Hi

1. There are some drivers/updates and such I want to hide showing up in the uninstaller and I can't remove it's entry (MSI installer) and I don't want to uninstall it, is it possible to add a function where you can hide entrys from showing up?

2. Cleanup of the Google Earth cache.

3. Cleanup of the whole system from common and safe to erase junk files, also including an option to add custom filetypes for advanced users.

4. Empty folders finder.

That's all for now.

Nice program and cheers!

Well in the case of hiding entries you don't want to keep showing after you made a scan, I suggest you add them to the ignore list. Options>Exclude>Add File/Add Folder/Add Registry.

If you can manually locate the folder where the Google Earth cache is kept, you can manually add that to the Include list. Options>Include>Add Folder/Add File. You can also use this function to clean folders where there are junk files, however this can be unsafe if any necessary files are deleted.

Adding custom file types is good idea however, there is still a risk that some necessary files might get deleted in this procedure just because they share a common file type with those you would often find as junk files.

I think the OP is talking about ability to (un)hide entries in the Tools / Uninstall panel.

If you search the forums for "empty folder" (with the quotes) you'll see quite a few discussions on this topic

Removing some empty folders that are needed by the system will only result into problems. See this old post here for an explanation.

There's a recent topic about cleaning it here.
