Are We Clean Yet?

A catalog of disk cleaners and system-cleanup tools: the ones your OS already ships, the ones that have been around for decades, and the new ones that keep appearing. Encyclopedic, not opinionated: what each tool does, where it runs, what it costs, and when it showed up.

What counts as a cleaner is broad: uninstallers, duplicate finders, disk-space visualizers, browser and dev-junk sweepers, and the occasional registry tool. Each entry records the facts that stay true over time: launch date, status, license and price, supported platforms, interface, and tech stack. Where we can verify them, entries also record trust signals such as published source code, signed releases, a security contact, and whether the tool asks for elevated privileges, plus the date the tool was last seen alive.
