v2.8.2 is the latest which I've been using daily for months.

Like you, the first time I ran it on XP-SP2, it freed up ~500mb of
HDD space and initially that frightened the hell out of me - but the
system continues to operate perfectly. I now use it daily and it
typically deletes a bunch of Windows log files.

I have two criticisms of it:
1. it doesn't tell you what it's going to delete before doing so
2. there is no config option to decide what *not* to delete.
