  1. EDIT: This was reported in the bugs section ( http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=27089 ) I don't know if this is a confirmed bug in v2.29.1111 or a design change. Because I guess in previous versions, subfolders *were* removed.

    ----------

    In v2.29.1111 in the "Include" section, I've added the following:

     

    [x] Drive or Folder

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\

    [ ] File

     

    [x] All Files

    [ ] File Types

     

    [x] Recurse Subfolders

     

    So the rule is the following:

     

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\*.*

     

    ----

     

    Let's say I create a folder under "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\" called "TEST":

     

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\TEST

     

    Then, inside this folder, "TEST", I create a file "New Text Document.txt"

     

    Now, when I run CCleaner. It will use my custom "Include" rule, and it will destroy "New Text Document.txt"

    but the folder, "TEST" will still remain.

     

    ----

     

    I was wondering if you could give the option to remove the subfolders so...

     

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\*.*

     

    would delete not only all the files (which is an option already given), but it would also delete:

     

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\UNUSEDFOLDER_1

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\UNUSEDFOLDER_2

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\UNUSEDFOLDER_3\UNUSEDFOLDER_A

     

    etc...

     

    Maybe even include an option to remove the parent folder too. In my provided example, I still want to keep the

    "\Temp\" folder but sometimes there are instances where programs, when run, create folders that I no longer want around.

     

    For example, lets say "SOMESOFTWARE_V1.exe" creates a folder and residual files:

     

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\FOOBAR1

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\FOOBAR1\readme.txt

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\FOOBAR1\settings\settings.ini

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\FOOBAR1\image_temp\image1.gif

     

    so, I create a rule:

     

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\FOOBAR1\*.*

     

    But I also want to remove the folder "FOOBAR1" after it's done cleaning all the contents of the subfolders.

     

    ----

     

    I hope my examples were somewhat clear and that you at least consider these options for future builds.
