Shellbag Analyzer & Cleaner 1.31

Shellbag Analyzer & Cleaner is a free software for Windows that protects user privacy by analyzing and cleaning registry keys known as ShellBags. These keys store information about system activities, such as names, paths, sizes, positions, and viewing settings of folders opened in Windows Explorer, including data from already deleted directories. This can pose a privacy risk, as such records may reveal details about accessed files and folders, even after their deletion.

The program allows scanning the system with a click on the "Analyze" button, displaying a detailed list with information such as path, entry type, size, creation, modification, and access dates. After analysis, the user can select which ShellBags to remove, with options to clean data from deleted local folders, networks, removable devices, search results, among others. The software also offers advanced features, such as secure cleaning with multiple passes to prevent data recovery and backup of information in .reg files, useful for audits or restoration.

Shellbag Analyzer & Cleaner does not require installation, being portable and lightweight. It is a reliable tool for those looking to complement traditional cleaning utilities, such as CCleaner, keeping the system free from sensitive traces without compromising the user experience.
