[Provide option for clearing Temporary ASP.NET Files]

 

What he's referring to is this in CCleaner:

Options > Include > Add

Aha. I should have thought of that...

I knew this existed, just I thought it might be better to have it built into CCleaner.

 

 

You're more likely to get these cleaners added into CCleaner via the community winapp2.ini file ages before CCleaner ever officially adds them in.

I now see that winapp.ini already has these folders included:

[ASP.NET*]
LangSecRef=3025
Detect=HKCU\Software\MicroSoft\ASP.NET
Default=False
FileKey1=%WinDir%\Microsoft.net\Framework\*\Temporary ASP.NET Files|*.*|RECURSE
FileKey2=%WinDir%\Microsoft.net\Framework64\*\Temporary ASP.NET Files|*.*|RECURSE

[IISExpress Logs*]
LangSecRef=3022
DetectFile=%Documents%\IISExpress
Default=False
FileKey1=%Documents%\IISExpress\Logs|*.*
FileKey2=%Documents%\IISExpress\TraceLogFiles|*.*|RECURSE 

That's interesting. I will experiment a little bit with this add-on...

 

Thanks!

What do you mean exactly?

I did not understand.

You mean this should be a feature for the paid version of CCleaner and not for the free?

 

EDIT: Oh... I think I got it:

If you mean with an optional checkbox (like in the "IIS log files" option that CCleaner has), then yes.

That's what I meant.

Well, I think the only way to get those folders and content inside them is to install and use IIS (which is shipped with Windows, but is not installed by default - you can install it from "turn on and off Windows features" program).

 

I see that there is already an option for cleaning IIS log files in CCleaner, so this may make much more sense to clean, since those folders can gather lots of stuff (e.g. ~500MB) depending on the sites you host (e.g. for development purposes) and, from my experience, IIS never bothers to clean them up.

I would appreciate an option for clearing the Temporary ASP.NET Files located at:

 

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files

...etc.

Generally:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework*\v*\Temporary ASP.NET Files

It stores A LOT of data there when you are using IIS...

 

Also, in the user's documents folder, IIS Express leaves an "IIS Express" folder that gets filled with MUCH stuff.

An option for that might be nice too.

[uTorrent support]

I don't know why it is said the "it is not safe to do so", since the provided link to the explanation is gone by now, but I guess it is because μTorrent uses some of these files.

FYI, there is a solution out there that "removes" only the TORRENT files that are not used by μTorrent:

It tries to work in a safe manner without affecting μTorrent, but still you have to take the risk of running an unsigned EXE downloaded from the web.

I hope this helps someone. The above link will provide more info.

 

Cheers!
