After installing Firefox 16 today on Windows XP, I ran the latest CCleaner (version 3.23), and then backed-up Firefox data files using the "Winmerge" utility to synchronize files and directories. I was surprised by a directory that unexpectantly appeared on the comparison screen, ie "thumbnails".
Specific path is "\\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxx\thumbnails".
CCleaner had not removed the content (.png thumbnails) or the directory.
The "thumbnails" directory is adjacent to the "Cache" directory that CCleaner usually removes entirely.
Suggestion: please investigate, and determine if "thumbnails" needs be removed in the same manner as "Cache".
Thank you
MS Outlook data files - defrag/compact automatically
in CCleaner Suggestions

In Outlook, right-clicking the "Outlook" at the top of the folder tree brings up an menu offering for "Data File Properties".
Selecting that option brings up a dialog offering a button marked "Advanced".
Clicking the "Advanced" button brings up another dialog that offers a button marked "Compact Now".
Clicking the "Compact Now" button brings up a progress bar that indicates compaction.
Presumably the "Compact Now" is defragmenting the data files, because on backup the physical file size has been reduced.
What would be convenient, would be that CCleaner optionally compacts Outlook data files.
Please notice the use of the plural for files - I keep an archive file separate from the main data file.
Not sure how CCleaner would detect files in use - perhaps a configuration or directory scan.
Thanks
