Purify finds the caches, build junk and forgotten files Windows keeps, tells you what each one is, and moves what you pick to the Recycle Bin. Change your mind, and it is still there.
Every scanner reads a fixed list of known locations. Nothing outside that list shows up, every row says why it is safe to remove, and nothing is picked for you.
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Chromium, Firefox and Opera profile caches, Chromium's code and GPU caches, service worker storage, and package caches from Store apps. Purify also clears the three spots Windows forgets: Temp, CrashDumps and the internet cache.
npm, node-gyp headers, pip, uv, Yarn, pnpm, Bun, Go build and module caches, Cargo crates, Electron downloads, Gradle, NuGet, VS Code extensions, Playwright browsers and Hugging Face models. The ones that cost real download time are tagged Check First and left out of the selection for you.
Documents, Desktop, Downloads, Videos, Pictures and Music, filtered to the size you choose and sorted with the largest first. Every row carries its folder and the last time it was touched. Dependency folders such as node_modules, venv, target and dist are skipped, and virtual machine disks are labelled as such.
Every app Windows lists, with the space it takes and the leftovers it left in AppData, ProgramData and the rest. Run the app's own uninstaller when it has one, or let Purify move what is left. Purify will not remove itself.
Purify moves files to the Recycle Bin, the same place a drag and drop would put them. Deleting them for good stays your call, so a clean is never one click away from a mistake.
Purify is a one-time purchase. Buy it once and use it for as long as Windows runs it, updates included. The launch price runs while the first 50 copies last.
They go to the Recycle Bin, exactly as if you had dragged them there yourself. Purify has no permanent delete, so a mistake costs you a trip to the bin instead of the file.
Because the files are in the Recycle Bin, where Windows still counts them against your disk. Purify says how much is waiting there. Empty the bin when you are happy with a clean, and the space comes back.
No. It runs as your own user account, reads the places your account can already read, and never asks to elevate.
Not unless you pick them. Large Files skips dependency and build folders such as node_modules, venv, target, dist, build and out, and every file it lists is there because you asked to see files that size.
No analytics, no account, no telemetry. The only request it makes is the update check, and only when you press the button in About.
From Windows Settings, the same way as any other app. Purify appears in the installed apps list like everything else.
Dodo Payments takes the card and emails the receipt. The page that opens straight after checkout carries the installer and the portable build, on a link that lasts a day. After that, put the address you paid with into the updates page and the current version, or any later one, comes straight back.
