Nice video. A high-performance gaming PC can be a real investment, but it won’t do you any good if you don’t perform regular maintenance to keep it in peak condition.

It's been five years, do you still recommend CCleaner or is there something better?

It works pretty well still and gets the job done.

The reason I ask is since their last update, the number of trackers detected increased dramatically but the number removed remained small. The scan I did a few minutes ago revealed 2960 trackers but the program only removed 1325, which is actually a higher percentage than normal; it could be as low at 14 with the same number of trackers found. When I refresh it detects only one tracker of the 1600+ that were left untouched. I'm due to renew my license soon and my confidence in CCleaner is not high but I am at a loss because I am also not qualified to evaluate the pertinent information.
