the two || is where RECURSE would be isn't it?
I have allot of RECURSE includes in my ccleaner.ini, none of that have two pipe symbols side by side though: ||
Here's two examples one a Path the other a File that I have with just one pipe symbol, like all the rest I have no matter where I've configured CCleaner to clean:
Include3=FILE|C:\Program Files\Registry Mechanic\log\|scan.log|0|0|24
Include8=PATH|D:\Temp\|*.*|RECURSE|0|0|24
I mentioned the two pipe symbols in the previous post because they're often the culprit of something not working when for instance making a winapp2.ini cleaning routine - forget them or get them in the wrong place and the cleaning routine won't work - which is one reason I like to manually edit ccleaner.ini so I can see exactly what's going on.
Edit:
And something I have no ideal if it's needed or not so that CCleaner honors a time rule, make sure these are enabled/ticked and try again to see if it honors the length of time you have put in place:
Options > Advanced > tick/enable both of the 24 hour rules to see if they're the possible reason it isn't working for you OLLI.

I performed a CClenaer simple (1 pass) free space wipe
If you didn't also enable/tick the box "Wipe MFT Free Space" it may be possible - although very highly unlikely.
I think the possibility only exists if the whole file resided inside the MFT itself, otherwise your file is most likely gone forever unfortunately. None of us volunteers on here are data experts though, you're just getting our thoughts on the matter.

Hello,
here is my line:
Include2=PATH|C:\temp\guianalyser\log\|*.log||1|0|168
I wonder if your issue is having two of these after *.log: ||
Perhaps test it using this to see if that fixes it:
Include2=PATH|C:\temp\guianalyser\log\|*.log|1|0|168

There are other free tools to wipe a hard disk clean outside of Windows such as some Linux distros, and DBAN. If you use a wipe tool outside of Windows make sure that it doesn't also nuke the Recovery partition that installs Windows.

If you previously configured CCleaner's Cookies to Keep feature Yahoo and Yahoo Mail are cookies which are kept by default.
1. Open CCleaner.
2. Click: Options > Cookies
3. If you see Yahoo listed on the right side in 'Cookies to Keep', click the <- button to move it into the left side. After doing this it will allow CCleaner to delete the cookie.
-
Possibly the 24 hour rule setting.
You can disable it to see if that's the reason:
1. Open CCleaner.
2. Click: Options -> Advanced
3. Untick/disable: Only delete files in Windows temp folders older than 24 hours.
4. Run CCleaner to see if it will empty your user temp folder.

1. You may need to disable everything in Monitoring, if that's what's auto starting. When it was first introduced it could be rather difficult to disable:
It's located in: Options -> Monitoring
More information on the Monitoring settings:
https://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-settings/changing-monitoring-settings-ccleaner-free
2. There's also the Run CCleaner when the computer starts entry which may need disabled:
It's located in: Options -> Settings
If it still ignores your preferences after trying to disable both settings mentioned above you may need to reset the CCleaner settings as detailed here (warning you will lose your preferred CCleaner settings doing this such as your Cookies to Keep list, etc):
Click: Options -> Advanced -> Restore default settings
Note that the default settings may enable Monitoring, so you may have to manually disable it again to avoid it starting all the time.
If 'Restore default settings' doesn't work you may need to uninstall CCleaner, and then download and reinstall it again - such would be the case if the settings for it are somehow corrupt, etc., (warning you will lose your preferred CCleaner settings doing this such as your Cookies to Keep list, etc).

And they may not even know their devices are so vulnerable - certainly no manufacturer of such devices is claiming such on the boxes or in the user manual.
-
Those registers must not be that important because the laptop works fine.
The problem with registry cleaning (especially programs that have aggressive registry cleaners) is not knowing if deleting the wrong thing will create issues quickly or many months later.

Back when I tried out Chrome when it was the new browser I had no issues removing it. But then again I track all installations with Total Uninstall, and remove them first with Revo Uninstaller, then followed by removing the left-overs with Total Uninstall which I had track the installations to begin with.
Note that I don't do that with drivers as that's an easy way to remove far too much when the system will for instance rollback to a previous system default drive like a mouse driver, etc.

It's not your computer from what I gather when I looked at it, it's just other people who have theirs wide open to any form of attack via insecure Wi-Fi.
That's why I manually input devices via their MAC address to allow Wi-Fi usage in my household. By doing that nothing without my manual approval and permission can use the network. Doing it that way is way more secure however it can be annoying when adding a new device, so sometimes I have to decrease my security measures just so I can get the MAC address of a particular new device via my modem logs, then once I have the MAC address I can then go back into locking everything down again.
-
You need to configure which cookies to keep first, since if you don't it will delete all cookies for your preferred logins, see here:

The solution is just use the Slim installer, or manually update using the Portable ZIP archive, then nothing can possible sneak onto your system since they don't include any 3rd party Google software. Both Slim and Portable are available at:
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds
Edit:
The Portable ZIP is the obvious choice if you're going to update as soon as a new version is released because Piriform doesn't give a download link to the Slim installer for about one week when a new version is released, whereas the Portable ZIP is offered immediately.

I fixed the detect for AccurateRip: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/commit/cf3873c7388c93742c473c0b1f836da528c74424
It is wrong! All it needed was a Detect3= for that EACU key the other person posted.
The dBpowerAMP detect key needs to remain like the original cleaner had for it. It cleans AccurateRip cache for two completely different CD ripping programs; dBpowerAMP and EAC.
--------------------
Here's a correction for AccurateRip Cache including the newly added EACU reference, alphabetized:
Updated:
[AccurateRip Cache*]LangSecRef=3023
Detect1=HKCU\Software\AWSoftware\EAC
Detect2=HKCU\Software\AWSoftware\EACU
Detect3=HKCU\Software\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\AccurateRip\AccurateRipCache|dBAR*.bin
This was the original:
[AccurateRip Cache*]
LangSecRef=3023
Detect1=HKCU\Software\AWSoftware\EAC
Detect2=HKCU\Software\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\AccurateRip\AccurateRipCache|dBAR*.bin
-
The "Detect=HKLM\Software\Florian Heidenreich\Mp3tag" should not be deleted.
Exactly!
-------------
Mp3tag Portable is a true 100% portable, it doesn't create any registry settings.
-
Duh, sorry my bad read on it. Ignore this nothing to see here, carry on.
What?
I personally just modify the Google key in my registry, I won't be offered anything Google related in any installer. Not that Chrome matters since my OS is too old to install it anyways, although I wish I could get a newer version.
-
Please change:
[Mp3tag*]
LangSecRef=3024
FileKey1=%AppData%\Mp3tag|Mp3tagError.log
to
LangSecRef=3023 ( = Multimedia)
FileKey1=%AppData%\Mp3tag|Mp3tagError.log;Mp3tagSettings.zip
The backup settings ZIP archive file is there for a valid reason and that being the user intentionally clicked in the menu for Mp3tag to create it! It absolutely doesn't need to be removed blindly as it could be a complete pain in the ass to reconfigure from scratch like I have my configuration of it, and I'd be rather upset no make that pissed off if I'd lose my backup copy of the configuration.
-
Please change:
[AccurateRip Cache*]
Detect1=HKCU\Software\AWSoftware\EAC
to
Detect1=HKCU\Software\AWSoftware\EACU
There is no EACU key location for the version I use. Instead of changing it just add a Detect2 to detect it on your system so users of previous versions aren't left with a useless non-functional cleaner.

I see on the BleepingComputer thread that FileHippo is being blamed. An easy way to remove blame from them is to also download the installer from Piriform.com and then compare the MD5/SHA-1/SHA-256 hashes of the files, they should actually match.
I get a matching SHA-256 for the downloads from Piriform.com and FileHippo.com, which is:
7F6B831129CE21153E83FC2B27C4B3236927B310C1FBDAF95755CE4EAC223431
And here's the VirusTotal report, with one antivirus flagging the installer which is always ESET, due to the included Google 3rd party PUP included:
Edit:
And we have to remember the delay or lag thing, with it taking a while for the "offer" to be shown which has been proven in the past. This post by Alan_B made it a reminder.
One of the reasons I always go with portable versions of software when it's offered.

You don't really need CCleaner to have the ability to relocate temp folders since Windows has had the functionality in it for a very long time and with very little effort.
Some software will ignore the changes of remapping your temp folder elsewhere, which is why I don't bother doing it anymore.

When seeing the topic title listed on the main forum area it read as "Creep loT teddy bear leaks...".
I know it's due to the larger font size I use in the browser, but it was funny until I saw the final word "data". -
CC tells me there are 8 files and 28,184 KB removed.
Index.dat files, the size you mention seems close enough.
Also just using your computer will create files in IE's History, etc. Antivirus software also uses it, and will also create CryptnetUrlCache.
If you're on Windows 10 you can clean with CCleaner and then cache will be immediately recreated in IE due to all the web-related stuff running in Win10.

I must treat my laptop as a buisness tool and take care of it accordingly.
I'd recommend getting an external hard disk, you could use two different types of backup programs one that does disk imaging like Macrium Reflect (the freeware version is here), and another to more-or-less completely cover your backside that either ZIP's or simply mirrors important files by copying them so they're not locked inside of some proprietary backup/archive format like disk imaging would do.
Although the disk imaging would be in a proprietary format it's still very important to do since it can have your system up and running in a relatively short amount of time.

I don't think the Piriform website is the issue, it's something to do with either your system or browser configuration.
Also clicking the "Download" button on the page you visited http://www.piriform.com/products shouldn't automatically start the download, here's what it did for me (it's a multi-step process):
1. I went to http://www.piriform.com/products, and I clicked Download for the Recuva listing.
2. It then loaded this page http://www.piriform.com/recuva/download, and on the left for Recuva Free I clicked Download from Piriform.com.
3. It then loaded this page http://www.piriform.com/recuva/download/standard, and never automatically started the download however clicking the text link start the download and the Start Download button both downloaded rcsetup153.exe
Perhaps Hazelnut is onto the cause, the MIME types in your browser could be messed up. Other than that I don't know how attempting to download an .EXE executable file would result into a .WML mail file downloading instead.------------
Edit:
On a side note from looking at your screenshot you're running two adblockers in your browser; Adblock Plus and Ublock Origin. Not that they'd be the cause of your issue however you shouldn't be running two adblockers simultaneously as having two could severely impact your web surfing speed.
No install folder selection since 5.27

If you're installing over a previous version to update/upgrade perhaps that's why.
