What's New - v26.05.22
[Added]
- Custom Cleaners: create your own cleaning rules right inside the app
- Winapp2 entries : write
.inicleaners using the same format as the built-in database. They show up in the Cleaner tab and work exactly like built-in entries. - PowerShell scripts: add
.ps1scripts that run with one click and stream live output - Built-in editor with ready-to-use templates for both formats
- AI-assisted creation : describe what to clean, and AI generates the entry for you. (Requires a free Groq API key in Settings.)
- Toggle entries on/off, search, edit, delete : all from the new Custom Cleaners page
- Community links (Reddit, Neowin, Deskmodder, GitHub) in the Custom Cleaners actions menu;encouraging the community to create and share missing cleaners
- Winapp2 entries : write
- Browser detection before cleaning: warns you when browsers are still running. Open browsers lock cache and history files; closing them first means a more thorough cleanup
- A starter pack with useful cleaners and scripts is available on the Releases/Assets page; just drop it into the
Customfolder (override default)
[Fixed]
- Extensive under-the-hood refactoring for improved stability and maintainability
- Fixed Winapp2 parser not recognizing entries pasted via the built-in editor (WinUI 3
TextBoxwrites\r-only line endings instead of\r\n) - Rounded dialog corners across the app
[Removed]
- Extensions / CLI Tools has been removed and replaced by Custom Cleaners
Warning
Breaking change: Extensions from previous versions are not compatible with Custom Cleaners and will not be migrated automatically.
This was a deliberate decision; FluentCleaner now focuses purely on cleaning rather than overwhelming users with complex external scripts. Power users can still recreate any previous functionality through Custom Cleaners using PowerShell scripts
To restore equivalent functionality, download the official cleaner Custom pack from and place it in the Custom folder next to FluentCleaner.exe.
