This repository presents itself as "CCleaner Professional Premium Edition 2026," a Windows and Mac system cleaning and privacy tool. It is not the official CCleaner project. The README describes a large set of promised features: clearing temp files and browser caches, cleaning the Windows registry, managing which programs start with your computer, finding duplicate files, uninstalling stubborn applications, and editing right click context menus. According to the README, the tool also wipes browsing history and cookies across Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Opera, while letting you whitelist cookies you want to keep, such as banking or email logins. It lists compatibility with Windows 7 through 11, several recent versions of macOS, and a beta version for Ubuntu Linux, though actual code or installable files are not shown, only a download link pointing to an external page. The README documents a YAML configuration format for building custom cleaning profiles, letting you choose which categories to clean and which folders to exclude, plus example command line invocations for scanning, cleaning, analyzing disk usage, and scheduling daily cleanups. It also describes an optional AI feature that would connect to OpenAI or Claude API keys to explain disk usage in plain language and suggest files that are safe to delete, though the setup example shown uses a placeholder link rather than a real key format. Because this source is short on verifiable implementation detail and long on promotional language, readers should treat the feature list as claims rather than confirmed functionality. There is no license information, contributor guide, or issue tracker content included in what was reviewed. Anyone considering this tool should look for the actual source code, verify what data it collects before running it, and compare it against the well known original CCleaner rather than assuming this project is affiliated with that product.
