That seems to work! Thanks. It will be very useful.

An update...
It appears that if the folder in marked Read Only CCleaner will not delete it. I would like the option of having it delete the folder (and contents) regardless of how it's marked (read only, hidden, system).

If they are not on the c drive (in other words, the folder you want to delete is a sub-folder):
Go to Options/Include, Select Add Folder, add the folder you want deleting. When you have added the folder to CC's list, right click on the folder name and select Manual Edit. Remove the \*.* from the end of the folder name and save. Now run the Custom Files and Folders part of CC. The folder and its contents, if there are any, will be removed (the folder is not shown on Analyse, but still goes to folder heaven).
I suggest you test this on a safe folder, as I have just done. I would be a little cagey about deleting a sub-folder in c:\Windows, so do it at your own risk.
That seems to work! Thanks. It will be very useful.

Why not just throw the whole folder in the recycle bin? >_>
There are certain folders that keep getting generated over and over again by various programs - for temporary or other useless purposes. These folders always have the same name and are always in the same location. I don't want to have to manually delete them on a daily basis. Since I run CCleaner frequently it would be much easier if CCleaner would just delete the whole folder.

Well, that's the way it does work. The only way I've found of deleting a folder is to nest it in another folder and then specify that folder, but that might be defeating the object.
Yes, that would defeat the purpose.
So, I will clarify my original suggestion: On the Options|Include screen I would like a new option to specify that the contents of a particular folder should be deleted AND the folder itself should also be deleted.

right now only from the command line... maybe the suggestion will be better if you describe that the option will be select if you wanna delete the entire folder (with its content) or just the files inside it when you add a folder to the include list...
I tried the command line /delete feature and it deletes the contents of the folder but not the folder itself so it is essentially the same as adding the folder to the include list. Is that the way /delete is supposed to work (delete the contents but not the folder itself)?

with this option you can do that...
Is it possible to do that from within the program or only from the command line?

Check the new release 2.15
I have 2.15 and I don't see anything new about being able to delete a folder and its contents. Where exactly in 2.15 is this done?

It would be very useful to be able to specify a particular folder on the Options|Include list (or some new list) and have CCleaner delete the folder plus everything in the folder.

Please consider adding the following new feature:
Under Options | Include please add the ability to delete a custom folder (and its contents).
Currently CCleaner can empty a custom folder but there does not seem to be a way to delete the folder. That would be very useful and it seems that it would not be very difficult to implement (maybe I'm wrong about the difficulty).

Hello Peter
Have a read of this
http://www.internetrotsyourbrain.com/ccleanerbeginnersguide/
The command line parameters section will be of interest to you
Thanks for the reply. I read the section on command line parameters / automatically clean all user profiles but I don't think that's exactly what I'm looking for. What I would like to do is run CCleaner MANUALLY and have it clean files from all users regardless of which user is currently loged on. I want the file cleaning to happen now, not when each user logs on. Is that what will happen?

I have CCleaner on a PC (WinXP Pro) that has multiple user accounts. When I run CCleaner it seems to clean only files & folders associated with the currently logged-on account. How can I set it to clean files/folders for all of the user accounts on the PC? Is there some setting or command line switch to do this?

Here's the current change log, I've a couple more things which may make the release later this week.
v1.24.xxx
- Added Custom file support.
What exactly is custom file support?
-
I'd like to see these enhancements to the Custom Folders feature:
1. The ability to specify that the folder itself should be deleted (in addition to the files in the folder).
2. The ability to include/exclude a particular file pattern when cleaning a folder. For example, delete just *.idx and *.dat files.
3. The ability to speficy whether to include subfolders when doing any of the above.
