Completely and everything? Seems like at least some things can be cleared up using a tool like that.
Seems like some people got as much as a few gigs freed up as mentioned in some of the posts, that seems somewhat more than snake oil (especially since you can or at least could get a free full version as well).It's basically snake oil. At best it deletes some cache files and old database content that will eventually just be rebuilt and end up right back on the phone anyway. But for some people, seeing some data get cleaned out (even though the effect is temporary) makes them think they've truly helped the situation.
So far, these programs don't do any permanent harm, so if you absolutely feel you need to buy this software and "clean" your iPhone, then go for it. If you feel it's a waste of time and money, then don't.

What Apple needs to provide is a "clear all caches" setting.
Many of you probably have old photos stored on your phone that's taking up lots of space. Move them to iPhoto and modify the settings to sync only photos from the last three months. You can create an album if you have older photos that you need.

Not too worried about the money since they have been giving the app away for free through some promotions for some time. As for space, some might come back and some perhaps might not if it clears out some saved message attachments that aren't really accessible otherwise, for example. Usefulness might mainly depend on the user and their setup, where it might not do much for some and might do a decent amount for others.Which will come back fairly quickly. But hey, if it "works" for you, it's your money.
