It doesn't always compact a web browser's database. I don't know what they have it configured to do, however I've noticed any compacting happens on a rare occasion.

Confirmed with what Nergal's instructions are above this post. I did just that before seeing the post and it allows CCleaner to remove cookies, etc. Although with Edge Chromium installed CCleaner takes a little bit longer to clean, I didn't time it but it's just a few seconds.

Some nefarious variety could likely be used for mining. If antivirus is not detecting anything one way to sort of know something is going on is if the browser is using too many resources in the background for no apparent reason like when only one tab is open.

If that drive uses SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) defragmenting an SMR drive can be exceptionally slow.
-
It needs to have a file system, such as NTFS which the drive would've had by default.
Of course there are other recovery tools if you search the Internet which can read and restore from an unformatted or RAW drive without a file system however those are often not freeware.

Then why make a topic for it!

Removing a registered web browser always has some caveats, and that's one of them. Even removing a 3rd party browser can end up with broken extensions like HTML if it was registered as the system default web browser. Often it can be fixed by having another browser register as the system default, but it doesn't always work.
It's the sole reason I only use the portable version of 3rd party web browsers since I don't feel like correcting broken file extensions.

Starting in 2014 I began inputting exclusions into CCleaner since it was impossible for me to figure out why it was removing the saved data of extensions in Chromium/Chrome based browsers (Comodo Dragon, SRWare Iron, etc.,) and what eventually worked was excluding the "Local Extension Settings" folder in the browser(s) profile folder. Obviously that's completely different from logins being removed, but it could potentially be a clue that perhaps input an exclusion ('Options > Exclude') of the exact folder where those settings are saved as a possible remedy and then test the results.

With that article reporting 30K infections I doubt it was a merely "nice tap on the shoulder" just to get some attention without it actually being able to do something.

One thing to try is this:
https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/40285-ccleaner-not-deleting-google-chrome-history-fix/May seem unrelated and old but can fix issues with CCleaner being unable to clean Google Chrome due to it being resident and running in the background.

Something else too is if you actually like Avast they also have a Free version, although it won't have all of the features of a paid version. Although some people refuse to use a free antivirus for various reasons.

It's interesting that so many still think MacOS is immune to malware.

The registry has stuff in it that points to seemly nothing and even settings for something that isn't even installed, some of it is for compatibility in case something is installed at a later time. But not all of it gets flagged by registry cleaners (speaking registry cleaners in general not just the one in CCleaner).
Edit:
I've found out it's also related to WinSxS folder, and that alone is like a can of worms to even mess with. -
Here's an official response posted not that long ago (i.e.; it does not work with NAS):

I strongly disagree in the case of an external hard drive that is read-only. The scan results would be the same today as yesterday and 5 years from now.
Most people will have no ideal how to mount a drive in Windows 10 as read-only, furthermore Windows just automatically mounts drives anyways such as USB disks.
One exceptionally annoying thing in modern Windows such as Windows 10 for example is it always writes System Volume Information onto a drive or device like an external HDD/SSD, USB Flash Drive, phone, etc., plugged into the computer which it will always create even if System Protection/System Restore is "completely disabled" on the drive and if the service is disabled - maybe that's a quirk or bug in Windows, I don't really know. That small amount of a 4kb folder (NTFS default size) and a few bytes in files it writes could potentially overwrite a very small portion of something critical that needs to be recovered.

I'm with Nergal and his comments about using #. It really isn't a normal folder name.

That's just trolling in my opinion. Microsoft has a clear policy on using registry cleaners in Windows 10.
By warning people on this forum to not use the registry cleaner in CCleaner it can save a user from causing a completely avoidable issue that may or may not be easy to remedy.
Using registry cleaners can and will eventually cause issues especially if a user blindly trusts the results and deletes everything presented to them in a registry cleaner's list of "invalids" which is usually the case.
Registry cleaners may not always be "a thing" as you state for the fact if Microsoft wanted to blacklist any software it wouldn't work with Windows 10 anymore (such as really old versions of CCleaner which you can't use anymore as a relevant example). Registry cleaners are a legacy dinosaur type of tool where I could see could them eventually being relegated as blacklisted if they damage enough Windows 10 installations especially if it becomes a nuisance to Microsoft with too many customer support requests.

Troubleshooting won't fix it, the issue is the AMD processor is newer than Speccy. Simply put they need to update Speccy!

I wonder why this one LITTLE thing is so blown out like it's a huge issue. It's allot of nothing really!
