Well, i used registry cleaner, but the major issue is you need to purchase it, if you download the free/trial version of it, it only detects and deletes the most normal one, yet most suspicious ones will be shown yet not erased.

So is there any other freely available registry cleaning tool??

Thanks !

I just wanted to make sure those deleted data wont mess with my disk space.
I know it will work with removable devices. Never tried with HDD

Sorry, its a silly doubt that pop up in my mind when I was using an 80GB hard disk with 5 partitions, and it will get pretty crowded if I had to store lots of large files.
First of all when u delete the data goes to the recycle bin. that means that the pointers to the data are lost and are targetted in the recycle bin!! when u do a restore from the recycle bin the data is presented back to you on the same place that u had, but this pointer is not necessarily stored in the same cluster that it wwas before on the hardisk... but still contains a point to the file that u deleted. When u Shift+Delete the pointer to the header of the file is lost and showing you that the space is free now!!!! but all the clusters occupied by the 700MB are still in place but the enteries in the file allocation table are turned to 0's. So once u start adding data in your hard disk at some point your data will be overriting on the 700MB movie file as it is reported as a free space. so for example you copy data of 300MB this over rides the 700MB space, leaving 400MB of data still on its place. When you use a recovery software it depends on the algorithm written to recover software to recover the 400MB of data, the stronger the algorithm the better a software is said to be coz u have a better chances of service in recovering your data. No recovery software can recovery 100%of data if the space has been overwritten many a times.... the only possible method of erasing the data is to do a low level formating in which the clusters are recreated again by burning on the harddrive which is like a factory setting.

Thanks a lot man that clears by doubts completely. Sorry, I just didn't know how to ask the question right.

I have used many registry cleaners like Advanced windows personal care , CCleaner , Amust registry cleaner , Registry Mechanic 7 and one more going by the name of Blue(something).....

Each shows a number of errors and cleans it...Some of them also do a registry Defrag and a host of other functions....

But if like me you were curious and installed multiple reg cleaners ....you will notice this
i scan and clean the reg using one reg cleaner....I rescan it with the same s/w and it shows no errors (registry is clean)....Now i scan using another reg cleaner and it ll show a lot of errors !

I have tried this with most reg cleaners (free and commercial) and the same thing happens ..........

If you dont believe me try it out urself ........
