It's weird that CCleaner is trash but it's still better than what MS suggests.
Bleachbit is the open source, non trash "replacement" for CCleaner
Use winapp2ool to add a comprehensive winapp2ool.ini to Bleachbit

Thanks.
When I am studying at university, a dude actually buy CCleaner. I wonder how he got scammed.
The effect of such tools depends on how neglected the system is. Probably he had A LOT to clean, so after a regular cleaning routine he was amazed by how everything is fast now.
On Windows, I could've probably bought it too for having startup+plugins+programs+cache in one window, since in later versions of Windows it's too inconvinient.
