PC backup and cleanup: backups, clean uninstalls and disk partitioning
This guide covers two related jobs: protect your data (backup) and keep things tidy (remove clutter, clean the system, redistribute disk space). All four programs below are sold as a license key entered inside the program itself. If you instead need to recover deleted files or update drivers — those are neighbouring tasks, covered in the System utilities for Windows guide, and we don’t duplicate them here.
Ashampoo Backup Pro 16 — backups
Ashampoo Backup Pro 16 backs up files, partitions and the whole Windows system — to local disks, the network and the cloud, with AES-256 encryption, scheduling and a rescue boot disk. Per the listing this is a perpetual licence: the activation code arrives by email right after payment. The golden rule of backups is to set them up before something breaks, not after.
AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro — disk partitions
AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro manages partitions: resizes and moves them without data loss, migrates the OS to an SSD, clones disks, converts file systems. Per the listing it’s a perpetual license key, activated by email. Handy when a disk is partitioned awkwardly or you’re moving to a new SSD. (An alternative is EaseUS Partition Master from the neighbouring guide; the features are close — choose by price and interface.)
IObit Uninstaller Pro 15+ — clean uninstalls
IObit Uninstaller Pro 15+ fully removes apps along with leftover files, registry entries and related components; the Pro version cleans ad plugins from browsers, monitors installs and uninstalls in batches. The key is delivered automatically. There’s also a cheaper option valid until 18 Aug 2026 — the same features but a fixed licence end date, so check it before buying.
Ashampoo WinOptimizer 25 — cleanup and speed-up
Ashampoo WinOptimizer 25 is a Windows optimization suite with 30+ modules: system cleanup, speed-up, fixing common problems and privacy settings. Per the listing it’s a lifetime global licence for 1 PC, delivered automatically.

What to check before paying
- Licence term. Per the listings, Ashampoo (Backup, WinOptimizer) and AOMEI are perpetual/lifetime; the cheaper IObit Uninstaller has a fixed end date. Verify before paying.
- Device limit. WinOptimizer is for 1 PC per the listing; for the others, check the seller’s terms.
- Windows compatibility. All four are for Windows; check support for your version on the product page.
Bazelio is a storefront: payment and key delivery are handled by the seller on the payment platform, who is also responsible for activation and support; disputes follow the platform’s rules — see Refunds and disputes. File recovery and drivers are in the System utilities for Windows guide; all system software is in the Software section.
