Add Steam Support?

Recommended Posts

There are many inefficiencies with the steam desktop application which consume large amounts of disk space and add tons of tiny files which slow down HDDs. If steam support were to be added to CCleaner, it would have tremendous benefits to both disk space and performance. Listed bellow are possible things which could potentially be cleaned up.

 

  • The steam web browser has a http cache located here.
    • For 64 Bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\appcache\httpcache
    • For 32 Bit: C:\Program Files\Steam\appcache\httpcache

 

  • Many steam games create .mdmp files which can consume up to 100mb of disk space per game crash.
    • A search could be created by entering each folder within the common directory.
      • For 64 Bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common
      • For 32 Bit: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common

 

  • Many steam games come with redistributables which run once then get wasted afterwards.
    • They are stored in game root directories in folders such as relist. (common\game)
    • If created timestamp is not equal to last accessed, it's safe to delete as it has already been installed.
