[CCleaner v2.02.527]

Mr. G,

 

First, as bmilojohn said, thank you for all you do - CCleaner is a great program and we all appreciate your considerable efforts.

 

I have some clues and a possible workaround for the CCleaner keeps on running problem - they work on my system at least.

In CCleaner, Unchecking "empty Recycle Bin" stops the endless loop and lets CCleaner work normally, except of course that it leaves the contents of the recycle bin - these may then be deleted another way.

Here's another workaround that seems to allow the proper deletion of files in my recycle bin

On my system I have Norton systemworks 2005 and the current version of Eraser installed. Norton systemworks sets up a protected recycle bin.

I think CCleaner may be getting into an endless loop with that protected recycle bin.

 

Here's a way out that seems to work for me:

Right click the recycle bin, then click Properties, Norton Protection, Exclusions. In the top window add the line:

 

-*.zzz

 

click "insert" and then ok.

 

Close everything, and reboot.

 

This seems to work on my system....

 

Hi I have tried that as I have Norton Systemworks 2006 plus Norton Internet security 2008 installed but only unchecking the recycle bin works inserting -*.zzz does not work for me.

 

Hope this helps to track down the problem.

[CCleaner v2.02.527]

I have the same problem and yes they are listed on the right but how do you download an older version?

 

I have put the only old version I had saved back on which is 1.40.520 and it work's ok so there must be a bug in the latest version.

 

Any other people with this problem? My OS is XP SP2

[Bug reporting]

I have installed the latest version 2.02.525 and it now will not secure delete on any of the secure file deletion settings the bar just keeps moving with no end even after 30 minutes.

 

It works fine on the normal file deletion and all other items work ok.

 

Is there anyway of reinstalling the previous version which did work? As I didn't keep a copy.
