Thumbnail Database Cleaner
© 2007 Igor Tolmachev, IT Samples
When you browse a folder with pictures, like My Pictures folder, you can view the files in a thumbnail format, like a bunch of small previews.
These small preview pictures are stored in a special file, called a thumbnail cache database.
Depending on the Windows version, they are thumbs.db, ehthumbs.db, and thumbcache_*.db files. Usually, these files are system and hidden.
These thumbnail databases can be read with special software and used in Digital Forensics as evidence in both civil and criminal cases.
Thumbnail Database Cleaner enables you to clean up thumbnail cache files.
You can obtain Microsoft .NET Framework here.
Just run this utility and search for thumbnail cache files, then choose desired items in the list and click the Clean button.
