Many programs written for Windows create temporary files on your hard drive while they are running. These temporary files are supposed to be removed from your hard drive when the program is done, but sometimes programs are sloppy or end unexpectedly and these files are not removed. System Mechanic targets these files and more while providing more advanced file searching options to find all the space-wasting files on your hard drive, freeing up valuable disk space.
