Do you have another drive with cookies on it?
No. And I only use one account on this computer, and the persistent cookie log is clearly associated with me. Only one drive, with programs and data mingling (with an occasional link to a backup 500 gig drive).
I have searched for this log using various desktop search engines, but it still hasn't turned up. Thanks for the question.
My best, Geodesic.

Thanks for the rapid reply. However, deleting the flashplayer file did not eliminate this extended log.
As I said, I eliminated all cookies via firefox's privacy tab (deleting the forum.piriform.com meant I had to re-login).
I have listed cookies in this log of 'files deleted' that hark back to ad sites such as 'turn.com' which I never directly visited, and hence don't remember having invoked the flash player.
Instead, on repeated runs I still get:
> CLEANING COMPLETE - (0.350 secs)
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> 0 bytes removed.
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Details of files deleted
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Removed Cookie: google.com
> Removed Cookie: francetoday.com
> Removed Cookie: yahoo.com
> Removed Cookie: imdb.com
> Removed Cookie: kanoodle.com
> Removed Cookie: amazon.com
... and many, many more cookies, which becomes a distinct trail of where I have been.
Oh, and I also completely uninstalled CC v2.21.940, deleted 'Program Files/CCleaner/...' re-installed the program, and the phantom log remained. Nothing else seems out of the ordinary of this XP-Rel3 machine, either with hardware or software.
The log must be there somewhere.
Thanks again, and my best to those remembering the legacy of Woody Guthrie, geodesic.

This problem is the inverse of the previous question on avoiding the deletion of cookies.
I am using CCleaner v2.21.940 and I'm trying to delete cookies (on an XP SP3 system). I have of course have checked
Windows/cookies
applications/mozilla/cookies
applications/multimedia/adobe flash
applications/multimedia/macromedia flash mx [indeed all multimedia, utilities, windows, and applications are checked].
I have used firefox's own 'privacy' tab to delete all cookies. I have done the same with MS Internet Explorer 8 (which I don't really use).
I have used another program, track eraser pro, to also delete all cookies.
And yet the 'log' persists. It may be growing. I repeat the use of CC cleaner, and here is the puzzling output I get:
Output:
> CLEANING COMPLETE - (1.191 secs)
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> 0 bytes removed.
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Details of files deleted
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Removed Cookie: google.com
> Removed Cookie: francetoday.com
> Removed Cookie: yahoo.com
> Removed Cookie: imdb.com
... [and many, many more cookies follow].
Many of these cookies I couldn't haven't visited in over a month. This problem also existed in CCv.2.20, and perhaps before.
Under 'cccleaner, options, cookies, cookies to delete' there is a long list of cookies I could delete or keep (I have nothing in 'cookies to keep,' of course.) And yet this list persists or grows even when I have run ccleaner multiple times.
So, 1. Is there at least a way I could manually eliminate this log. 2. What is more, this may be a bug.
My best, geodesic
Can't delete cookie log in CC v2.21.940
in CCleaner

Thanks for your reply, but in fact I had:
1. already looked at those posts, and
2. have only one drive.
The flash drive I spoke of is dynamically assigned only when it is connected, and the CC v2.19 - v 2.21 have been run many times without any drive being connected, with the same result, a lasting list of sites (via the cookies) that I have visited. So, if one were to look at 'options/settings/wipe free drives' then obviously only the C:\ drive is recognized (and checked). As I have used directly eliminated the cookies via firefox and explorer themselves, and uninstalled and reinstalled CC v.19-21, it seems that CC may have created this record in a place of its choosing. I say 19-21 since, thinking that the newer versions of CC might be the culprit, I went back to install some earlier versions.
Thanks again. My best, geodesic
