Detox My PC Basic
A limited legacy edition focused on logs and Trash. It relied on paths, APIs and permission assumptions that no longer represent modern Windows.

The history stays.
The software starts over.
Detox My PC first appeared in the early 2010s as a simple scan, review and cleanup utility. The name and the understandable flow survive. The old implementation does not.

The broader legacy product included caches, downloads, app leftovers and other categories. It is not being ported or redistributed.

The understandable idea.
Scan before acting. Show individual findings. Let the owner choose. Explain what changed. Those are useful product ideas worth keeping.
Scan → inspect → act
Rebuilt around evidence, confidence and recovery.

The Detox metaphor
A considered action, never an automatic purge.
Old installers are gone for a reason.
They predate hardened runtime, code signing, current Windows security, current privacy controls and the modern Windows protections. Direct historical EXE URLs intentionally return Gone rather than serving or silently replacing an unsafe legacy binary.
