Using the LabTech tools
After you have installed the CCleaner Business Edition for LabTech plugin, log into the LabTech Control Center and you will see a new folder named "Piriform" under the scripts section.
There are 3 scripts available:
- CCleaner – Clean Files: This script can be used to run CCleaner immediately, or schedule a repeating/one-off clean at a later time. If this script detects that another version of CCleaner is already installed on the endpoint, it will be uninstalled first. Then, if necessary, CCleaner Business Edition will be installed using the license entered during the plugin setup and the Cleaner will be run with the rule settings specified below.
- CCleaner - Update: This updates CCleaner Business Edition to the latest version.
- CCleaner - Uninstall: This uninstalls CCleaner Business Edition from the endpoint.

The default rule settings for CCleaner Business Edition for LabTech are exactly the same as CCleaner Business Edition, except the Recycle Bin will not be cleaned and background updates are disabled.
