Sweepy for Windows · Last updated 4 November 2026

In short: Sweepy works entirely on your PC. Your files and their contents never leave it. There's no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Sweepy only talks to the Microsoft Store, to check what you've bought.

What the app looks at

Sweepy reads information about files, never what's inside them:

• Your desktop: the names, sizes, dates and positions of its icons, so the robot can drive over them and know what to pick up.
• With Sweepy Pro, only when you ask: the folders you choose to clean (like Downloads), leftover folders of apps you've uninstalled, old temporary files and crash reports, and your biggest files.
• Fetch (search): the names, folders, sizes and dates of the files it searches: your desktop, and with Pro also Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music and the Recycle Bin. This list exists only while the Fetch window is open. It's never saved, and never sent anywhere.

Sweepy never touches app shortcuts, locked files, code projects or Windows' own folders.

What the app changes

Only what you approve. After every clean, Sweepy shows you exactly what it found, and you can keep anything. Then it moves what you approved to your Recycle Bin (so "Undo last clean" can bring it back), or sorts it into folders on your PC. While a clean is running, the files it picked up are only hidden; they're always shown again if you stop it or close Sweepy. When you fetch a file from the Recycle Bin, Sweepy puts it back where it was.

What the app keeps on your PC

Everything stays in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Sweepy on your PC:

• your settings (its name, eyes, skin, sounds, schedule and cleaning choices);
• simple counts (files eaten, space freed, number of cleans) and the list of the last clean's files, for "Undo last clean";
• a small log of what it did, to help fix problems (it never leaves your PC unless you send it to us yourself);
• its sound files.

Uninstalling Sweepy and deleting that folder removes all of it.

The internet

Sweepy doesn't send your files, your file names or any personal data anywhere. The only connection it makes is to the Microsoft Store, to check your licence and add-ons (like Sweepy Pro and skins), show their current prices, and let you buy them. Purchases are handled entirely by Microsoft, under the Microsoft Privacy Statement; we never see your payment details.

This website

No cookies, no analytics and no trackers. Our host, Vercel, keeps standard server logs (like IP addresses) for a short time for security. If you use the help form, what you write (and your email, if you give it) is emailed privately to the developer so we can answer you. It isn't stored on the website or shared with anyone.

Children

Sweepy doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
