Privacy Eraser - Clean Your Tracks & Protect Your Privacy!
I tried this utility on a previously un-scanned, heavily-used, older, Win10 laptop, running the 64-bit portable version of Privacy Eraser. My attention first went to the large "SCAN Now" button... which I clicked. This initial, complete, scan took almost 15 minutes, but found a lot of stuff... 25.48 GB worth, in 91,846 files, and 2,200 registry entries. I could have limited scanning to certain areas, like browsers (or any of the 4 of them), or Windows software only, or desktop and add-on apps. Further options exist for wiping drives, or shredding disks, or setting Windows defaults, like start page, saving locations, auto completes, and password management, along with registry cleaning, cookies wiping, history erasure.
On this machine it even offered to restore Microsoft Internet Explorer.
This overview is provided by the developer.
