Question Defrag and Register Cleaner on a SSD?

[itsfuntohavefun789]

I have been told my others more knowledgeable than myself, that I should never use a Utility (ccleaner for example) on my Windows 10 PC, to defrag and/or clean the registry on my SSD PC. What says all of you?

Solid state drives do NOT need a defrag. It should not be done.

NO system needs the CCLeaner "registry cleaner". Can do far more harm than good.

never do a defrag on a ssd ,

In short, the lifetime of an SSD is based on the read/write amount of processes. Defraging an SSD drive reduces its life expectancy. Also, SSD drives are not defragmented since data is stored and accessed instantaneously instead of with a needle head over a spinning head.

For clarification, my Windows 10 recognizes my main drive as an SSD, and doesn't even offer the option to defrag. It does however offer Trim, which as far as I read, is a good thing to do.
Thoughts?

TRIM is automatic. The drive will do that in the course of new data being written to the drive.

What problem are you having with the system that would elicit that response from these "knowledgeable folks"?

As has been said you don't want to defrag a ssd.

Ccleaner/reg clean.....I've used it a few times it never found much but it did not cause a problem either.

I do use ccleaner just to tidy up a bit it finds stuff disk cleanup leaves behind.
