how to clean portable apps?

Hi,

All the cleaner programs can't clean the junk (only some) created by portable apps. So if I wanna do that, how?

Please shed some light. Thanks.

Mostly just dumping the %temp% folder is enough.

Well most portable app use only one folder to store all the required files. Delete that folder and it's done. Some app like browser apps will use the TEMP folder of your Windows. Clean temporary files and it's done. Only some special apps will use specific folders but they will be displayed in options menu. Find those directory and delete them. I don't know if there are other cases or not.

Around 99% of portable apps create a folder in same directory from where you run executable file. Its highly unlikely that it even uses windows temp. folder.
Which app is you actually talking about??
