The Windows registry is a database containing almost all your PC’s hardware and software settings. When you uninstall a program, its registry keys should be removed too, but this doesn’t always happen and might cause errors or crashes. Registry cleaner is mostly for erasing invalid entries from the registry.

Here are a few simple tips that will help you decide on the better suitable registry cleaner for Windows PC, based on their interface, features, scan times, and results.
