Hi again,
Yes, I did uninstall the previous version prior to installing v.2.06, but I was careful (like always) to duplicate my usual settings. In all versions I have used the Empty Recycle Bin option without incident.
I only disallow the cleaning of Memory Dumps, Computer Logs, Windows Defender(to maintain last scan history) and my Antivirus, so I have a forensic history "if" and "when" there are computer problems. I also use the Single Pass option. All other settings are default.
Why 2.06 decided to clean D:\$Recycle Bin$\, I have no idea. But, I did watch the cleaning path in the CCleaner GUI and during the cleaning, I opened the the properties of D drive and watched the size shrink from 21.6 GB down to 9.2 Gb.
My scheduler is set to perform a back-up on the last day of each month and an hour or so after installing 2.06, my computer began it's monthy task but announced that it could not find any files to back-up to and suggested that I create another complete back-up, which I did.
Strange, strange, strange!
Like I said prior, I am a longtime user of CCleaner and I am quite familiar with the various features/settings and I have always used the Empty Recycle Bin option without incident.
I simply uninstalled 2.06 and went back to 2.05 and applied the necessary settings. (Display Cleaning Details added for documented v. 2.05 bug)
If necessary, I can re-download v. 2.06 (FileHippo) and try again, but having to create another complete back-up is a time consuming pain.
Many thanx for your time, effort and wonderful utility!
Cheers
Orphan
