Clean/Remove Junk Files On iPhone With iCleaner [Cydia]

by on

A huge Android fan, I do admire iOS for its fluidity and app loading and exit times. Android on the other hand has been improving at an accelerated pace but is subject to slowing down on accumulation of junk files, like most computer OS as well. iOS however is believed to be resistant to such issues, but that’s how we perceive it and to be blunt, we take the speed and fluidity for granted (but why not?). iOS does keep caches and temporary files that become redundant over time and do nothing but slow your device down while taking up precious space. Well not enough for you to notice, but it always bugs me when something useless takes up space in my phone. iCleaner is to iOS what CCleaner is to Windows and Mac OS X – that is, to clean up junk files.

FixBee: Delete Junk Files And Defragment Hard Drives

There are two things that you should take care of if you want to keep your computer running smoothly: regularly clean it to remove the junk files, and regularly defragment your hard drive to make sure that your data is neatly stored within. The system takes less time to locate data if your hard drive is defragmented. Think of it as a cupboard where you keep all your stuff. If all the items are neatly placed into labeled compartments and every type of product has its own section, it will be very easy for you to locate the required item. Instead, if everything is haphazardly placed inside the cupboard, it will take you a lot of time to find the required item from the mess. Today, we have a single application that performs both the functions of cleaning, and defragmenting your computer. FixBee is an application for Windows that allows you to easily and quickly defragment, as well as clean your PC. It not only repairs errors, but also removes junk files collected over time that just consume valuable disk space and create clutter, slowing down the computer. Read More

Leave a comment
Different applications leave numerous useless files, such as logs and temporary files, in your PC when you install and uninstall them. Other Windows functions such as Windows update and downloaded installations also leave some files behind. During the update process, several temporary files are created for installation and application of new patches. These unnecessary files and folders clutter up your hard drive, causing a decrease in PC performance. Moreover, they eat up valuable disk space that can be used to store other data. Deleting this data manually is not advised as one cannot be sure about which files are safe to delete and which ones can mess with important settings. UnCleaner is an application that displays a file report detailing all the junk files in your system, and cleans them in one go. The application allows you to set task scheduler to enable system cleaning on every startup. Some of the files that it cleans include Windows account temp files, Windows updates downloaded files, Windows installer temp files, Windows shell cached files and a lot more temporary and junk files from your system.

Gradually as the Windows suffers from system crashes or power loss and software installations, it's performance is deteriorated due to temporary files left in the air. It's recommended to wipe these temp files to make it look spick and span again.
