FileKey7=%LocalLowAppData%\ABCDEF\folderXYZ|metagameSave.json.?
will work.......
Thanks so much you two, this worked perfectly... I didn't even know you could do it this way!
I actually tried doing the "ExcludeKey1" way too, but it wasn't working which was odd. But oh well it's all good now. :)
-
I was hoping to get a little help here with a rule I'm trying to make...
I'm trying to delete these keys while keeping the other two in red.
The rule I have is:
FileKey7=%LocalLowAppData%\ABCDEF\folderXYZ|metagameSave.json.*
but that deletes the "metagameSave.json.backup" too, I don't want that, the only way I've found to exclude the backup file is to do:
FileKey7=%LocalLowAppData%\ABCDEF\folderXYZ|metagameSave.json.1;metagameSave.json.2;metagameSave.json.3;metagameSave.json.4;metagameSave.json.5;metagameSave.json.6
etc... which will delete the keys I want while leaving the "backup" one. Is there a simpler way?
Thanks for any help & tips in advance. :)

Thanks for showing your line, I just wanted to make sure my wildcards were correct.
I'm aware you can do that from within CCleaner, but CCleaner dosn't do wildcards, it'll show the complete path instead of shortened "%AppData%" for example, yours, and now mine is much cleaner, simpler and even a little more private.
-
Thanks for the answer, may I ask you what your .ini line looks like?
Exclude1=........

The only workaround is to exclude "*.sqlite-shm" and "*.sqlite-wal".
Should all .sqlite-shm" and ".sqlite-wal" files be excluded in CCleaner or just the storage-sync-v2 ones?
-
Oh, my bad. Not sure how I missed that, sorry.
-
Any reason why not to clean out the "C:\Windows\servicing\LCU" folder?
Should this be added to Winapp3.ini?
-
As I said, all relevant options are turned off, auto check for updates = off, privacy = no, CCupdate.exe = deleted, etc.
-
My firewall is still "going off" every time I start and run CCleaner, so it's still collecting your data, despite have all relevant options turned off.

That's just PR talk... Don't fall for the "it's anonymous so don't worry guys!" line.

Thanks for listening! So does this mean CCleaner will no longer phone home and ask for firewall permissions when it is run, unless we the user give it permission to send back analytics?

How am I a troll? Anyway I found out that the last good version is v5.40.6411 before the spyware, so if anyone is wondering, it's that one.
Not that I would expect any answers coming from people here who have 8,734 / 5,438 / and 515 posts, you are either payed by Piriform/Avast, or you're so emotionally invested with this software where you've developed Stockholm Syndrome where you treat any kind of negative comment towards your baby that you feel the need to downplay it, defend it, or call people trolls.
Just remember, this company see you as a number on a spreadsheet, and nothing more, no need to defend them like I insulted your family member.

Because it is now Spyware. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyware
CCleaner is trying to "secretly" collection info from your PC without you knowing, but since you use a firewall, you are catching it in the act. You'll have to block it or stay on v5.40.6411.
Some hackers/crackers have also cracked CCleaner (lol, can't people people now need to resort to pirating/crack a free program) to remove the internet part, so I guess that is an option as well.
-
That's not really a good counter argument, because others do it, it's okay to do.
And no CCleaner hasn't been doing this for years, only the "check for update" does that, but now every time you run a scan/clean it phones home. Get a firewall.

Because it is?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyware
QuoteSpyware is software that aims to gather information about a person or organization without their knowledge, that may send such information to another entity without the consumer's consent, or that asserts control over a device without the consumer's knowledge.[1]
"Spyware" is mostly classified into four types: adware, system monitors, tracking cookies, and trojans;[2] examples of other notorious types include digital rights management capabilities that "phone home", keyloggers, rootkits, and web beacons.
Spyware is mostly used for the purposes of tracking and storing Internet users' movements on the Web and serving up pop-up ads to Internet users. Whenever spyware is used for malicious purposes, its presence is typically hidden from the user and can be difficult to detect. Some spyware, such as keyloggers, may be installed by the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer intentionally in order to monitor users.

Question in title, anyone know the last version before it became Spyware?
-
Question is the topic title, when you run a scan, CCleaner now makes a connection, I'll buy a pro license if this can be stopped, otherwise I'll save my money and move on.
-
^^ Same here I'll be on v 5.40.6411 for a long time I think, I'll just keep adding to Winapp2 and get cleaning options from that. To bad I'll have to avoid that Font Cache option since it's a ticking time bomb. Anyone know what it cleans so I can make it an "exclude" rule?
-
Throwing my voice into the ring too, I want the old way back, the way it is now sucks.
-
Also stop adding "*.avast.com" to CookiesToSave each time, sleezy.
-
Guess I'll be sticking with 5.40 for now, then move on to ********* if this doesn't change in the future, if this is intentional then lol, users don't want anything phoning home in their privacy cleaners.

CCleaner64 (3988,G,0) The beta feature EseDiskFlushConsistency is enabled in ESENT due to the beta site mode settings 0x800000.
I get this in Event Viewer (Event ID 919) every time I run CCleaner, running the latest everything, CC, Win10x64, etc.

Curious what this means, also what does "RunICS=0" mean? I also have the in my .ini file, obviously related.

AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache
Yes.
AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache
No, maybe I was confused...

Wow this topic seems dead... RIP. :(
I had a question, usually you guys are pretty good at keeping up with this sort of stuff, ie. junk files being created.
Anyway this is Firefox 109 related that was released this morning. Since updating to Firefox 109.0 this morning, I am now noticing all these little files being created when closing the browser in the "Mozilla" folder under ProgramData;
Do others see these being created in 109, I'm guessing a new rule will need to be made for this if so, I'm not very good with wildcards, anyone got an idea how to make a rule for these?
