Overview

Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named diskcleaner.exe. The setup package generally installs about 15 files and is usually about 9.61 MB (10,072,053 bytes).
