CCleaner does not delete the index.dat files in my Limited User accounts.
On my last scan, it failed to delete more than 2 MB of index.dat files in Cookies, History, and TIF.
Details:
I have WinXP/Home and downloaded CCleaner a week ago. On my XP system I have 4 accounts, two are Administrative, and two are Limited Users.
When I run CCleaner in a Limited User account, it finds everything, but fails to delete various index.dat files (although CCleaner does list them under Analyze as *Marked for Deletion.*).
For the record, I run CCleaner from each of the four accounts. None of the four ways of doing this is successful in deleting the index.dat files in my two Limited User accounts. I have tested this very carefully.
After running CCleaner, I close it, then Re-start my PC, then I log on as an Administrator (so that I have full access to files), I open Windows Explorer, Folder Options are selected to show ALL files (hidden and protected), and I check to see what CCleaner successfully found and deleted.
Further details: the index.dat files that are NOT successfully deleted (even though CCleaner finds them and lists them in Analyze, Marked for Deletion), are in the following folders (in Local disk--Docs and Settings--<my user name>):
--- the indx.dat in Cookies
--- the index.dat in History.IE5
--- the index.dat in TIF--Content.IE5
One more detail: CCleaner does, however, successfully delete the MSHist#### files and its index.dat.
