Stick with 'Disk cleanup', which comes with Windows.

I find CCleaner excellent. I agree that you should not mess with the registry part of it (Issues) unless you really know what you are doing, but they always ask you to do a registry back up. I had to use my back up once when I tried to fix some registry issues. But in clearing recent history, temp internet files etc, CCleaner works very well.
