I used to use Firefox as my default browser until I uninstalled it and switched to Chrome. However, the 'Applications' section of Ccleaner shows Firefox with the same boxes checked. Shouldn't it have dumped Firefox as an Application if it has been uninstalled, or would it still appear?

I've been using Ccleaner daily for years. Beginning about a week ago, after running scans with 35 passes 2 or 3 times, everything has been cleaned with the exception of this note: Internet Explorer Cookies Skipped. Why? Why after years of complete cleaning do I get this every time? Should I be concerned? Should I do anything to remedy it? Thanks. A screenshot is attached, as if you wouldn't know what it looks like already.

Regardless of how many times in succession I run Ccleaner, in the Cleaning Complete screen under Details of files deleted, there is a listing for Windows Log Files. Beginning a few days ago, my daily scans show the number of KBs increasing. It never goes away, as it once did. What can I do, besides unchecking System: Windows Log Files, to get rid of it in the Cleaning complete screen? Obviously, Ccleaner isn't doing anything with them Thanks.

Yes, I tend to agree with you. I don't notice a difference in performance between 0% and 21%. We do these things because people tell us we should. It's difficult to separate fact from opinion. I suppose if the percentage got high enough we would notice but until then it's only a matter of statistics. Thanks for your input.

I'm not sure why you would exclude files. Is it strictly to save time? I have always run the entire file list. In my experience I have found that if I run Defraggler twice in a row, at least the number of fragments if not the percentage will decrease slightly. After the second run however, I tend to get diminishing returns ultimately to the point where there is no decrease at all. That's why I ran Defraggler five times in a row, to assure the numbers would not go lower. Incidentally, I have noticed that when I have Google Earth installed my number of undefragmentable files skyrockets and when I dump it the number gradually lowers to a reasonable level if not zero. I've installed and uninstalled Google Earth on two occasions and this is what I have observed. I've only done it twice so it's not exactly scientific evidence. However, my fragmentation went from zero to over twenty percent two days after installing it on both occasions.

Ok, but I have further info. After running Defraggler five consecutive times and only getting the fragmented files down to 21%, I ran the Disk Defragmenter from 'System Tools' and got 0% as I stated originally. Then, after posting my original question I ran Defraggler again and this time got 0% fragmented files with zero fragments as well. In reference to your response, I accept that Defraggler considers more files than the Disk Defragmenter but why would Defraggler also give me 0% fragmentation after running Disk Defragmenter when before it was 21%? Wouldn't those "not defraggable" files remain untouched if they are not counted by Disk Defragmenter? Doesn't this suggest that Disk Defragmenter may be better than Defraggler at defragmenting files? After all, running Defraggler five times still gave me 21% fragmentation while after running the Disk Defragmenter from 'System Tools' once, the fragmentation went down to zero, and this is according to Defraggler, itself.

I don't know who to believe. After running Defraggler the report says that 21% of my files are fragmented. After running Disk Defragmenter, which comes with the computer under 'System Tools', the report says 0%. Who do I believe when the results are so different?
