It's rather disconcerting that 'Obsolete downloads' contained several files from today that clearly are not obsolete.
Also, may of the 'obsolete' files appear to be dated incorrectly - several are shown as 'Yesterday' when in actual fact they were downloaded and used some time ago (example: I downloaded and installed GIMP in May yet it this program has dated it 'Yesterday')

A simple program that allows you to find out what happened to the space on your hard drive with fewer clicks than if you find the answer using a file manager. It allows you to remove some folders with one click. There is an undo function but it doesn't allow you to recover certain restricted access folders. So you can lose needed data. It labels all of the older files in the Downloads folder as obsolete and allows you to delete them with one click, a somewhat risky tool. If you choose to use the program, be careful what you click.

I just installed this and on attempting to launch the program after the installer completed it threw an error trying to find a windows 7 or above procedure in kernel32.dll which is NOT a good sign if the systems requirements above are too be believed. I also note that this a VERY young program with the intial release being in 22nd April 2019! https://www.chemtable.com/version-history.htm?prod_id=Files Inspector

The main program cannot be launched from the desktop shortcut producing the same error of it not finding a particular windows 7 or above exported procedure within kernel32.dll so it is NOT compatible with XP or Vista like it says in the information panels System Requirements.

Also the single PRO advantage claim of:

•PRO Compressing photos without the loss of their quality

The vast majority of consumer grade cameras already heavily compress photos at moment of saving them to the memory cards and usually with a lossy compression algorithm unless it's a high end model and then it may have to be configured to use a lossless compression format or uncompressed form so the idea that this almost brand new program that by the comments so far is still quite buggy is not going to be able to compress most consumer grade digital cameras photo files without loss of quality because the only way to improve compression over losslessly comressed photo files is to use a lossy compression method like JPEG or the like which discard data to simplify an images data to make it easier to compress better.
If a person has invested enough money in a digital camera to get one that stores taken photos in a lossless format then they certainly won't be skimping on storage and are most likely using the camera for a living and would not throw away the money they spent on the camera and lenses to save a few hundred gigabytes by compressing all thier valuable photos into poor mans JPEG or HEIC photos.

infi05, not being able to run this program to discover what settings there may be... there is an updater.exe file in the installation folder and one can rename that to anything else and create a new folder in that installation folder and call it by the original updaters file name "Updater.exe" the program will no longer be able to spawn the updater.exe file in the future. That MAY prevent future update checks but since I find this software too poorly documented and does not run on all the operating systems the System Requirements state I am not inclined to install it on my Windows 10 machine because I do not trust the competency of the developers to program it correctly or safely.
