Cleanup 4.01 (for Palm OS)
Cleanup 4.01 (for Palm OS)
Cleanup is a companion product to
Uninstall Manager.
Get rid of leftovers:
Cleanup lists, examines and lets you delete items in the RAM that are not associated with any one application on your device; items that DO NOT share a Creator ID with one of the installed applications.
Leftover files and preferences survive hard-resets; the HotSync Manager restores them one by one to your device. Use Cleanup to get rid of them once and for all.
Note: To backup files, your device MUST must have an SD Card.
CleanUp can also be included as part of the NeatFreak Pack Bundles!
vapor20: doesn't work on the Treo 755p
wombat88: I've used other preference manager apps in the past. This is okay but rather complicated to use. I purchased it but am not certain I'm happy I did. Other apps I've used in the past (PrefMngr, but it doesn't work on the Treo 650) made cleaning up orphaned files much easier. It is difficult to know with this application what is an orphan and what isn't. The signature files take up space that is at a premium as well.
chocoman57: Watch out! Trying to clean up and delete files wiped out all my preferences, my information like owner of Treo and also registration numbers I had entered after buying software after trials. Good thing I kept the original e-mails and was able to re-enter registrations codes. Too complicated, don't touch this
shou5: works real well and deleted all the files that needed to be deleted to free up extra space. Thanks...
oppl: Essential to me, together with Uninstall Manager! Works fine, with an easy and clear interface ...it helps you to keep your Treo clean
Josiah: No problems with Treo 650 and helps to keep your precious memory as lean as possible.
Version History
v4.01
- FIX: Copying shortcut files and any other files with invalid characters to the card.
- CHANGE: Added a warning item to the Files tab.
v4.00
- Release version: See the beta update notes below for all the details.
- NEW: New icons on the Details dialog so you can easily tell what each field stands for.
- FIX: Aborting search when searching the card sometimes didn't work.
- FIX: GUI glitch when restoring backed-up files to the RAM.
v4.00b
- BETA VERSION for testing purposes only.
- Cleanup v4 received a total facelift; some major new features have been added plus lots of adjustments/improvements to the previous code.
- New GUI: Compatible with all the rest of the NeatFreak Pack programs. The new interface allows you to navigate the program and understand Cleanup’s functions with greater ease than ever before.
- Quick Clean: Add multiple items to the new Quick Clean feature and instantly get rid of pesky items or private information in bulk. You can also undo any Quick Clean session by using Northglide Undo in case you mistakenly delete something you actually need (Northglide Undo v1.02 must be installed).
- How often do you realize that you're running out of space and wonder what to delete, what you still need and how to make all that 'temporary removal process' easier? In one simple step, the new Spacemaker feature will help you make as much room as you need, so you can install any space-hogging file and restore everything back when you’re ready. Spacemaker moves entire applications (the app itself along with its files) and any other files that can be safely moved to a special location on the expansion card. Then, when you decide what to keep and what to delete, select the Spacemaker button to put everything back to the where it was.
- The new version of Cleanup offers highly enhanced card cleaning functionality: View all files on the expansion card, all non-Palm files and unassociated card databases: With multiple different file views (and more will be added in the future!), Cleanup v4 helps you clean your expansion cards from old leftovers and reclaim your space!
- Improved Creator ID search: Find out which application on your device created that mysterious item! It’s faster, more accurate and more powerful. The new Search function will even search throughout the entire expansion card(s), not only specific locations.
- Improved Search Results page.
- A single Preferences view shows records from both of the system preferences files and lists multiple preferences saved under the same Creator ID together (from both of the preferences files).
- Easy to access Backup dialog - Improved backup mechanism and handling: Added support for overwriting (and force-deleting) existing RAM files when replacing with backup copies. Added ‘Restore All’ and ‘Delete All’ options.
- Improved Ignore List dialog (previously Safe List). Hide items from the Unassociated… files and preferences lists.
- Signature File: View information about the installed Signature File, its creation date and the number of records it includes (info about various applications). Update to the latest Signature File directly from your phone! (on compatible devices).
- Show All Items option removed. There is now a different way (much simpler) for displaying the information in both Prefs. and Files lists by using a top level selection list.
- Settings dialog: Choose between ‘Basic’ and ‘Advanced’ to change all of the program’s settings accordingly.
- Added support for one-hand navigation (on compatible devices).
- Faster loading of list items and comparing them with the Signature File: No longer you have to wait every time you switch between views for Cleanup to check the entire Signature File all over again. The records are now “cached” making it much easier to switch between the different views (the records will be re-cached when switching to the top level files and preferences views).
- Select Card: Choose the expansion card to be used by the Spacemaker function and for saving backups (on compatible devices with multiple expansion cards or an internal drive).
- The new search and loading progress forms make it much easier to see and abort any time consuming process such as checking items with the Signature File.
- New and improved Item Details dialog.
- New list icons/indicators to help you instantly learn more about any item on your device and the expansion card. Find out if it was monitored by Uninstall Manager, whether it is listed in the Signature File, if it’s a system item or if it has an associated application or not.
- New list legend dialog so that you can quickly tell what every icon on the list means.
- Can now force delete protected files.
- LOTS of other improvements and changes.
