1Welcome to QuickClean
QuickClean can be used for many more purposes than simply uninstalling old
applications.
For example, QuickClean can clean up junk files that have built up on your
computer as you browsed the Internet, and it can do this cleanup
automatically on a schedule that you specify. QuickClean can also move
applications from one hard disk to another— even to another computer—and
change all references to the application at the same time.
Consider the following questions for more suggestions.
Using QuickClean
Think about how you use your computer to see how useful QuickClean can be.
Do you….
• Have programs that you don’t use anymore, for example games that you
don’t play frequently?
Use the Archive wizard to create an archive of programs or games by
compressing them. Then when you want to play a game again, click the old
shortcut to the game and let QuickClean restore it to its original location.
• Use the Internet?
When you surf the Internet, your computer can collect megabytes of
Internet junk files. Images, plug-ins, and other files you won’t need again
are downloaded to your computer. QuickClean Lite can delete these files
quickly and reclaim disk space.
• Have a Zip
®
drive or other large-capacity removable disk drive?
QuickClean’s Archive and Transport wizards can compress entire
applications to a large removable disk. When you want the applications
again, you restore them to the original computer or rebuild them on a
different computer without losing any setup information.
Perhaps more importantly, you can specify that QuickClean backups
should be stored on a large removable disk to save space on your internal
hard drive.
• Have a new, second hard disk?
Use the Move wizard to relocate applications on the new disk and free
space on the old disk without losing any setup information.
