For plain ole straight up, in yer face Windows, Apps & Junk Files Cleaning ... CCleaner IS my weapon of choice.
I'm quite comfortable and satisfied with CCleaner's results there.

For SAFE Registry Cleaning ... CCleaner is the way to go.
Okay, by "SAFE," I don't mean give it carte blanche to delete everything it finds.
I just mean, there are just less Registry issues found, thus less Info / Data to try and decipher and interpret.

For DEEPER, more thorough Registry Cleaning, I prefer JetClean and Glary Utilities.
Of course, more Info-deciphering, fuller attention and extra caution are required.

When I first used JetClean and Glary Utilities, I forget which one, (Whichever one I ran first) ... but one of those two found a sizable amount of old Opera Browser Registry Entries, which CCleaner and even Revo Uninstaller had never found.  They were old Opera Browser Registry Entries from the many Opera Snapshots I had installed and uninstalled over some time.

So, since all 3 (CCleaner, JetClean and Glary Utilities) appear to have a particular strength and prowess in different areas than the others, I got in the habit of using all 3 for optimum cleaning.  I'm satisfied with the results of my Mercenary Cleaning Trio Combo.   ;D

Thanks Chim. Your input taught me something new. From the responses you received I think I'll stick with tried and true CCleaner.
With over 1000 registry problems sounds somewhat risky to use Jetclean. The one place I don't want to mess with is the registry.  :)

@ craigb Would you recommend Jetclean for a newbie?
Was pretty simple to understand, just untick the registry box if you dont want to go there! the other option is doing what i did by making an image then i let JetClean have full reign to clean whatever it found ( just a test ) iv not noticed any adverse effects so far after several reboots and trying all programs.

Another promising tool that has been growing in popularity for a while now is "System Ninja" from Singularlabs http://singularlabs.com/software/system-ninja/ This tool found a leftover running process of JetClean :o, even after i'd run ccleaner and done a full manual search and deletion plus it picked up an extra 1009 files ;D

It does not touch or clean the registry unless you add the registry plugin.

System ninja looks an interesting tool but im always weary of "deleting" things.
Has this program been tried and tested.?
Another cleaner i have seen is Privazar.Have you tried this.?

I tried it before posting and imo is a better tool than jetclean since it found more rubbish and doesn't leave behind running processes :o ( note that without system ninja i wouldn't have even known there was a leftover process of jetclean as i thought i had deleted everything ) but if your not comfortable in using these tools then i suggest sticking to CCleaner

This topic is six years old and also titled Jetclean, please don't change topic titles ::) there is also no problem with CCleaner here, try running Windows Disk Clean-up then reboot your system.

It isn't broken and it isn't resident unless that's what you allowed it to be.
Using custom instead of default allows you to choose. this should help,
