Windows Memory Cleaner

This free RAM cleaner uses native Windows features to clear memory areas. Sometimes, programs do not release the allocated memory, making the computer slow. That is when you use Windows Memory Cleaner to optimize the memory, so you can keep working without wasting time restarting your system.

The app has a minimalistic interface and smart features. It's portable, and you do not need to install it, but it requires administrator privileges to run. Click on the download button below and run the executable to get started.

🚀 Features

Auto optimization

• Every X hours - The optimization will run by period
• When free memory is below X percent - The optimization will run if free memory is below the specified percentage

Compact Mode

• Arrow (Up/Down) next to the minimize button to collapse and extend the window

Memory Areas

• Clean Combined Page List - Flushes the blocks from the combined page list effectively only when page combining is enabled
• Clean Modified Page List - Flushes memory from the modified page list, writing unsaved data to disk and moving the pages to the standby list
• Clean Processes Working Set - Removes memory from all user-mode and system working sets and moves it to the standby or modified page lists. Note that by the time processes run, any code will necessarily populate their working sets to do so
• Clean Standby List - Flushes pages from all standby lists to the free list
• Clean Standby List (Low Priority) - Flushes pages from the lowest-priority standby list to the free list
• Clean System Working Set - Removes memory from the system cache working set

Multi-Language

• Arabic Chinese Dutch English French German Greek Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Macedonian Polish Portuguese Serbian Slovenian Spanish Turkish Ukrainian

🌐 Translation

If you are a native speaker of any language other than English, you can contribute by translating the file: English.json

💡 You can test any translation by creating a file alongside the executable

1. Visit https://ss64.com/locale.html to get the locale description of the language
2. Save it as {locale-description}.json using UTF-8 as character encoding
3. Launch the application. If successful, the new language and changes will be visible
4. Either submit a pull request or upload the file to the translation discussion

💡 If you are a .NET developer

1. You can add the new file to the Resources\Localization folder
2. Change the file build action property to Embedded Resource
3. Rebuild and run the WinMemoryCleaner project
