Has something new come along? It's been so long since I've needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.

I don't think I've used any cleaner product since the Windows XP days. I don't view it as necessary anymore.

One of the other programs to see file size on disk recommended on this thread should be enough.

I would highly recommend O&O ShutUp10++ to reduce built in spying in Windows. It's good at explaining what each option you're doing is. The only thing I would caution on is changing the Edge browser policies with O&O. That will lock it down into enterprise mode and you won't be able to change certain settings through the UI anymore.

I'm the same. Haven't used one since those days and I work in IT.
