All I want is a Cleaner that cleans. And why does the new version I download omit Google Chrome? This is not a 100% fool-proof cleaner - and should not be touted as the be all end all of Cleaners. Maybe the whole thing is connected with Google - who knows what goes on behind the scenes.. After all is it in the interest of Big Brother if there is Freeware out there that removes all traces?

I may have identified the problem. On my versions of CCLeaner 2.24.1010 Google Chrome does not appear. On my old version still on my Laptop 2.17.853 - *Google Chrome cache clean etc is listed. I wonder why the new version omits this?

In fact I tried the CCleaner again after surfing the net - sure enough the Files are still there. As they say if it seems to good to be true - it probably isn't. Here's an example of the Files left behind: 1:4664/REDIR File

That defeats the entire point of CCleaner. It is not doing the job it is supposed to do. This is a distinct weakness and flaw. In fact its almost as good as useless if its not going to Clean the Google Cache.

Downloaded Google Desktop. Searched Desktop and may of the websites i have visited turn up. Please try Google Desktop Search for yourself. I will conduct another test shortly and feedback to you. I had found that some 100 sites recently viewed were diarised and found via the Google tool. So no need to be a Forensics expert.

CCleaner does not remove or clean the Google Searched Files that I had thought were cleaned and deleted. Following extensive use of CCleaner over several years - I have accidentally discovered that when utilizing the Google Desktop Search Tool - I can still find many Files that I thought had been deleted.
