  1. The situation seems to be this: I had an original c: drive working with Windows ME. I installed a new drive that I partitioned and I have been running XP on F: drive. I simply left C: drive there as was. CCleaner worked fine at finding and removing my cookies on F: until about 6 months ago when it found lots of extra cookies but would not delete them. Those cookies, I have now found on c:windows\cookies. I simply deleted them from that folder, ran CC and,lo and behold, it could find none to delete. It would appear that a CC update in the recent past started to look at other drives but, although it finds the cookies there, it does not clean them. Is this a bug? Anyway, I am now very happy. Thank you for your assistance.
  2. FOUND THEM! Three years ago I put in a new hard drive but left the old one there. Those files were in WINDOWS/COOKIES on that drive. What's odd is that they never showed up until about 6 months ago. It's almost as if there was a change to CCleaner that started to look at all available drives but would only clean the one where it itself was installed. Is that possible? Is there a way to tell CCleaner to analyse specific drives and then to choose which to clean? There is a selector for drives to "wipe free space" but that's not relevant, I think. Or is it?
  3. That's interesting. I've never done anything other than download and install the latest version on top of the previous. Anyway, I've now followed your instructions: uninstalled and copied back the INI file on a new installation. Unfortunately, the situation hasn't changed. CCleaner still gives me a list of about 1000 in the Cookies to delete column. Do you have any more suggestions? Is there anyway to determine where these cookies are?
  4. Thanks Jamin4u, I will try that. However, I need a little help to point me to the INI file. There are 4 configuration settings files and I'm not sure which is the INI one: ccleaner, winapp; winreg and winsys. My guess, based on the dates is the first one (which contains the Cookies to be Kept but not the Cookies to Delete) Is that correct?
  5. Yes, Those are both checked, as is Custom Files & Folders as others have indicated.
  6. Hi Jamin4u, The cookies show up as in my screenprint attachment but not in the Analysis Results. I do have IE installed but don't use it. Do you mean that there is a different cookie check box for each browser? If so, where do I fund it? I have checked the cookie content of both Firefox and IE but this list of 1000 is not there.
  7. I have been trying to get a solution to deleting cookies for months now. I'm using Firefox 3.0.11 with XP SP3 and have CC2.21.940. I have about 1000 (!) items in the Cookies to Delete column that just will not go. Firefox tells me they are not there but CC finds them from somewhere. I think I have tried all the tick box options (index.dat, Flash Player etc) I've attached a screen print in case it helps. (couldn't work out how to do it other than to paste into Word) NOTE- I never had this problem until a few months ago so I'd guess it's due to an update of something. Help please.

  8. I've been having this problem for months now. With Firefox and Ccleaner I used to just clear the cookies and it was done. Now, I have what appears to be an ever increasing list of Cookies to be cleared but CCleaner doesn't clear them. It finds them but does not wipe them. Firefox does not even show them. I'm using Firefox 3.0.7 and CCleaner 2.17.853 but this started several versions ago of each. It seemed to start when there were problems of Bookmarks being wiped after one or other of these was updated over 6 months ago (can't remember which). The Bookmarks issue got sorted but this persists. Do I need to go back to a previous version of Firefox and, if so, which?
