Device Cleanup Tool 1.5.1 released

Published by

The Device Cleanup Tool version 1.5.1 has been released, providing users with a portable solution to manage non-present devices on their Windows machines. This tool simplifies the process of removing obsolete device entries, which can accumulate over time as devices are connected and disconnected. While users can manually delete these entries through the Windows Device Manager, this method can be tedious, especially when dealing with numerous devices.

With the Device Cleanup Tool, users can quickly view a list of non-present devices, including information such as the device name, class, and the last time it was used, based on the registry key data found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum. The tool enables users to select multiple devices for removal simultaneously, enhancing efficiency.

Additionally, the Device Cleanup Tool offers a video tutorial and a command-line version for users who prefer different methods of interaction. This flexibility makes it accessible to a wider range of users, from novices to tech-savvy individuals.

In summary, the Device Cleanup Tool is an effective utility for maintaining a tidy device management system on Windows, allowing for easier management and removal of outdated device entries. Future updates could focus on enhancing user interface design, including more detailed filtering options, or even improving integration with other system maintenance tools
