[Improvements for the Hotfix uninstaller delete]

I also red the kb you linked and, if I undestand it correctly, it just says that $hf_mig$ folder is used by the system to store a backup of some dlls in case another hotfix overwrite them with older versions (very rare case I think)

 

Hotfixes will never overwrite files with older versions. So the $hf_mig$ is a folder which is only to "support" the hotfix installation. If the folder is missing and a hotfix has an older DLL version, it will simply ignore that file.

[Windows Update Backups]

A large chunk of that will probably be the $hf_mig$ folder (mine is currently around 270Mb) and I have had major issues caused by deleting that a couple of times in the past, so trust CCleaner to know what it's doing in that regard (or learn the hard way from your own mistakes)

 

Normally, all $-Directories in Windows folder are temporary and can be deleted without problems. Of course, you cannot uninstall hotfixes.

 

But what about cleaning up the "<windows>\SoftwareDistribution\Download" directory?

[Cleanup of WebsiteCache]

Hi,

 

please add a feature to CCleaner to clean up the "WebsiteCache" directory located at "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\<Username>\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\Microsoft\WebsiteCache" (german path, might be different on english OS) on Win NT/XP and at "c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebSiteCache" on Vista.
