Inspired by the early CCleaner era, FluentCleaner reimagines the classic PC cleanup utility for modern Windows systems. Built with WinUI 3, it focuses on a cleaner, lightweight experience centered around removing temporary files, cache, logs, and leftover clutter - without aggressive registry tweaks, bundled extras, or scareware-style prompts.

The project also embraces the community-driven spirit that helped make older cleanup tools popular in the first place. FluentCleaner supports the well-known winapp2.ini cleaning database format, allowing it to leverage a large ecosystem of community-maintained cleaning rules while keeping the app fast, transparent, and easy to use.

Features

  • Portable design with no installation required
  • One-click system analysis and cleanup
  • Support for optional maintenance extensions
  • Optimized for Windows 11
  • Clear and easy-to-understand cleanup results

System Requirements:

  • Windows 10 2004 (Build 19041) and later
  • Windows 11

No Windows 11 requirement. Despite using WinUI 3, the app is intentionally built to remain compatible with modern Windows 10 systems as well

Improved

  • AI explanations now talk back in your language: Just switch the UI to German, French or any supported language and the answers follow automatically #79
  • AI explanations works with the built-in explainer and the Custom Cleaners AI generator (Winapp2 entries & PowerShell scripts) that some of you might not have discovered yet
  • Settings > AI Explanations now surfaces both features in one place so nothing stays hidden
  • Unhandled exceptions no longer silently kill the process and the app stays alive and logs the error instead of vanishing with exit code
