Yes parts of windows and many programs still use ie locations, so ccleaner cleaning them is recommended.

Yes, even in Windows 11 that doesn't have IE, other things (including Edge) use the old IE storage locations.

Over the years they have become a convinent place for any application to put temporary files - so even with IE gone they still benefit from a clean out.

OK, I kinda thought that was the case.......but, I don't use Edge either, and I don't use Bing, I'm a Google Chrome type guy.  Do I still need all those other programs checked?

[Internet Explorer]

I no longer use Internet Explorer (does anyone?).  Do I need to continue checking it in Custom Clean?  I'm guessing I do, because it consistently appears in the cleaning results, but why is that?  Specifically, why do the results always include a Temporary Internet Files listing for IE?  Like I say, I haven't used it in at least a decade...
