TidyWindow

TidyWindow – Latest Update

Safety Improvements

• Expanded protected folder coverage to include Program Files, ProgramData, and user-profile roots.
• Default cleanup now skips hidden, system, and recent files, with clear toggles to override.
• Recycle Bin behavior corrected <-> no silent permanent deletes, with explicit fallback handling.
• Force delete now requires manual arming, auto-disarms after use, and includes clearer warnings.

Detection & Scan Enhancements

• Added an independent toggle for system files instead of tying them to hidden items.
• Deep scan now supports in-flight cancellation with a live cancellation token.

Browser & Cleanup Coverage

• Browser cleanup expanded beyond Edge with support for Chrome and Firefox profiles.

Service & Automation Reliability

• Service control execution now uses a validated internal service name to avoid mismatches.
• Manual “Run Now” works even when automation is turned off.
• Updated service timeout logic (no fixed limit, respects disabled or slow services).
• Threat Watch now includes parent process and command-line metadata to improve triage context.
