I'm sorry to hear you have had a bad time with Computer Janitor.

It is not possible for a computer program to reliably know what is and is not important to you. That is why the Computer Janitor does not automatically remove packages but rather asks you, the user, if the stuff it finds should be removed or not.

If you click away the little tick in front of the programs/packages you want to keep, Computer Janitor will no longer suggest them to be removed. They will be shown in the list, but with the tick removed, so they won't be removed.

(We will improve the heuristics CJ uses, but it will always be guesswork.)
