CCleaner Professional v7 revitalizes sluggish Windows systems by clearing accumulated digital debris, updating outdated drivers, and optimizing background processes in a single workflow. Developed by Gen Digital, this utility goes beyond standard file deletion by actively managing system resources to improve boot times and stability. With its latest release in December 2025, the software now extends its cleaning capabilities to cloud storage services, offering a centralized solution for maintaining both local and online digital hygiene.
Key Features
- Performance Optimizer: Detects and freezes resource-heavy background applications using Sleep Mode, instantly freeing up RAM and CPU power for active tasks without uninstalling the software.
- Driver Updater: Scans a massive database of over 25 million drivers to identify and install the correct updates for graphics, audio, and hardware connectivity, reducing crashes and hardware conflicts.
- Cloud Drive Cleaner: Connects directly to Google Drive, OneDrive, and now Dropbox to identify and remove duplicate files, large clutter, and digital junk from your cloud storage accounts.
- Health Check: Performs a comprehensive system analysis in one click, automatically tuning privacy settings, removing tracking cookies, and clearing disk space to boost security and speed.
- Software Updater: Closes security holes by automatically identifying and installing the latest versions of popular third-party applications before hackers can exploit vulnerabilities.
- Smart Cleaning: Runs silently in the background to monitor junk levels and browser leftovers, automatically cleaning your PC when a specified threshold is reached to maintain privacy.
Use Cases
Home users with aging computers running Windows 10 or Windows 11 can significantly extend their hardware's lifespan by freezing unused background apps that drain system resources. It is also ideal for non-technical users who need to reclaim expensive cloud storage space across multiple platforms without manually sorting through thousands of files.
CCleaner Professional offers a practical, automated approach to system maintenance that keeps PCs running smoother and safer than manual cleanup methods allow.
