Use it to clean up WeChat and save 10G space in minutes

PC WeChat and mobile WeChat have always been the applications we use most frequently.

After all, as a national-level application now, almost everyone uses "WeChat" to communicate, and it has become a lifestyle.

But wow, it seems that no one has ever paid attention to how much space WeChat takes up over time.

Current Status of PC WeChat

Although WeChat is less complex than QQ, it still takes up a lot of space.

However, this is not a problem with WeChat. Our cache files mainly come from daily chat files, pictures, videos, voice, picture caches from mini-programs and public accounts, etc.

Taking Xiao Lei’s WeChat Files folder as an example, Xiao Lei cleaned it up once half a month ago, and now 4GB of client data and cache have accumulated.

Most of the caches are group chat pictures, videos, and voice messages that have nothing to do with you.

If you manually delete files in the WeChat Files folder, and you are not familiar with the file ownership, it will be troublesome if you delete files by mistake...

In order to solve this problem, developer @BlackBoXo recently developed a "WeChat client data automatic deletion tool".

Delete useless WeChat cache, this is enough

As the name suggests, the "WeChat Client Data Automatic Deletion Tool" can automatically delete a large amount of files, videos, pictures and other data content automatically downloaded by WeChat on the PC.

This is a single-file gadget with no complicated installation steps. You can use it directly after downloading and opening it.

"WeChat Client Data Automatic Deletion Tool" is still open source software, and Xiao Lei is still very confident about the security of open source software.

Github address: https://github.com/blackboxo/AutoDeleteFileOnPCWechat

Careful friends will find that there is also a function to clear chat history in the settings interface, but this method will be "one size fits all" and directly clear all WeChat chat history on the computer...

Moreover, this clearing method cannot effectively delete all useless cache data, and there is no way to freely set the time interval for the files to be deleted.

So we still use this green tool.

Before we start using it, we first click the button in the lower left corner of WeChat on PC -> Settings -> General Settings -> Open Folder -> Copy the full path of the file explorer to the gadget.

In fact, the xx folder in WeChat Files\xx is our WeChat account.

After entering the storage path of the WeChat files, we can customize how long ago we want to delete the files and the file types we want to delete according to our needs.

Click OK and the cached data will be automatically deleted.

Wait a few seconds and the cleaning will be completed.

It will put the cleaned cache into the Recycle Bin instead of deleting it directly, giving us the opportunity to "start over again."

Because this is a new gadget, there are still many features that can be added and improved.

The author has made a list of some features that need to be improved on Github, and will improve them one by one.

Now it supports the PC version downloaded from the WeChat official website, the WeChat for Windows version downloaded from the Microsoft Store, and the WeChat UWP version downloaded from the Microsoft Store.

at last

In general, Xiao Lei thinks it is a very practical green tool that does not need to be installed. You can use it by double-clicking it to clear the large amount of cache accumulated over a long period of use of WeChat.

Friends who need it can get on the car and try it.
