FluentCleaner Classic released as open-source Windows utility

FluentCleaner Classic is a free, open-source cleaning utility for Windows designed as a lightweight alternative to CCleaner. Developed by builtbybel on GitHub, the software aims to provide system maintenance without advertisements, bloatware, or constant notifications.

The Classic version utilizes the WinForms architecture, making it highly efficient and suitable for older hardware. Key features include targeted cleaning of temporary files, browser cache, logs, and system remnants. It is a portable application that does not require installation and can be run directly from a USB drive.

Additionally, the software prioritizes privacy by excluding telemetry and data logging. It includes an integrated scheduler via Windows Task Scheduler and offers AI-powered explanation capabilities for cleaning entries using providers such as Groq, OpenAI, or Anthropic.
