averagejoe Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi, I was wondering if support for uTorrent could be added. uTorrent leaves behind copies of the torrent files you open with it in "C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Application Data\uTorrent\" in Windows XP (I don't know about Vista or 7) Cleaning them out with CCleaner instead of manually would be great. Also, I'm pretty sure the devs can find more stuff to clean in uTorrent as well. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted January 3, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2011 CCleaner already cleans BitTorrent, therefore uTorrent as well since it's in the same detection key, but it doesn't remove any .Torrent files for very obvious reasons. This is what CCleaner cleans: [bitTorrent] ID=2173 LangSecRef=3022 Detect=HKCU\Software\BitTorrent DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\BitTorrent\BitTorrent.exe Default=true FileKey1=%appdata%\BitTorrent|*.old Could be safely updated to include the uTorrent *.old files too since they're in the same detection key location of the registry.

Someone1234567 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I don't know why it is said the "it is not safe to do so", since the provided link to the explanation is gone by now, but I guess it is because μTorrent uses some of these files. FYI, there is a solution out there that "removes" only the TORRENT files that are not used by μTorrent: http://forum.utorrent.com/topic/40826-delete-unused-torrent-files-in-userprofilesapplicationdatautorrent/?do=findComment&comment=500969 It tries to work in a safe manner without affecting μTorrent, but still you have to take the risk of running an unsigned EXE downloaded from the web. I hope this helps someone. The above link will provide more info. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted February 16, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2015 It's not "safe" to do so because people would "accidentally" delete unfinished but not currently downloading torrents (say if your torrent grabber is exited when you run Ccleaner) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
