Simply put: it cleans out your RAM every now and then.

By Future Shock:

CleanMem is a simple but very effective program for trimming memory. One click and it will trim on an adjustable schedule. A litle bit brutal, but there is a theory behind the trimming.

CleanMem really trims. This generates a bit of a problem with optimization/boost and other programs, because it trims everything. The upgrade version is only $4.99, which allows for setting parameters by process. But there is a workaround in the free version. Choose the "Ignore List" option when using the MiniMem setup Wizard. MiniMem will then trim all but the programs you choose to be listed in the dialog box. Still get a big RAM boost from this.

In the end: My idle RAM usage went from 35% to 26% using CleanMem on a 40 minute schedule. Notably, this was with 20 programs added to the "Ignore List"...ones that I want to have their full RAM (Tip: add Explorer.exe).

Compatibility and License

Is CleanMem free?

CleanMem is a restricted version of commercial software, often called freemium which requires you to pay a license fee to unlock additional features which are not accessible with the free version. Download and installation of this software is free, however other similar programs are available from memory optimizer software which may have what you need. 2.5.0 is the latest version last time we checked.

What version of Windows can CleanMem run on?

CleanMem can be used on a computer running Windows 11 or Windows 10. Previous versions of the OS shouldn't be a problem with Windows 8 and Windows 7 having been tested. It comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit downloads.
