[CCleaner Hanging-up @ 38%]

Hello Everyone!  This is my first experience with CCleaner.  

 

Problem:  While the cleaner is activated and analyzing files, and its at the "Advanced | Old Windows Installation" location, it just hangs up, won't scan/analyze my computer any further.  I've stopped it three times.  Closed and reloaded.  Same thing.  

 

Perhaps I did something wrong when I asked CCleaner to locate duplicate files, which it did quite well.  I read/researched what files to delete (even though they're all duplicates) and deleted several files.  Many of them were classified as Old Windows type files.  I did not delete all duplicate files.  I left the first file path name alone, undisturbed and deleted the one(s) underneath.

 

Have I just totally screwed-up my computer?

 

To make matters worse, I deleted all old backups to free up disk space.

 

Arrgh and Help!

 

Thank you!
