Can anyone recommend a free program to scrub my disk. Not looking for something which will fox the FBI. Just something quick so that if my PC has to go to the menders, they won't find delete passwords, addresses etc.

EasyCleaner is a small program which searches the Windows registry for entries that are pointing nowhere. EasyCleaner also lets you delete all kinds of unnecessary files such as temps and backups. You can search for duplicate files and you can view some interesting info about your disk space usage! You are also able to manage startup programs, invalid shortcuts and add/remove software list. ToniArts may not be held accountable in any way if EasyCleaner affects your computer in a negative way. List of some features:

Very nice interface!
Finds invalid registry entries ----> deleting them speeds up your computer!
Finds duplicate files ----> deleting them will free disk space!
Finds all unnecessary files like backups, temps etc. ----> deleting them will free disk space!
Finds all invalid shortcuts ----> deleting them will free disk space and increase usability!
Manage programs starting at Windows startup! ----> who knows, you might even catch a virus before it gets serious!
Manage Windows add/remove software listing!
Easily remove Internet Explorer's temporary Internet files, history and cookies!
Very user friendly!
Shows some interesting info about your disk space usage.
Very customizable.
Multi-language support!
Uses only little amount of recources while running!
Huge help file which gives you every little detail about EasyCleaner!
And much more...

The above program is Shareware, but includes a console utility which is the engine for the above program. The console app works easily and does not require a fee. Though, if you are unfamiliar with CLI apps it may not serve you well.

Another option is

I've never used this, but it appears to be what you want.

Be carefull deleting duplicate files!! Your computer may need them!!

I ran a program once that removed DUPLICATE FILES and i had all kinds of problems afterwards........ (Thankfully i was able to recover the files using an UNDELETE program then i got rid of that program)

one should never delete anything by program or by manual methods unless one has sound backups and knows what they are doing,far better to have less disk space than a pc tthat will not load the os
