The closest I've seen are variants of 'It doesn't HELP anything' / 'We don't NEED it anymore'.

My question is: Why? What is this based on? While I've seen many negative comments, I haven't seen anybody take the time to actually explain why it's now 'considered harmful'. If that does not work, download the free Ccleaner, it works even better than disc cleanup I agree, CCleaner is great, however I'm not sure if I dare to use it for deleting windows update data yet.

It would be great if the program would indicate that to the user. CCleaner, one of the enormously popular free PC optimization suites for Windows, is now being detected as Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) on Windows 10 after a recent update to Windows. CCleaner application is normally defaulted after installation to your PC under 'C' Drive Programs Files. Select Exception Lists and then Programs/folders 4. CCleaner Professional does not indicate from where the updates are downloaded, however. Navigate to Protection Settings (see image below) 3. So it's not just on various forums and here on Reddit, but apparently the semi-official stance in Redmond as well. The updating happens in CCleaner that is comfortable and probably preferred by the majority of users (Sumo redirects to its own website from where you may download the updates). Lately I've noticed there is a building momentum against CCleaner, to the point where I saw a Microsoftie in a Channel9 video hinting very strongly that MSFT doesn't like it very much.

When friends have asked for help with their old, slow machines, it's typically been step one to install and use CCleaner to remove gigabytes of old crap. I'm a long time user of CCleaner, from back when it was called Crap Cleaner, and I must have installed it on well over a hundred machines through the years.
