How does the command-line interface work in RJL System Cleaner?

RJL System Cleaner can be run from the command prompt, PowerShell, or batch files for automated cleaning. This is especially useful for IT administrators managing multiple computers.

Available switches:

  • /scan -- Scan only, display results (no cleaning)
  • /clean -- Scan and clean using saved settings
  • /silent -- No user interface at all (requires /clean). Output goes to the console and log file.
  • /norestore -- Skip System Restore point creation for this run
  • /log <path> -- Write the log file to a custom location
  • /category <list> -- Only clean specific categories: system, browsers, apps, privacy (comma-separated)
  • /? -- Show help text

Examples:

  • Clean everything silently: RJLSystemCleaner.exe /clean /silent
  • Clean only browsers and system files: RJLSystemCleaner.exe /clean /silent /category system,browsers
  • Clean with a custom log: RJLSystemCleaner.exe /clean /silent /log "C:\Logs\cleanup.log"

Exit codes: 0 = success, 1 = partial success (some files skipped), 2 = error, 3 = cancelled
