If you've been using your PC for a few years, you've probably encountered a cluttered PATH variable with entries from uninstalled programs or outdated entries from program updates. Path Cleaner is a simple tool designed to help you quickly filter out duplicate and non-existent path entries.
- Open/run
path-cleaner.exeor put it into PATH and runpath-cleanerin your terminal of choice. - Choose the scope (*requires admin privileges)
- User -> cleans the current users PATH variable
- System* -> cleans the global PATH variable
- Both* -> cleans both the global & the current users PATH variable
- That's it🙌
Path Cleaner removes the following items from the requested scope:
- Non-existant paths
- Duplictes
This process supports variable expansion (e.g.
%WINDIR%->C:\Windows).
- Prefer path entries with more environment variables over constants
