As I am quite new to this forum, I wanted to let everyone know I've found a cure to the issue that even I encountered. I am also running a 64 bit rig, and was annoyed by this as well, thinking it was a bug, when it clearly was a setting.
Here is the fix for CCleaner not emptying the recycle bin, as it was annoying, but a really simple fix:
Follow these instruction for CCleaner to empty your recycle bin:
1. Open CCleaner
2. Click options tab
3. Click advanced tab
4. Click on the 2 box options to UNCHECK -- BOX 1= Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 24 hours
BOX 2= Only delete files in Recycle Bin older than 24 hours
After UNchecking these options, will allow for CCleaner to clean your recycle bin.
I hope this helps!
ENJOY CCleaner, as it is a WONDERFUL program, that not only works, but is still free.
