Windows Self Cleaning Library

This library is a single include header to clear recent execution traces

Supported traces

• UserAssist
• RecentFiles
• RunMRU
• Automatic/CustomDestinations
• RecentDocs
• Prefetch
• USNJournal (Just full deletion, not arbitrary files)
• Amcache
• System BAM/DAM
• MuiCache
• Explorer FeatureUsage
• Compatibility Assistant (registry and PCA launch dictionaries)
• Shellbags (matching BagMRU branch only)
• NVIDIA recent programs (nvAppTimestamps)
• Shimcache (Windows 10/11 10ts entries)

TODO

• SRUM contains exeuction traces and network traces of the app

SRUM remains pending because its live SRUDB.dat is a service-owned ESE database. Deleting the database or stopping diagnostics and editing it without a transaction-safe, version-independent schema would remove unrelated system history and can leave the database dirty.

The new cleaners are selective: unknown binary formats fail without writing, and unrelated registry values, NVIDIA records and Shimcache entries are kept.
