glary utilities

Any reason/logic why Glary utilities find`s much more temp files to clean up than Ccleaner?(no offence)

It's looking in different places?!

This is what it looks for:

So it's looking across the entire volume based on a wide range of file extensions then?

 

Whereas ccleaner looks for a narrower (I presume) more targeted range of files in predefined locations, both generic and application-based.

 

I can understand why this would return more files than ccleaner - it's a far more broad brush approach. There are advantages and disadvantages with both approaches.

Glarys has a higher chance of false positives than ccleaner.

While it may find more invalid entries it may also incorrectly identify valid entries.

Where as the above users have said, CCleaner takes a safer approach, with few false positives reported on the forums.

They have a back up option for the temps cleanning in case that something goes wrong.
