<para>
Check all cleanup actions you would like to perform using the <guibutton>Select All</guibutton>
and <guibutton>Select None</guibutton> buttons or by selecting/deselecting individual
items from the two groups <guilabel>General</guilabel> and <guilabel>Web Browsing</guilabel>
</para>

<para>
If you are satisfied with your selection click the <guibutton>Clean Up</guibutton> button,
which immediately performs the cleanup actions you selected.
</para>

<note><para>
&sweeper; deletes the cached data used by &plasma; and &kde; applications from the &kde; cache folder.
To see the location of this folder enter <userinput><command>qtpaths</command>
<option>--paths GenericCacheLocation</option></userinput> in &konsole;. Cleaning up your cached data with
&sweeper; makes it only impossible to read them &eg; using a filemanager, but it is possible  
to read the raw data, which is still on the disk, using a low level disk tool.
