eclean in 2026

eclean 1.4.4 fixes pages shifting up after a clean.

Fixed

• After a clean, pages no longer shift up and leave a blank band at the bottom until you restart eclean. This still happened on some PCs in 1.4.3.

eclean 1.4.3 fixes pages you couldn't scroll back up after cleaning, and asks before you turn off a privacy setting.

Fixed

• After a clean, pages no longer shift up so you can't scroll back to the top until you restart eclean.

Improved

• Turning off usage data, error reports, crash reports or your eclean report now asks you first, and the privacy descriptions are clearer.
• The link to review eclean on Trustpilot has moved from under the dashboard to the account menu.
• Settings links to the eclean community on Discord, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X.
• The eclean Score share button has been removed.

eclean 1.4.2 fixes a crash when Windows shuts down or restarts, a layout bug after cleaning, and several background errors. It also adds your eclean report and shows when a payment is still processing.

Fixed

• eclean no longer crashes when Windows shuts down, restarts or signs you out while eclean is starting or showing a dialog.
• After a clean, the page header no longer disappears and leaves a blank band until you restart eclean.
• Discord Rich Presence stays on while eclean is in the tray, without showing the last page you had open.
• The File shredder no longer reports files that Windows won't let any app delete, such as temporary files still held by an installer, as errors. It still lists them as not removed, and now also removes read-only files in Quick mode.
• Fewer false errors from the eclean service when it isn't installed or a Windows service can't be changed.

New

• Your eclean report in Settings > Account shows what eclean did on all your PCs in the last 30 days: space freed, cleans, tweaks applied, apps uninstalled and days used. You can turn it off at any time, which deletes the totals.
• Tips and offers on Home, one at a time, which you can close.
• If you pay by bank debit, Account settings now shows when a payment is still processing or has failed, instead of showing no plan.

Improved

• A small link under the dashboard to review eclean on Trustpilot.

eclean 1.4.1 fixes Performance Mode on PCs without Windows' High performance power plan, turns each history page into one list you scroll through, and gives Pro a new welcome.

Fixed

• Performance Mode no longer fails to start when Aggressive Power Mode is on and your PC has no High performance power plan, which is true of many laptops. eclean now leaves your power plan as it is on those PCs and applies your other Performance Mode settings, and its settings say why Aggressive Power Mode is unavailable.
• Profile headers on Browser extensions no longer leave a gap that the list shows through while you scroll.

Improved

• History pages are now one list. Older entries load as you scroll instead of on separate pages, so nothing jumps, and a batch of uninstalls or Optimizer changes is never split in two.

Also new

• A new welcome when you get Pro, showing the parts of eclean where your Pro features are, each one click away.

eclean 1.4 redesigns most of the app. Each page now tells you where you stand at the top and explains every item in plain words. Pro gains features that keep working in the background, and several Pro features are now free.

New in Pro

• Automatic cleanup cleans what apps leave behind every week, even when eclean is closed, and gives you two minutes to review each run first.
• Stay optimized puts your Optimizer changes back when a Windows update undoes them.
• Saved setups switch between your own sets of Optimizer changes in one press.
• Automatic DNS keeps you on the fastest DNS at your blocking level and tells you whenever it switches.
• Space watch tells you when a drive is filling up and which folder grew.
• Quiet uninstall removes apps without making you click through their uninstallers.
• Leftover watch tells you when an app is uninstalled outside eclean, so you can clean up what it left.
• Automatic performance mode turns on Performance Mode while the apps you choose are running.
• Expert tweaks, formerly Beta tweaks, offer deeper CPU, timer and power changes.
• Three new themes, Twilight, Nocturne and Fjord.

Redesigned

• The Optimizer is now one page. Recommended changes come first and apply in two presses, with Trade-offs, Advanced and Expert below. Every row explains what it changes and how to turn it off.
• The Junk cleaner tells you how much is safe to clean as soon as you open it. Only safe items are ticked, every item says what happens if you clean it, and a default clean keeps you signed in to your apps.
• Large files checks every drive and sends what you delete to the Recycle Bin, with Put back.
• The DNS Optimizer gives you one clear answer, ignores differences too small to notice, and undoes a switch automatically if lookups fail.
• Desktop apps (formerly Software) shows what's using your space and plans every uninstall in one place. Store apps (formerly UWP Apps) can put back apps that came with Windows.
• Home shows your real optimization progress and offers to restore changes Windows turned back.
• Your PC shows your hardware with maker logos and warns when a display isn't running at its best resolution or refresh rate.

Now free

• Checking every drive at once in Large files.
• Encrypted DNS.
• Uninstalling several apps in one go.
• A note when an app was removed outside eclean, so you can check its leftovers.

Also new

• The Junk cleaner can clean Windows' own leftovers, like old update files and memory dumps, on administrator accounts.
• The Junk cleaner can close open browsers and apps before it cleans, and now checks folders only administrators can read.
• A notification center in the title bar, and notifications when background tasks finish.
• Release notes inside the app.

Fixed

• Cleaning no longer breaks Spotify sign-in or removes Logitech G HUB's settings.
• The Junk cleaner no longer counts event logs it can't remove.
• Large batches of protected files now clean reliably.
• Encrypted DNS no longer falls back to plain DNS without telling you.
• Performance Mode now works on standard accounts.
• The eclean service now installs on clean Windows 11 PCs.
• Crash reports now follow your privacy setting before anything is sent.

Renamed and removed

• Software is now Desktop apps, UWP Apps is Store apps, Find large files is Large files, Scheduled cleanup is Automatic cleanup and Beta tweaks are Expert tweaks.
• Secure delete is no longer in Large files. The File shredder still has it.

Pro trials now show their status and end date in the app. Interface scaling follows your Windows text size, with a custom size when you prefer. This release also fixes issues with sign-in, cleaning, uninstalling apps, and restoring performance settings.

Biggest changes

• Trial accounts now show a trial badge and end date in account settings, with notifications when trial access changes. Eligible accounts can start a trial from the pricing screen.
• Interface scaling now resizes the whole app, including images and controls. Follow Windows text size or choose a custom scale from 67% to 200%. Use Ctrl and the plus or minus key, or Ctrl and the mouse wheel, to adjust it.
• Restoring performance mode now keeps track of changes that could not be restored, so you can retry them instead of losing the record.
• Cleaner now respects wildcard exclusions and avoids offering targets it cannot delete. Uninstaller fixes prevent crashes with some Unicode app names and stop overlapping uninstall workflows.

Minor changes

• Browser sign-in handles callback listener and startup timing issues more reliably.
• Updates recover from damaged startup health data, with fixes to update state handling and notifications.
• Long-running Atlas operations are less likely to hold up other work in the app.
• Booster restores scheduled task changes through the privileged service and preserves their recorded state.
• Fixes improve DNS restoration, Windows notifications, feedback submission, and Discord activity handling.

Updates now show what they are doing, Pro access follows account changes while eclean is open, and device limits can be resolved during sign-in. Atlas Mode execution and Optimizer history get a reliability and clarity pass too.

Biggest changes

• Updates now show preparation, live download progress, installation status, and failures in a dedicated panel, with a retry option when something goes wrong.
• Plan and Pro device changes now refresh while eclean is open. If sign-in reaches a device limit, eclean shows the devices you can manage so you can remove a signed-in device, free a Pro slot, or continue on Free where available.
• The pricing screen now has monthly and yearly choices, shows active promotional pricing with the normal price and renewal terms, and counts down time-limited offers.
• Atlas Mode optimization batches are more reliable. Queued operations now show as in progress, earlier failures block later steps, cancellations report accurately, and interactive scripts point you to their Atlas window output.

Minor changes

• Settings now includes Activate Pro on this PC when a paid account is signed in on Free, with a route to device management when every slot is occupied.
• Pending Changes and Optimizer History now pair each action with the setting it affects, making entries easier to scan in every supported language.
• Browser sign-in now ends on a proper return page and no longer leaves the desktop window unresponsive after the callback.
• Startup session checks recover from network problems more reliably, and quick dashboard reads stay responsive while long-running scans are underway.

Atlas Mode headlines this release: eclean now fully supports AtlasOS. Sign-in moves to the system browser with a redesigned login screen, and optimizer, sign-in, and localization fixes ride along.

Biggest changes

• Added Atlas Mode, full support for AtlasOS. On a supported Atlas installation the Optimizer gains an Atlas tab with all 97 operations from the Atlas 0.5.0 playbook as searchable cards, while eclean optimizations that Atlas manages become read-only "Managed by Atlas" entries so the two never conflict. Every Atlas script is verified against a signed, hash-pinned manifest before and during execution. The full story is in the announcement post.
• Atlas Mode details: an Atlas indicator in the titlebar shows support status and opens an explainer, the Atlas theme is on by default on Atlas installations, and unreviewed Atlas versions get clear guidance instead of silent behavior changes.
• Replaced the in-app password form with browser-based sign-in. Continuing with eclean now opens the website sign-in in your system browser and returns you to the app automatically, using the same hardened loopback flow as OAuth, which is now PKCE-bound as well.
• Redesigned the login screen into a single stacked sign-in group with clearer labels and a hint that sign-in opens in your browser.

Minor changes

• Optimizer per-user tweaks that hit permission-locked registry keys now apply and revert through the broker instead of failing.
• Two-factor sign-in handles single-use codes correctly, so a rejected code clears the input instead of inviting a retry with the same digits, and temporary provider outages during OAuth offer a retry instead of a dead end.
• A broken release now updates itself before anything else in the app is allowed to run.
• Translated the remaining English-only strings across all 13 non-English languages, including Windows 10 end-of-support messaging and the search engine settings, and Atlas Mode ships fully localized.

This release reworks the Uninstaller, adds Optimizer config import and export, and lets you choose your own search engine. Login and cleanup fixes ride along, with lighter background reporting.

Biggest changes

• Redesigned the Uninstaller. Apps now have list, grid, and compact views with a new toolbar, search, filter dropdown, and grouped sections, plus sorting by size, last used, and install date to surface easy wins faster.
• Added Optimizer config import and export. Save your Optimizer tweaks to a shareable .ecleanopt file and apply them on another machine, with a preview that shows exactly how many entries will apply versus be skipped (locked Pro, unchanged, incompatible, invalid) before anything is written.
• Added a Default search engine setting. Choose which engine eclean uses for web lookups: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Ecosia, Kagi, Startpage, or your own custom HTTPS URL.

Minor changes

• Fixed sign-in for OAuth accounts with MFA enabled.
• Uninstaller detects renamed application executables as leftovers, retains metadata during leftover scans, and improves Microsoft Store (UWP) app detection.
• Junk Cleaner protects Spotify profile state, so approved cleanup no longer signs you out.
• Reduced background reporting.
• Polished app visuals (footer, layout, and spacing) and fixed Optimizer search, filter, and header controls.

The biggest change under the hood since launch is that eclean no longer runs its whole UI as administrator. A reviewed broker service carries the privileged work instead, and startup, the tray, and background usage all benefit.

Biggest changes

• Reworked administrator privileges. eclean now opens as a normal desktop app, with admin-only Windows actions run through a broker service. This fixes startup without making the whole UI run as administrator.
• Reduced background usage when eclean is closed to the tray, by shutting down the WebView instance while the window is closed.
• Fixed tray reopening. Reopening eclean from the tray creates a fresh window, so you no longer need to fully quit the app to get it back.
• Improved launch at login by replacing the old elevated scheduled task with a normal per-user startup entry.
• Routed protected Optimizer, Booster, Junk Cleaner cleanup, and Windows Fixer actions through reviewed broker commands instead of broad app-wide elevation.

Minor changes

• Optimizer reverts restore the exact previous registry values where possible, and unsafe Windows 10 update targets are blocked on unsupported services.
• Booster handles failed Scheduled Task changes correctly, so switches return to the right state when an action fails.
• Cleaner protected cleanup uses scan receipts and item IDs, cleaning approved protected locations while blocking unsafe targets.
• Uninstaller detects MSI apps without normal uninstall strings, including VMware-style entries, and MSI monitoring finishes when Windows Installer confirms removal.
• Your PC storage metrics work better, AMD GPU architecture detection is more accurate, and Sensors update more consistently.
• Added the new Motion setting (System, On, Off) and capped UI scale at 100% to prevent broken layouts.
• Improved refresh busy states, Atlas mode, charts, modals, loading states, pricing copy, subscription checkout, OAuth callback handling, and external auth links.

eclean leaves beta. This release consolidates months of work across every module, with a security hardening pass and broader localization underneath.

Improved

• Optimizer search, filtering, pending change review, history, wording, animations, and incompatible tweak guidance.
• Booster state handling and history behavior for startup apps, services, scheduled tasks, DNS Optimizer, and supported reverts.
• Uninstaller state handling across installed software, Store apps, browser extensions, leftovers, and history.
• Your PC state handling across sensors, system information, CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, network, and degraded states.
• Desktop app stability, release reliability, error reporting, settings, history, caching, path security, and Windows integration.

Fixed

• OS build detection.
• Software Uninstaller can now uninstall chosen games.
• Unsupported GPU behavior, by disabling affected shaders where needed.
• A scan state freeze during Discord checks.
• Cleaner stats, date validation, and category cleaned reporting.
• Large Files deletion safeguards for unsafe or unsupported result types.
• Switch state initialization from checked props.

Security and reliability

• Hardened privileged desktop app operations and resolved an improper access control issue.
• Improved path validity checks for Large Files.
• Improved internal reliability across feature flags, settings, cache, history, the operation journal, startup behavior, tray behavior, lifecycle handling, and Windows integration.
• Modernized internal app foundations and release validation to support a more stable UI build.

Localization

• Improved user-facing terminology across supported languages.
• Updated backend and frontend translation coverage.
• Improved the locale catalog and locale persistence behavior.

Polish and reliability for the features added in 0.2.0. DNS Optimizer is more dependable across more setups, system info is clearer, and startup, cleanup, and uninstall flows run smoother.

• DNS Optimizer is more reliable across more network setups.
• Graphics reporting is clearer, including a better distinction between Adaptive Sync and Dynamic Refresh Rate.
• Quick Optimizer asks before pending changes are discarded.
• Junk Cleaner no longer fails to scan when using a different in-app language.
• Launching at startup now starts eclean in the tray instead of popping the window open.
• Lightweight recovery and uninstall flows are more reliable.

DNS Optimizer and Find Large Files arrive, the two biggest additions since the public beta opened. Polish across startup and dashboard syncing comes with them, plus a few Windows-specific fixes.

New

• DNS Optimizer is now available in the desktop app.
• Find Large Files is now available in the desktop app.

Improved

• Startup, login, 2FA, and OAuth flows are more reliable.
• Home summaries stay in sync better after Optimizer and startup app changes.
• Sleep Study handling is more graceful on unsupported systems.

Removed

• The misleading Sensors degraded banner is gone.

One fix. The Cleaner Quick Actions card on the dashboard no longer claims "Never cleaned" when cleaning history already exists.

This update is mainly about reliability. Startup feels steadier, Cleaner is more responsive, and several Windows-facing tools behave more consistently across more systems.

• Startup, login recovery, and launch-at-startup behavior are more reliable.
• Cleaner feels faster when reviewing results and switching views.
• The Windows installer now uses the proper eclean branding.

First impressions got the attention this time. Onboarding is smoother, startup is more reliable, and several core tools feel more polished day to day.

• Welcome onboarding lets you choose your language, UI scale, launch-at-startup preference, and Discord Rich Presence before you start using the app.
• Cached app data survives restarts more reliably, so system info, dashboard cards, and uninstall results come back consistently.
• Cleaner keeps browser data safe by default and explains browser cleanup warnings more clearly.
• File Shredder lets you select multiple folders at once from the file picker.
• Uninstaller is more reliable for Steam removals, with better tracking when uninstall flows finish.
• Microsoft Store app uninstalling is more stable and loads results more reliably.
• Optimizer hides Windows 11-only tweaks on Windows 10 and checks NTFS and Sleep Study support reliably across different system languages.
• Loading states, empty states, animations, and scrolling feel smoother across more of the app.

Fewer stale sign-in states, Cleaner totals that match their results, and Windows checks that hold up across more systems.

• Sign-in gives clearer messages when your email still needs verification or your account does not have beta access yet.
• Beta sign-up and session refresh handling are more reliable, preventing stale or broken sign-in states.
• Junk Cleaner scans behave more consistently: cancellation is more stable, and the header totals match results accurately.
• Optimizer detects Sleep Study support more accurately and explains unsupported results more clearly.
• NTFS optimization verification is more reliable on systems where different drives report settings differently.
• CPU usage is lower when eclean is opened and minimized to the tray.

The Optimizer explains itself better after this one. Apply outcomes, failures, and pending changes all report accurately, and sign-in errors got the same treatment.

• Sign-in shows an error when your email is not yet verified.
• Optimizer apply results are classified more clearly, so blocked, unsupported, and verification issues are surfaced accurately.
• Optimizer history and toast messages explain failed changes in a more useful way.
• Pending Optimizer changes show reliably after an apply attempt instead of lingering in a stale state.
• Stale pending changes no longer trap you on the home page when restarting the app.
• Junk Cleaner properly reports the found junk files in the top header.

Reliability work across the app, with a few quality-of-life fixes riding along.

• Uninstaller progress and leftover scanning are more reliable.
• Uninstall flows recover more cleanly if the app is closed and reopened mid-process.
• Performance Mode prefers the Atlas power scheme when it is available.
• Optimizer restart prompts clear properly after a reboot.
• Several Optimizer state and modal regressions have been fixed.
• Your PC monitoring pauses while the app is hidden, cutting unnecessary background polling.
• Review submission shows the actual backend error when something goes wrong.
• Status and support links point to the correct pages.
• Unknown RAM manufacturers no longer show awkward fallback text.

The first proper patch of the beta, closing out issues reported in the opening days.

• Cleaner scans handle missing wildcard branches more safely.
• Forgot password now points to the correct reset page.
• The Optimize NTFS tweak now detects correctly.
• Language options persist correctly across app restarts.
• Submitting feedback works again for users who were hitting a permission error.
