Zappit System Cleaner by Cloudeight

File Masks - Advanced Mode

If you're an advanced user you'll find that Zappit is truly customizable to suit your individual needs. While Zappit can be used by the most inexperience beginner, those with advanced computer skills will find Zappit a powerful and customizable tool to make system configuration and cleanup a snap!

One of the features that makes Zappit unique is the File Mask feature. In this dialog you can add masks for any file type you choose. Be sure you know what you're doing when adding files to a file mask. All files with the extension you add will be erased from your hard drive.  Here is a partial listing of some types of temporary and junk files you may wish to add to Zappit's File Mask.

Other Types of temporary and junk files (Advanced Mode)

  • .dmp - Dump file. When Windows (or an application) experiences a crash, a memory dump is performed. If you don't use these files (for trouble shooting), delete them, you can save quite a bit of space! Not removed by Zappit by default since .dmp files are useful for those who use them for troubleshooting Windows problems.  You can add .dmp files to Zappit's File Mask feature by adding *.dmp and the description "Windows Dump File".
     
  • .bak - Backup file; when a new (data) file is created, some programs will rename the old version with a .bak extension. Be careful when removing these files.  Unlike most other system cleaners, Zappit does not remove .bak files by default. These files sometimes contain important program backup information in case primary data becomes corrupted or turns up missing. Delete .bak files at your own risk. To have Zappit automatically clear .bak files add *.bak to Zappit's File Mask feature.
  • .cnt - Help-related file; ever notice those tables of contents when you launch certain Help files? If you don't need a table to help you navigate through a Help file, delete these. They will not come back. Zappit does not remove .cnt files by default. You can, if you wish, add them to Zappit's File Mask feature by adding *.cnt and the description "Windows Help Related Files".
  • .fts - Help-related file; when you perform a search with a Help file, this is created to make all future searches be performed quicker. E.G., not worth having around unless you use Help files on a daily basis. They are re-created if you do a search in a Help file, so these should be regularly scanned for and deleted. Zappit does not remove .fts files by default. You may add *.fts and the description "Help Related Files" to Zappit's File Mask feature if you like.
     
  • gid - Help-related file; when you run a Help file, it creates a GID to make future accesses to that particular help file a tad quicker. They're a complete waste of space. You'll have to delete these on a regular basis, as they are recreated with every Help file execution. Zappit removes .gid files by default.
  • .old - Old file; see .bak.  Zappit removes this file type by default.
     
  • .~mp - Temporary file; see .tmp.  Zappit removes this file type by default.
     
  • .$$$ - Old file. Zappit removes this file type by default
     
  • .000 - Old file. Zappit removes this file type by default
     
  • .tmp - Temporary File. Zappit removes this file type by default
