As a long-time professional managing hundreds of PCs weekly, I need to express how version 7 has broken workflows that made CCleaner indispensable:
-
Keyboard/Workflow Destroyed: No more arrow keys + spacebar + select/deselect all. 15-second tasks now take 3 minutes per PC—a 1200% productivity hit.
-
Cache Buried & Renamed: “Cache” moved halfway down browser sections and renamed “Internet Cache”—redundant, unnecessary, and kills muscle memory.
-
Inconsistent GUI Elements: Settings appear in both lower-left and upper-right corners. Confusing.
-
Summary Screen Regression: Data amount on left, item count on right; no concise list or totals at the bottom. Visuals look like slides, not a professional report.
-
Overall GUI Downgrade: Overly simplified menus and sliding panels are flashy but slow down anyone who actually uses the tool efficiently.
Impact: These regressions make the tool impractical for professional use.
Please consider the needs of power users in future updates. Looks like I’m jumping ship to {competition software removed} and taking hundreds of customers with me. It was a fun ride while it lasted, CCleaner.
