I feel like this has been covered before but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know about finding and clearing temp files from portable drive? Right now my tests on CCleaner and Bleachbit seem to indicate that they're only looking at established, installed programs to clean up.
The only possibility I found was ZSoft Uninstaller, which will do a "TMP file search", but really that just seems to be things that have a file extension associated with temp files e.g. .bak, .old, .tmp. I'm wondering if any portable programs I'm running have stores of old temp files that could get cleared without impacting the program.
Suggestions?

I think you can create custom rules for CCleaner using the Winapp2.ini file.

How about a simple batch file?
/s makes it look in every subfolder
Code: Select all
del *.tmp *.bak *.old /s

Yeah but that's sort of the issue: I don't know what files exactly to zap. Winapp2 and I'm fairly sure it's looking for installed junk in predictable (static) folders.joby_toss wrote:I think you can create custom rules for CCleaner using the Winapp2.ini file.
That's definitely one route but I was looking for something that I could recommend more broadly and a batch file is a little weird for some users.lintalist wrote:How about a simple batch file?/s makes it look in every subfolderCode: Select all

Unfortunately those don't really work with portable software.
