There are many programs that leave backup files on the PC once you install/uninstall applications. These files mostly include TEMP, Swap, Page files and unnecessary .bak files. WinTidy is a small application which searches all these unwanted files and deletes them freeing up disk space.

WinTidy is a standalone program(needs no installation). For safety, files deleted will go to the Recycle Bin. This means disk space will not actually be returned unless emptied the Recycle Bin. WinTidy can be atomated, if you want to completey delete the files or folders directly then you can use the “-auto_delete” parameter in the command line.

Example:

Command Line Parameters for WinTidy:

WinTidy  <path>  [-auto_delete]  [-keep=<wildcards>]  [-delete=<wildcards>]

where

<path>       is a folder specification without a disk drive

e.g.  \Windows\Temp

must be the first parameter

[-auto_delete]  must be the second parameter

<wildcards>  are one or more comma separated wildcard file specifications

e.g.  C:\cache\*.htm,”D:\safe files\*.*”

Note that the disk specification is required.

Similarly, multiple “-keep=” and “-delete=” parameters are allowed.
