Chapter 2. Complex PC Clean-up
Using variants of complex PC clean-up described below, you can clean a
large number of various Windows components that keep evidence of your
PC activity.
Vice versa, if you need to clean-up only a specific Windows component, for
example, last visited Internet pages, you should use one of the Acronis
PrivacyExpert sections, described below (see Chapter 3 «Separate PC
Components Clean-up»). Separate component clean-up is faster than any
variant of complex PC clean-up.
2.1
Entire PC Clean-up
If you need to clean a PC of any evidence of your activity, select the Entire
PC clean-up. Executing it, you'll be able to clean all Windows components
accessible by Acronis PrivacyExpert:
1.
clean Windows registry from user activity evidence;
2.
delete temporary files from standard Windows folders;
3.
delete any file types from user folders on any disks connected
to the PC;
4.
clean Windows Recycle Bin;
5.
clean Windows swap file;
6.
clean hard disk free space;
7.
clean the last visited pages and last used documents list;
8.
delete the evidence of searching for files on connected disks, for
networked computers, for information on the Internet;
9.
clean Internet cache;
10. delete cookies
11. delete downloaded components;
12. clean Internet history and last visited pages list.
Entire PC clean-up is executed by a mouse-click on its name in the right part
of the main window (for other execution methods see sections 1.6.3, 1.6.6).
For detailed descriptions of what Acronis PrivacyExpert performs in every
specific case (how and what files, folders, system or registry sections it cleans
from what data) see the Chapter 3 «Separate PC Components Clean-up».
