Fixato clears the junk that actually piles up — temporary files and caches — and only those. Only whitelisted paths, your confirmation first, and honest numbers: if there's nothing worth cleaning, it tells you.
No magic "we freed 40 GB!" claims. Fixato shows you exactly what it would remove and how much space you'd actually get back, then only touches temp and cache folders — never your files.
It scans a whitelisted set of temp/cache paths, reports the real reclaimable size, and deletes strictly within those paths. Your documents, photos and folders are never in scope.
It lists exactly what it would clear and how much space it frees — real bytes, not a scare number. Your files stay untouched.
Read-only. Fixato tallies the reclaimable space in known-safe locations so you can decide.
The scratch files Windows and apps leave behind and forget to remove — measured, so the number you're shown is the number you'd actually get back.
Named toolget_junk_files
How much room is genuinely left on each drive, before anything is proposed.
Named toolget_disk_space
Which folders are really eating your disk — you can drill into one instead of guessing. It only lists; it never copies or moves a thing.
Named toolanalyze_disk_usage
Hibernation file, page file, a leftover Windows.old from an upgrade, OneDrive files kept locally. This is usually where the surprising tens of gigabytes are.
Named toolget_hidden_disk_space
The programs taking up room, including the ones that came with the machine and that you never chose.
Named toollist_installed_programs
Each name above is one of Fixato's named tools. The agent picks from that closed list — it can't type a command of its own. The complete list is published with the licence.
You confirm each one, deletion stays inside the whitelisted paths above, and Fixato says out loud what you lose — including when the answer is "nothing, and not much space either".
Deletes the reclaimable files it listed, in temp and cache paths only — nothing outside those paths, ever, and never your documents, photos or folders.
Named toolclean_temp_files
Empties the cached page data in Chrome, Edge, Brave or Firefox. Your passwords, history and bookmarks are not touched; sites will just load a little slower the first time.
Named toolclear_browser_cache
Removes superseded Windows update components. Fixato runs this without the option that would make already-installed updates impossible to uninstall — that door stays open.
Named toolrun_component_cleanup
This one is permanent: what's in the bin is gone, and no restore point brings it back. Fixato says so before it asks, and it's the only cleanup here you can't walk back.
Named toolempty_recycle_bin
Each name above is one of Fixato's named tools. The agent picks from that closed list — it can't type a command of its own. The complete list is published with the licence.
Diagnosis is read-only. Every change needs your explicit confirmation and is logged on your machine; system repairs are preceded by a restore point — or they're blocked. See security & safety.
Honest diagnosis is free. No account needed.
