A few months ago, I opened this thread on getting CCleaner portable to point to the other portable apps on my USB drive
http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=43876&page=1
Now with the latest Portable updates from Chrome, I find CCleaner deleting my Chrome extensions after each cleaning. Things like Click & Clean, Disconnect and the Adblock Plus Chrome extensions.
And then I ran across this...
https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1yj4lb/update_ccleaner_so_it_does_not_delete_your/
Which I updated to, yet it still seems to delete my extensions somehow and had no effect.
Does anybody know how to prevent this from happening?
Thank you.

Again, that doesn't add only the urlclassifier3.sqlite and the webappstore.sqlite to the list. I have to add hundreds of other entries to the list that I don't want to. It either adds all or nothing to it.
I don't want to clean all those system files using a portable version of CCleaner. I only want to clean those two sqlite browser files that are located on my USB drive.
-
I don't really want to add winapp2 and it's hundredes of entries to a portable version of CCleaner. I just want to add those two.
Sorry for the silly questions but I'm pretty new to this. How would I use "include"?
-
At this point in time, the only thing I would want to add to the standard ccleaner.ini would be the urlclassifier3.sqlite and the webappstore.sqlite for those supercookies that don't normally get cleaned out of the temp files. How would I add just those?
And can I clean those out of Chrome as well?
-
The custom locations look alright.
If you want to clean even more in those browsers have a look at the community winapp2.ini file.
I've heard about that. I also hear it slows down CCleaner quite a bit. Any way to speed that up?
-
Well it seems to work. This is the contents of my .ini file

Does that look right?

And this will clear out browser cookies, temp files, cache files, active sessions, etc... for the Firefox and Chrome browsers when I run CCleaner portable.
Yes?
All just by pointing to each one's profile folder?
-
Ok so let me see if I understand this. I found ccleaner.ini under G:\PortableApps\CCleanerPortable and I open it as a text file? Yes?
Then I add the following paths at the top of the list?
CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|G:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile
CustomLocation2=THUNDERBIRD|G:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile
CustomLocation3=CHROME|G:\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\Data\profile
Then I save the txt file as an .ini file again? Yes?
Sorry for all the questions but I've never done this before...
-
You paste it into the ccleaner.ini file.
Where is the ccleaner.ini file at?
-
With Firefox on your drive G:, you'd need to point it to the full path where the profile folder is located, like this:
CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|G:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile
Edit:
Don't use these brackets in your path: [ ]
So where would I put this path? Under Options->Include?
And what about Thunderbird?
This whole thing isn't terribly clear to me...
-
On a side note, can you embed images (instead of using a URL link) directly into the posts from Imgur here as well?
I tried using the URL options Imgur suggested on the side of that webpage and none of them worked when clicking your forum's Image button.
-
Let's say the USB is called G:\
I have the following folder set-up shown here...
Where is ccleaner.ini located at?
And would the following be seen as...?
CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|[G:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable]
CustomLocation2=FIREFOX|[G:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable]
There are a lot of subfolders under the G:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile folder as well. Also in Thunderbird.

Hello,
I just added portable CCleaner to my PortableApps USB stick and I'd like to configure it so it will clean not just the C:\ profiles on my HD but the USB (G:\ or F:\) portable Firefox, portable Chrome and portable Thunderbird profiles as well. All the cache files, temp files, etc that you would normally clean off your HD files that would apply to the USB stick. As much as it is technically possible to do so, within the limitations of the USB profiles.
How do I set this up? Is there a special file I need to add? Or custom paths to add to Options -> Include dialog box or what?
Thanks

No, I haven't tried that method but I will, thanks.
Btw, do you know a way to back up extensions on Chrome (or Iron)? I did a search and can't seem to find anything on it.

On a side note, it's interesting that you use SRWare Iron Portable since I tried using that AND Chrome on the same portableapps drive and found they conflicted with one another when I tried to open both at the same time. I kept getting a warning message saying that another instance of Chrome (or Iron) was running in the background, even though both appear to have entirely seperate folders under the G:\PortableApps folder. Apparently it's an either/or situation when it comes to using two different variations of the same browser on PortableApps.
