an old PC it’ll probably find a lot more): Simply scans for files that can probably be deleted, such as temporary files, caches (especially browser caches), logs and so on.

I’ll go over each of the options in CleanMyPC below. Then when opening the software for the first time, you’re presented with these 3 options:Ĭlick on one of the menu options on the left like “My Computer Cleanup” or “Registry Maintenance” and you can run scans. exe installer, there’s a simple install process: At the time of writing, the current version of CleanMyPC was just under 28MB. Go to the CleanMyPC page on and click the green “Free Download” button. It’s clear from looking at CleanMyMac reviews on the app store (1.9K ratings at the time of writing, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5), for example, that their products have at least some use and traction. I can’t verify those numbers for sure, but MacPaw is definitely a real and legitimate company. MacPaw was founded in 2008, is based in Ukraine, has around 200 employees now and apparently had over $23 million in revenue in 2018 ( source) with “one in five Macs around the world” running CleanMyMac. Who built CleanMyPC?ĬleanMyPC was developed by a company called MacPaw, which has developed a fair bit of software including a VPN (ClearVPN), a file encryption app (Encrypto), an external drive cleaner (CleanMyDrive 2), a Mac app finder (Setapp) and more. I’ll begin by introducing the company behind CleanMyPC before showing the software in action on my own laptop. Click here to skip to my verdict or continue reading to read my full thoughts on it.

To help you decide whether you should get CleanMyPC, in this review I’ll download, test and review the software, and give you my honest take on how useful it actually is. Like with antivirus software, there are many pieces of software that aim to improve PC performance, and it’s not always obvious which one’s are legit and which one’s are fakes that only pretend to be doing anything useful. CleanMyPC calls itself “Essential PC cleaning software” and aims to improve your computer’s performance by freeing up disk space and cleaning the registry.
