What are dclean.exe Error Messages?


dclean.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Disk Cleaner errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when dclean.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Disk Cleaner is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Disk Cleaner.

In most cases, dclean.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these dclean.exe error messages mean that Disk Cleaner was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Disk Cleaner will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common dclean.exe errors include:

  • dclean.exe - Bad Image.
  • dclean.exe Application Error.
  • dclean.exe could not be found.
  • dclean.exe could not be installed.
  • dclean.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • dclean.exe could not be started.
  • dclean.exe failed to initialize properly.
  • dclean.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
  • dclean.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
  • dclean.exe is not running.
  • Cannot find dclean.exe.
  • Error starting program: dclean.exe.
  • Faulting Application Path: dclean.exe.
  • The file dclean.exe is missing or corrupt.
  • Windows failed to start - dclean.exe.
System Error


The program can’t start because dclean.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the dclean.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting dclean.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Disk Cleaner. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Robert Moerland, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of dclean.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
