The best software to recover deleted emails would be Outlook Express Email Recovery (.dbx), an advanced dbx repair software, and check if you can recover your deleted emails using this software.

Many have tried that product and did not get any money back when it wouldn't work.

Cool, really nice! That's something I missed all the time
I thought checkbox is used to select which items should be deleted if hitting "delete entry"....
Now everything is okay, thanks for explaining it!
Thank you!
They have been very busy at Piriform.
The documentation in the CCleaner Beginner's Guide is probably due for an update soon.
I hope this gets in there.

Hey, I can't delete some urls in internet explorer on windows vista. I tried delete the urls with Internet Explorer itself but they are still there. I also tried the latest version of CCleaner. But they are still there. If I manually go to the regedit and look for them they are deleted but when I start IE again they still are there. :-S
I don't know if it's because windows vista did some updates or if CCleaner has been changed and updated?
and it's only some url's. The rest are gone.
Hey me1,
What's with the entering 2 New topics?
Stop doing that!!!
Reboot.

Is there a way to get CCleaner to secure delete from Flock Browser?
Also,when you "clear Private data" from within a browser,where does it go?
to recycler?
If so does CCleaner get it when recycler is enabled in the custom settings?
Is there any anything left over from Sandboxie that needs to be added to the custom list?
As far as Flock is concerned maybe we can get some winapp2.ini or Include information to clean those files.
What version of Flock are you using?
Sandboxie users please take note also.

Hi normishmael,
I am not sure about other Browsers but IE just deletes the pointers to that data.If you turn that option off(windows default) then CCleaner will delete those files and also "secure delete" if you use that option.
Using Recuva you can "secure delete" any or all deleted but not yet "securely deleted" files.I now do this maybe once a month.
Most of that data gets overwritten with normal use.I don't bother with "secure delete" in CCleaner anymore.
Just a waste of time and wear and tear on my HDD.My buddy "secure deletes" everything.He just had to get a new HDD.
Different strokes for different folks!!!
Good luck,

Hello Davey,
What I can't see now in RC2 is the file that is worked on. Probably better not, to avoid a lot of discussions. After completion I have seen the Pc is closing down much quicker then before. An automatic powerdown option of the Pc after completion would be an item on my wishlist.
What I do is run CCleaner first, select the drive in Defraggler, Analyze, and hit the Defrag button. What I've done in earlier releases is defrag after analyze the drive and thereafter defrag the empty space. Running Windows Vista.
I will start RC2 now running the defrag of free space. Local time here is 10:00.
Hi,
Sounds like good news.
How often do you run a defrag of the whole drive?
500 GB in 9 hours sounds good to me.Of course the most I ever defragged was approx. 85 Gb for about 7 hr using JkDefrag.
I just don't have that kind of volume to require much defragging more than maybe once every month or two.
How do use your HD.What kind of files?
Are you using it for professional purposes?
I would bet that auto powerdown is probably high on the list of suggestions.
Good luck,

So why does this only happen after using CCleaner autostart feature?
I've never seen this before I used CCleaner.
Hi again andreasm,
Almost lost track but I found the thread again.
I think there is some confusion as to how to use the Tools > Startup list.
Just remember that each entry has a box next to it.If the box is checked then the entry is ENABLED and will start at start-up.
If the box is un-checked then the entry is DISABLED and will not start at start-up.
To completely remove an entry the entry must be "HIGHLIGTED" and then you use the "Delete entry" button at the bottom.This will completely delete that item from the list.This must be done for each item to be completely deleted.
Any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Best wishes,

Please note that the (2?) previous versions were a bit bugged, I had some problems as well where it would just delete freespace.. or something else.. I lost 7 GB HD space.
Hi Tottel,
This link and following post may help you get your 7 GB back sooner than normal.

Just a small question, please - what does the light blue colour in the drive map mean? It isn't explained in the legend, or anywhere else as far as I can see.
Hi Brian,
I am not positive but I take it to be like the mixing of white and dark blue.
Similar to the scarlet color you can see in Windows Disk Defragmenter a mix of blue and red sometimes almost purple.
I appreciate the mix versus just a few fixed colors.
Best wishes,

Hi Friends
Thank you to cardy and ccdrw04 for yr comments.
Long time ago i also registered for WW but i prefer CCleaner's interface and setup possibilities,
especialy the include & exclude-section.
I hope that the "wipe free space" option will be soon incorporated in CC.
Maybe i am demanding to much but a time-scheduler would also be welcome.
Thanks again and best regards

Hi Berny,
If you like CCleaner then also try Recuva.

Every time the same large video files are defragged over and over again after starting 1.02.077, consuming many hours to finish. To me it seems Defraggler does not recognize it has done the file already. Anyone experiencing the same?
What is the solution? 
Hello plividus,
Thanks for your information so far.
How are you using the 1.02.077 version when this occurs.
It may be the same as others have reported but it may be different.
A new version is in the works but you can go back a version until then. http://filehippo.com/download_defraggler/4165/

My family are most grateful for your product.
After spending all afternoon taking some fantastic photos, the cover to the camera card slipped off as a photo was being recorded.
Everything seemed to have disappeared.
One card reader thought the card needed to be re-formatted - wrong!
Another reader only found 6 of over 100 pictures.
Recuva normal scan found a few fragments.
Only when Recuva Deep scan was used, did anything appear; and then everything was recovered but one picture, which appeared as a corrupt temp file.
Lots of points, and a donation, for the product.
Thanks
Wow!!! That is terrific.
I didn't know you could do that.
It is no wonder Hazel is asking questions.
Thanks for the report and your support,

In my WXP installation I preferer the following display for FileManager:
Tree list in left panel
File details in left panel
except for a few cases (Control Panel, eg)
CCleaner seems to clean my preferences.
How can I disable this?
Thank you
Hi kathiste,
Pretty name.
Welcome to the forum.
The options at Cleaner > Windows tab > Advanced cleaning options can cause some undesireable things to happen.
You should turn them off as they are only needed for special Advanced user needs.
They will not improve the performance of your system except in a few situations.Most users find the results to be very upsetting.
The specific option that caused your problem is Windows Size/Location cache.It causes many things to be reset.
I would turn off all Advanced cleaning options until you learn a little more.
You can start by saving this link and using it often.
http://www.ccleanerbeginnersguide.com/ CCleaner Beginner's Guide.com
You can read the topic Cleaner information in regards to your situation.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that something with Vista itself is to blame. I just thought I'd find out here if I'm alone with this problem and what, if anything, can be done about it.If there's anything else I can help with to fix the problem, please let me know.If I can provide any extra info, please let me know.
Doug
Just wanted to thank you guys for being good members.
Contrary to some peoples beliefs "the bug fixers" do read these forums.Your information is important.
Thanks,
davey Not a bug fixer.Just another member like you. -
What a laugh.
We all make spelling mistakes but in certain circumstances you would certainly check.
In this case Humpty, they obviously wanted to communicate to all the "impaired" drivers out there.
In Andavaris case ,I would have second thoughts about using that software.
Like Dennis said
Hard to believe anyone could be that studip. daveyP.S. I enjoy all you guy's humor.Keeps me coming back for more.

Yes there certainly is debate over the existance of electron scanning tehniques for data recovery.
FWIW, I find little performance overhead between 1 pass and 3 pass dod compliant so what the heck I say
Piriform can quite easily look at free open source code for code examples, and it if were from a BSD license Piriform could implement it without restriction and not have to pass on the code like in GPL.
Cleaning of files and folders and making disk space available for re-use is the basic function of CCleaner.
This without the added requirments of space and complexity is what I would like to see continued.
The dangers and complexities and greatly increased run times are for more specialized programs such as Recuva.

HI, I have this issue on CCleaner why does CCleaner automatically delete automatics UPDAtes I mean the Updates that were installed after the Update.
is this safe?
when CCleaner deletes updates that were updated by Microsoft?
or it will be permanently deleted?
Hello lampz,
I am presuming that you are referring to the option to delete HotFix Uninstallers or possibly Windows Update Logs.
The option at Cleaner > Windows tab > Advanced cleaning list > HotFix Uninstallers will cause the deletion of the programs that were set up and provided by MS in case a HotFix did not work properly on your system.Once The HotFix has proven to be successful then the corresponding HotFix Uninstaller is no longer needed and can be removed.Once done then the update or "fix" can not removed.
Windows Update logs are only needed for a very short while and can normally be deleted at the next clean-up.
This information may not answer your specific question but is beneficial to other new users.
Provide a little more detail if this is the case.

Andavari and I have a different perspective about speed.
Like the man said, speed is relative. Each successive version of a MS O/S is bound to be slower than its predecessor. They get away with it because of the tremendous increases in CPU performance every couple of years. Dontcha just love it?
I am from the same stable, WhizCat.Bet you had a few wires and boards in your hands also.
This is a great forum to be around.Your wisdom and experience will be thoroughly appreciated.
daveyP.S. As you probably already know,older versions of CCleaner will run just fine on Win95.You can get them from http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ .

Each time I try to download the slim version of CCleaner, the connection eventually is reset by the download server. My network connection stays up, but the connection is reset.
The data transfer rate starts at 5Kb, then goes to 3Kb, 1Kb, 950bytes, ... eventually sometimes to 700 bytes ... and then quits. I once got to 73% downloaded but it still quit.
What is going on?
My dial-up: 28.8 (never had problems before)
Windows 2000 SP4
64MB Ram
This is happening on multiple OS on this same PC (win95, 98, Me 2000).
Hello,
This link helps fix many install problems for older OS. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=5739 Don't forget to Reboot(important)
Also note that Win95 is not supported by CCleaner.
Good luck,
davey -
Yes. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both old and new versions.
No, new version has not yet worked. Gave same error message.
Yes, my system is lean, clean and mean, AFIK.
Hey Whiz,
What happens if you try running from C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe .
Are your programs being installed there?
Uh! Oh! Just realized Win98SE
Try this first. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=5739
Then Reboot.Then try CCleaner.Then try re-install if necessary.

After I run CCleaner my Internet Explorer Bookmarks REVERT back to a standard alphabetical arrangement. I want my own ordering of Bookmarks to remain - but I don't see anything in the CCleaner checkboxes available to subvert whatever actions it takes that removes my specified arrangement.
Is there a solution?
Hello CS,
If it has any thing to do with CCleaner it is probably having to with using Advanced list of cleaning options on the Windows tab in the Cleaner function.Turn these off as the they are only used for special Advanced users purposes.If you are using the Include function then leave Custom files and folders on.

am now down to just over 64MB gah! lol - 8 weeks ago was 10G
Hi Stormy,
Looks like you are about to come to a screeching BSOD.
Since you cleaned up your PC,something has now started to eat up that space.
You need to find out where that space is being filled up.Then we can help you to prevent it from happening again.
First thing you need to do is stop running as many programs as possible.One of them is possibly the culprit.This does not include CCleaner.
Start by taking a manual System Restore Point and running ERUNT if you have it.Now you have some backup.If you don't have enough space then do the next step first then this step.
You need some space to work with so I suggest using Windows Disk Cleanup program > Advanced tab and deleting all but the most recent System Restore Point.Please note how much space you regain.
If you are not currently using the winapp2.ini file in your CCleaner folder use this link and down at the bottom of the first post you can download it and put it in your C:\Program Files\CCleaner folder. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=1110
Then run CCleaner.This will clean more ares than you have been cleaning.
Please note how much space you regain.
Since you are using Firefox,you might make sure that you cleaning or releasing as much space as possible there.Please note how much space you regain.
You say that you are backing things up to another drive.That is an excellent practice.Just be sure that in one of your back up jobs that you are not accidentally backing up to C drive.Please note how much space you regain.
Some back up programs such as ERUNT,when run manually will create files that must be manually deleted.These can accumulate.Please note how much space you regain.
Check Any other users and AllUsers and Default users "Documents and Settings" files.CCleaner only cleans out ares being used by the current user.Some users forget this.Please note how much space you regain.
P.S. Check Windows temp files also.Turn off option at Options > Advanced as regards Windows temp files.Turn back on later if you like.
Hope these steps help you out.Let us know how it works out.
daveyP.S. Almost forgot a very important thing.
Scan for viruses etc. If you don't have any security then use this link and install some immediately before you have no room left.

Something strange on my pc: CCleaner doesn't work anymore (clicking on icon or on the recycler); installer asks me the language and then closes automatically; when I try to connect the Piriform site the browser (both IE and Firefox) close automatically. My OS is windows XP professional / SP2.
Nod32 Antivirus and Spybot detect no error; Gmer rootkit detector shows the hidden file "xGPJLi.exe" related with a service NetQMD in the " \programs\...\Microsoft shared" directory.
Has someone experienced such a problem?
Hi ares,
It sure seems like some sort of infection.
