TuneUp RegistryCleaner
Clean-up

Clean-up

Click Start Cleaning in the toolbar to have TuneUp RegistryCleaner do its job - correcting all of the problems that were found.

A new wizard is opened that takes you through the process step by step. First, it indicates how many problems were selected for correction. It also informs you that all changes can be undone with TuneUp RescueCenter if necessary. Click Next to clean up your system.

A progress bar indicates how far TuneUp RegistryCleaner is with its work. The module corrects all problems one after the other and makes sure that unneeded entries and keys are removed. Please wait until the clean-up is finished.

Once the module is finished, a message is displayed to tell you that all problems have been corrected.

The Check Again button

Sometimes, the button Check Again is displayed, and the wizard recommends that you analyze your system again. This is always the case when the clean-up may have made additional entries invalid. This is not an error in the module, but a chain reaction that can occur in the categories ActiveX and COM and File types.

A simple example: Entry A points to entry B, which in turn points to the missing file X. In the first scan, TuneUp RegistryCleaner determines that entry B is invalid because file X cannot be found on the system. Entry B is deleted during clean-up. This in turn makes entry A invalid, as it points to the now missing entry B.

TuneUp RegistryCleaner recognizes when this may happen and suggests that you analyze the system again. In this case, click Check Again, and these two categories will be analyzed again.

Finishing clean-up

Click Finish to close the wizard. Repeat the clean-up process as often as necessary until no new problems are found. You can now close the module, with the confidence that you have removed a great deal of junk from your system.
