If you run one of these tools and have nothing in the particular folder that has not been accessed for 30 days or longer you will be notified that no files were found to clean. That means that for these folders, if you have opened or edited a file within the last 30 days, the background tool will not recognize that file as being one you want to clean. The assumption with these three is that you will want to clean up the files that you have not accessed recently, leaving those that you look at regularly. The first three tools listed will clean your Documents, Downloads, and Pictures folders. The other tools, and this one as well, can be run at any time by clicking the Run now button. In the picture below, the user has decided to schedule the Temporary File Cleaner to run every 3 days at 10 PM. When you click the Tools tab in WinZip Options you will see the five tools. To use and configure these background tools, you must open WinZip, click the Settings tab, and click WinZip Options. It is important to note that on Windows 10 you will be unable to use this WinZip feature if you either have all notifications from apps turned off or if you have turned notifications coming from WinZip off. These tools can help you to regain space on your system and securely store or delete files.
