are there any programs that find and delete unneeded files?

So why - when I uninstall demo programs, then later decide to try a new version - it says "Sorry, Demo expired", when I had manually looked through all areas to find everything with the name of that demo? There's obviously something still left behind.
Let us know what you think of the new version. I've never used Clean Sweep, but I've been thinking of getting it if it's good. I'd be interested to hear your experience.Sogni said:The best I've been able to find is Aladdin's Clean Sweep... altho it's an old version (like 3 versions old now?) that came with Norton System Works (old version too)... thinking of buying the new version of Clean Sweep ($50 I think).

How is that not relevant to the original post?
