What do you use?

But after their systems were infected with malware a couple years ago and CCleaner killing known good programs while cleaning, I rarely use it anymore. Honestly if you have a SSD in your system, then using CCleaner isn't really necessary. Just clean out the temp folders and call it good.

I thought it would get more response here. No SSD here.
