The best way to totally clean a hard disk on computer was to format
c:.  But I don?t really have the time to reinstall the drivers,
updates, all programs/games, their patches, then all saved files.

So I?m looking for a good solid hard disk clean program, and to flush
the Operating system clean again, and get rid of bits and pieces left
over from old programs and demos.  And preferably, not one that does
it all automatically.

After a year, the computer here is feeling bloated, with rubbish.

I use windows XPsp2.

If it was freeware, would that be okay?...  ; )

Take a look at CCleaner, and maybe try it out.
It works with XP and, though it can be set to
run without supervision and remove everything,
you can also pick and choose what you want it
to remove and what you don't.

Let me know if it satisfies your needs, and 
constitutes a suitable answer:

Hmmm?that doesn?t look to bad for a freeware program, I wouldn?t have
minded paying $ for something really good.  But I?ll give that a go.
Glad that was answered quickly, thanks sublime1, most likely spend
this evening doing that.

I know about this program from having used it for
many years, and having found it effective and
reliable during that time.
