- Recycle Bin contents
- Cloud sync folders
- Application data in AppData
- Temporary installation files
- Game launcher caches
- Hidden system folders

How ClearKun solves it
Instead of showing confusing columns, ClearKun explains every file and folder in plain language. Here is what a typical analysis looks like:
What you can safely remove
- Temporary cache files
- Old downloads
- Browser cache
These files are always safe to remove and will be recreated when needed.
- Application-specific caches
- Old log files
Verify the application is not actively using these files before removing.
- Currently open documents
- Active game save files
Removing these may cause data loss or application errors.
- System32 folder contents
- WinSxS folder contents
- Pagefile.sys
- Hiberfil.sys
