The page you eventually found (http://www.piriform.com/docs) is where all the documentation goes and it's were people are linked to for official documentation on the forums

That usually never works from my experience being that everything would stay intact meaning the Profile would be re-used which could be what's causing the issues. Edit: I should note whenever I've started off fresh with Firefox I've made bookmark backups to an HTML file to restore from - although newer versions of FF allow for backing them up to a .json file instead of only HTML.

Better if you make your own unique topic, this one is Willy2's bug observations about Defraggler.

They probably have their own service all to themselves so all the money stays in China.

Could be various things * The size of it if that's a limitation which I don't know. Although some defraggers won't bother with single big files since it wouldn't be of any performance benefit to bother defragging them. * The freespace available on the hard disk - if there isn't enough available it wouldn't be defragged. This can also be coupled with the MFT zone ("space allocated for the MFT" which defrag tools should respect). Sometimes it's necessary to run a different defrag tool such as the one included in Windows, etc., (since some ignore things that another won't).

If it's taking that long it could also mean the SQLite database is heavily fragmented, or possibly corrupted. If it's corruption it's probably best to refrain from using "Compact Databases" and/or Vacuuming in any program or tool that offers it.

I still use it. I'm contemplating rather or not it will be the last Microsoft OS I use, as I am very tired of Windows in general.

I doubt they don't care it would leave XP users behind, they like the money they get from purchases regardless of the OS their software is installed on.

None that I can think of because Explorer.exe isn't locking the free space that would be wiped.

Fake = False Positive

WinXP (taken from TweakUI as the default location): %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning In order for it to support XP it would need to remain.

Scan logs.

It's whatever Java-based program you're using then that evidently needs to recreate the data.

Because they like to copy Chrome.

Perhaps try running the cleaners built into Internet Explorer, reboot, then try CCleaner again.

I don't know if they're in the community winapp2.ini or not, so perhaps look into it: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310

I don't have anything like the invalid screenshot, but then again I rarely install and uninstall software.

I just looked at every key I have in there and nothing was invalid on my system (which is a 5 years old XP install at this point), and all seem to be from MSI installers. Although I suppose a botched crappy uninstaller could leave junk behind.

Portable download URL is here (it should download as a ZIP archive, and it just worked fine for me): https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds

Helps to have Ask.com blockers in the HOSTS file. Some of the adware (verging on malware in some of our minds) is very easily thwarted by blocking them via the HOSTS file - then they can't download anything. And Java, uninstall it!

I would've never noticed since I don't go on there much anymore.

What login123 just posted sounds good. Given the fact that you don't have an install CD or recovery discs you'd need to go the non-destructive route.

Did this start after Microsoft Updates Tuesday on April 14th?

MFT could be a place. While some people have claimed they can recover files using Recuva, etc., after using CCleaner's Wipe Free Space I personally haven't been able to - but then again I'm on an old XP system.

Above 1-pass is more-or-less a waste of time. Although it would be interesting to have a 2-pass option that features: Random, and Zero - not that I'd ever use it though.
