Thumbs Remover

Do you know what happens when you open a folder and the files inside that folder are displayed as thumbnails? The OS automatically generates thumbs.db files, hidden archives that store preview images for the files inside the folder. Over time, these thumbs.db files could pile on and really waste disk space. By using the free and appropriately named application Thumbs Remover you can quickly and easily find and remove these files.

Seeing that it’s less than 1MB in size, it’s safe to say that downloading the Thumbs Remover installer will take little time. The same can be said about completing the installation process; a setup wizard will guide you through the process and you’ll be done in a blink. It must be mentioned here that the wizard will ask you to pick between English and Italian, choose if you want a desktop shortcut, and select if you want to integrate Thumbs Remover into Windows Explorer.

There are three tabs in the upper left hand corner of the application’s interface:
Remove thumbs.db files – launch a scan, select the files you want to remove, and remove them.
Settings – choose one of the two supported languages, activate/deactivate Aero Glass effect, and more.

Using Thumbs Remover is a very simple 3-step process:
Step 1 – initiate a scan. You can select which drives or which folders will be scanned by the application.
Step 2 – a list of results will be displayed once the scan completes. Pick and choose the ones you want to remove. Or just click a button and select them all.
Step 3 – delete the selected files or delete all the files that are found.

You don’t really need thumbs.db files. Go get Thumbs Remover and remove them with the greatest of ease.
