CCleaner for Android is an app for ridding your phone of the junk that accumulates.
You probably guess what the first C in CCleaner stands for already. Suffice to say, CCleaner has been around for years and abandoned its full title a long time ago to sound more grown-up.
Regardless of the finer points of branding, CCleaner is worthy of storage space on your Android device. It gets rid of all the stuff that slows down your phone, so it feels like brand new.
For not only does it clean, but CCleaner also optimizes your device by removing junk, freeing storage space, cleaning up your RAM and system files to ensure peak performance.

Often with an Android device, it feels like you’re locked in an ongoing battle with the technology. And usually, it seems that you are on the losing side given the number of search and destroy missions you must go on to free up storage space.
However, if you are armed with CCleaner, you have a secret weapon that will give you the edge.
As soon as you run the app for the first time, you will quickly see a substantial performance difference. Thereafter, it’s merely a matter of a regular scan to keep on top of the excess weight your phone tries to carry around.
There are several ways CCleaner goes about this.
Firstly, you can kill tasks and clean up memory with RAM Booster and hibernate apps you don’t want running in the background.
Secondly, you can boost both battery life and performance by disabling functions you don’t need and create profiles to save your battery depending on where you are, for example, at home, in a car, or at work.
