[what does thumbnails cache clean?]

 

 

 

it deletes the thumbcache_????.db files where ???? will vary depending on the thumbnail cache in question.

if you aren't seeing any to clean, maybe you either have Always show icons, never thumbnails in Windows Explorer, or you aren't doing whatever generates them.

 

OR

 

this site, https://www.raymond.cc/blog/what-you-should-know-about-thumbsdb-file/ reports sometimes CC doesn't do the job, not that I've experienced this first hand.

hi

thanks for the answer

 

i found this https://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-rules/windows-tab/windows-explorer-files
 

 

Thumbnail Cache - This option clears the Windows Explorer image thumbnail cache, which is maintained to speed up the browsing of folders containing photos and images. But it will also contain the thumbnails of images that are no longer on the system. (This rule is for Window Vista only.)

 

 

but i don't know if it's related to older version of ccleaner

 

Mta did you test it ? i mean does it delete thumbcache located here C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

 

i'm running ccleaner last version under w8.1 64 and w7 sp1 64

 

thanks a lot

this is what inside winapp2.ini related to cleaning automaticdestination folder

you can use this entry inside your winsys2.ini or you can go to winapp2.ini thread which will provide more cleaning option but with additional risk

go here http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310

please read the spoiler before using winapp2.ini

hi to all!!

 

can someone help me to create an entry in Winsys2.ini to delete the files inside

c:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\

i added this to Winsys2.ini but it doesn't delete the files

[Explorer recenti]
LangSecRef=3003
DetectFile=C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner64.exe
Default=True
filekey1=C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations|*.*

maybe  because these files have no extensions

 

and may i ask 2 questions?

 

1)

can i add in Winsys2.ini an entry to delete the files inside

c:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\

2) can ccleaner using the ini files, delete files without extensions?

i'm talking about Winsys2.ini or other ini elaborate by ccleaner

 

 

thanks

best regards
