After having a snooze, I came downstairs to find CC HAD cleaned off 100% the Old Windows files. 6,400 plus of them. I am now presuming those were files that were left, after the many times I had restarted CC to see why the green line wasn't showing up. I knew CC was doing something but could not understand the 30% still showing up after 48 hours of continuous working , plus no green line. Thanks to you for coming to my aid. It appears that CC was working all the time. But - hell - it sure took a long time to get rid of the Old windows junk. I am a regular user of CC - like every two days or so, so I know that CC was only having to clean up the Advanced Old Windows files. I have applied for Windows10, so it will be interesting to see how long CC takes to get rid of Win8.1. Daft as it sounds, I thought Win10 downloaded itself yesterday, because I have a new front page of many colours. So I was quite surprised to see my old Win8.1 still there when mta asked me the question. I have used CCleaner for all the years it has been in the public arena. I also have another cleaner which I am told spies on me. Needless to say, I am not keen on that idea but it is also very effective and I cannot imagine it gets much joy in spying on my puny use of the internet. heheheheh. Cheers

I have a sister who lives in Maleny, Queensland, near to Brisbane as you well know, but I live In Switzerland, so the time difference is very annoying for me when trying to contact her. Anyway, CC doesn't get stuck as such, it is going through the motions of cleaning files but it doesn't even show the percentage now. It used to show 30% which stayed at 30% for days. So, all I can say is that it is definitely going through the files one by one but I have no idea at what stage the cleaning has arrived at - if at all. I only have it on Advanced - Old windows, everything else has been cleaned in the normal way. This will be at least the 4th day of cleaning Advanced Old windows and still there is no indication of where it is at in the process. Today, I suddenly had a pop up which said that CC could clean something like 5 gigabytes, but the pop up disappeared before I could see it properly to remember exactly what it said to the end.

Internet Ex11.0.9600.1782 Win8.1 Sorry, I could have sworn Win10 was downloaded yesterday but if it was it shows me Win8.1 CCleaner V5.07526 (64 bit) and I don't know what AV stands for. Nor am sure how to open in safe mode. Thanks for your reply. Shouldn't you be sleeping now?

I have been trying to clean old windows data for several days. It appears to be doing so but the percentage does not change. It is stuck on 30% and I have spent at least 72 almost continuous hours with CCleaner activated. Do I just continue and hope that ONE DAY CCleaner finally finishes the job or is something wrong? Thank you for a helpful response. I use the free CCleaner and am fanatically about keeping my laptop clean of all unnecessary rubbish. Win8.1 recently upgraded to Win10
