I’ve been a faithful fan of CCleaner for Windows for many years. Recently, I am bombarded with a pop up that says my hard drive has been cleaned. How, specifically, do turn this intrusive “feature” off?
I am saddened by the obvious efforts CCleaner has taken to ensure customers–the people who pay their bills and employees–can never, ever reach them to ask a specific question.
I know it’s a cost. But if CCleaner doesn’t care about its customers, it damages their brand.
Try the following:
Go to Options: In the left sidebar, click on “Options.”
Select Notifications: Look for a section labeled “Notifications” or “Settings” (the exact wording may vary depending on the version).
Disable Notifications: You should see an option to disable notifications or pop-ups. Uncheck any boxes related to notifications about cleaning or similar alerts.
Save Changes: Make sure to save any changes you make.
That is a setting in Smart Cleaning for the junk file cleaning.
If it is popping up frequently then you might want to set a higher GB limit before it cleans and it won’t automatically clean as often.
If you don’t want any notification at all when Smart Cleaner runs a junk clean then you can turn that notification off quite easily:
PS. There are similar notification options/settings for the automatic browser cleaning too:
