Version history for Disk Cleaner
<<Back to software description
Changes for v1.7.1610 RC 1 - v1.7.1614 RC 2
- When Disk Cleaner was started in quiet mode, it never completely closed but remained in memory. This has been resolved.
Changes for v1.6.1353 - v1.7.1610 RC 1
- Disk Cleaner can check for running applications and informs the user that they should be closed for optimal cleaning results. Current checks include Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and FeedReader. Text plug-ins can be easily upgraded to include similar functionality. See the plug-in how-to for more information.
- When Disk Cleaner estimates that a plug-in needs administrator rights to function properly, this plug-in is hidden for a standard user. This means less confusion and less warning messages for the user.
