    1/10

    The Big Awesome List of Free Software to Fill Many

    Roles

    The List will continue to be updated as more are found.

    Categories Disk Defrag - Disk Cleanup - Disk/File

    Management/Recovery/Encryption - System Information

    Disk Defrag

    MyDefrag:http://www.mydefrag.com/

    Defragmenting tool with numerous options, useful for different types of disks (in

    terms of use - "system disk" or "data disk" and physically - a USB thumb drive or

    a usual internal hard drive). Not exactly for the Average Joe however.

    Defraggler:http://www.piriform.com/defraggler

    A simpler defragmenting tool that also allows defragmentation of individual files.

    Piriform has other useful programs besides this (which would be making an

    appearance later on).

    Auslogics Disk Defrag:http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/

    Another alternate choice for disk defragmenting needs.

    HARD Disk Scrubber: http://www.summitcn.com/hdscrub.html

    Free secure delete program designed to help you permanently destroy sensitive data from

    your PC. Use Hard Disk Scrubber to overwrite free space on your Windows drives, or to

    permanently delete files so that they can no longer be recovered.

    Disk Cleanup

    CCleaner:http://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER

    Another program from Piriform, arguably the primary disk cleanup program of

    many.

    Disk/File Management/Recovery/Encryption

    Recuva:http://www.piriform.com/recuva

    A file recovery program from Piriform.

    Double Killer:http://www.bigbangenterprises.de/en/doublekiller/

    Is a "fast and easy to use application for finding and removing duplicate files."
