One-click Health Check
Scans every safe target, shows the reclaimable total on a live dial, and clears it. Nothing risky runs here.
Overview
Nyxall Cleaner reclaims real disk space — temp files, browser and app caches, shader data, privacy traces and disk bloat — through a modern UI. Every action carries an honest risk label, privacy data is snapshotted before it is touched, and nothing is ever auto-deleted.
Nyxall Cleaner finds the junk that actually adds up and clears it through a modern interface, instead of a “cleaner” that quietly bundles adware. It reports exactly how much space can be reclaimed, labels every action by risk, and never deletes anything without being asked.
Honest about risk
Every target carries one of three labels. Safe items regenerate on their own — caches, temp files, thumbnails. Caution items cost you state, such as being logged out of websites or losing open tabs. Risky items mean permanent data loss or a system change; they are never selected by default and always require confirmation in a dialog.
Reversible where it counts
Privacy traces live in the Windows registry, where a mistake is normally unrecoverable. Before any privacy clean, Nyxall Cleaner exports the affected keys to a timestamped snapshot in its own data directory, and the Backups page restores them in one click.
Careful by construction
Recursive walks skip symlinks and junctions, so OneDrive placeholders and other reparse points are never followed or double-counted. Files locked by a running application are detected and reported, so you are told to close the app rather than being shown a silent zero. Every action ends in a toast and is written to the Action Log.
Access
Nyxall Cleaner is available to people given access through Nyxall. Sign in with an account that has an active entitlement and the installer is served privately — there is no public download link, and no GitHub account or repository access is involved at any point. New versions are obtained the same way; the application performs no automatic updates and makes no network calls of its own.
What it does
11 features. The interfaces below are illustrative studies of each one.
-
One-click Health Check
Scans every safe target, shows the reclaimable total on a live dial, and clears it. Nothing risky runs here.
-
Smart Cleaner
System junk: %TEMP%, Windows temp, thumbnail, icon and font caches, shader caches, crash dumps, WER reports, Delivery Optimization, update cache and the Recycle Bin — each tiered safe, caution or risky.
-
Deep browser cleaning
Per-profile cache, cookies, history, sessions and saved passwords for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Opera GX and Firefox. Cache is preselected; cookies and history are opt-in; passwords are gated as risky.
-
Disk Analyzer
A drill-down treemap of what is consuming the disk, plus a list of the largest files. Each one can be shown in its folder or permanently deleted after a confirmation.
-
Drive Health
Health status, temperature, power-on hours and error counters per physical disk, plus endurance used when Windows reports a wear value. Read-only.
-
App and game caches
Discord, Spotify, Slack, Teams, Steam, Epic, VS Code, Adobe, Office and OneDrive logs, plus NVIDIA, AMD and Intel shader caches.
-
Reversible privacy cleaning
Recent documents, Run history, Explorer search, typed URLs and program-launch records are exported to a registry snapshot before they are cleared, so any privacy clean can be rolled back.
-
Disk Optimizer
Detects each drive's media type and does the right thing: TRIM for SSDs — never a mechanical defrag — defragmentation only for HDDs, plus DISM component store analyze and clean.
-
Duplicate Finder
A size to signature to full-hash pass, so only true byte-for-byte copies are reported. Nothing is auto-deleted; you choose which copy to keep.
-
Old Files
Finds large files untouched for months, with the option to send them to the Recycle Bin rather than delete outright.
-
Private by design
No in-app account, no telemetry, no bundled adware and no background service. Everything stays on the machine.
