• [Added] Rule Lab. A new way to look under the hood of any cleaning rule before you run it
  • Right-click a cleaner > Show source, or hit Test while building your own, the Lab opens up, rules on the left, results on the right
  • Edit the rules however you like, hit Dry Run, and watch exactly which files and registry keys they'd match. Nothing gets deleted, nothing gets written, its a read-only preview, so you can tweak and test as much as you want without touching a thing. Found a rule somewhere and not sure what it does? Paste it in, run it, see for yourself

• [Added] Protected paths (safety net)

  • Browser extension databases are now always skipped during cleaning, no matter what the database rules say. Fixes password managers and other extensions (1Password, Bitwarden, uBlock) breaking after a Web Storage clean Brave/Chrome/Edge Web Storage rules break 1Password browser extension (IndexedDB) #89
  • Only extension storage (IndexedDB\chrome-extension_*) is spared. Normal website storage is still cleaned as before.
  • This works across every Chromium browser and in silent /AUTO mode, and survives database updates.
  • New View protected paths link under Settings > Global exclusions shows exactly what's protected.

• [Added] Norwegian translation

• [Added] Ukrainian translation

• [Updated] Refreshed the Lithuanian translation

• [Fixed] Fixed a handful of smaller bugs and rough edges

Optional: download this Custom.zip asset for additional tools.  
Not required for the cleaner and completely independent.

Run FCleaner.exe to get started.

Important

FluentCleaner is and will always be free - but it's built solo, nights and weekends, fueled by coffee and stubbornness.
Learning WinUI 3 from scratch and turning this into a real app was a ride.
If it saves you time or you just want to say thanks - a small donation genuinely helps keep this going ☕

Thank you for using it. It means a lot. ❤️

I am not sure if this software is a worthy successor for CCleaner.
It's size is huge, 122 MiB.
It has 265 files and dozens and dozens of them are .dll.
Even if it is that big, the executable does not run without Windows App Runtime.
