It is not clear just what it is that you are wanting to do, please explain what you mean. Není jasné, co přesně chcete dělat, vysvětlete prosím, co máte na mysli.

Try Restarting the computer. Note: not a shutdown/reboot - click "Restart".

@Andrei CCleaner I belive that the question is why CCleaner Secure Delete etc. leaves these files/filenames behind and doesn't remove them as standard? Which TBH is a good question.

Simply go to Options>Updates and tick the relevant box.

This often happens with a new software version. Especially something like CCleaner which can clean 'controlled' folders. Give Windows Security CFA a day or so to catch up that there is a new version of CCleaner so the number has changed.

If you have CCleaner Free version then you can set it to launch (ie. run a clean) when you start your computer. Options>Settings>'Launch the CCleaner app...........' With CCleaner Professional version for Window (not the free version) there is a task scheduler that you can set to run CCleaner daily, weekly, or monthly and specificy days/times to run. Here's an example of the weekly settings options: I've not used CCleaner on Android for a while but there is a similar option shown on the Playstore page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.piriform.ccleaner&referrer=utm_source=piriform_android&utm_medium=playstorelink&utm_campaign=ccleaner-android

I would note that Win 7 is EOL now - so nothing is going to be changing the registy - so nothing will be found. (Unless you get Win 7 malware from somewhere)

Those are cached JavaScript files that get put there as you are browsing webpages, so that the cached js can be used to open the page slightly more quickly if/when you go back to it. https://www.zdnet.com/article/these-hidden-cache-files-are-bloating-your-google-chrome/ It should be safe make that Chrome 'Code Cache\js\' an Include in CCleaner to regularly clear it out. And an include for he same in Edge Chromium as well which I assume is a different path? Whether they should be added to CCleaner as standard is a question for the development team. (PS. I wouldn't be at all surprised if these caches are already cleared if you use the winapp2.ini).

The intention of wiping the free space is to make previously deleted files unrecoverable by standard file recovery software. Wiping just the MFT would not do that. The MFT is simply a list of where the data for a particular file is on the disk, so wiping it just wipes that list and the file data itself may still be recoverable. If you just wipe freespace without wiping the MFT then the filenames may still be recovered from the MFT but the data that was in those files can't be recovered. If you just wipe the MFT then you won't be able to recover the filenames but could still recover the file data itself. Wiping the MFT is an additional option so that as well as wiping the file data itself the list of where that data used to be, and what the file used to be called, also gets wiped. PS. Wiping the freespace has no function other that 'sanitising' a disc so that deleted files can't later be recovered from it. Unless you are selling or otherwise passing the disc/computer on to someone else wiping the free space is not needed.

It can be fast if there is nothing to find, but instantly seems a bit quick. (But if you have a SSD as your system drive it could be very quick). You could try reinstalling CCleaner? We recommend not to regularly use the Registry Cleaner with Windows 10. Windows 10 changes the registry often which can give false results. See this: https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/59952-i-get-a-registry-error-on-ccleaner-on-windows-10-i-have-scanned-5-times/?tab=comments#comment-326804 Here is Microsofts stance on using any Registry Cleaner: "Microsoft does not support the use of registry cleaners." https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2563254/microsoft-support-policy-for-the-use-of-registry-cleaning-utilities

Youtube has been making more changes recently. The ads situation will be a change that Youtube made to push advertising, it will take blockers time to catch up. Presumably your downloader is/was a browser add-on? There is no official downloader in Youtube, that's because downloading is against their terms and conditions for copyright reasons. YouTube is constantly changing its source code. Many downloader add-ons don't keep up with those changes which means they may stop working suddenly. You could try installing a different downloader add-on.

Revo Uninstaller is also good at getting rid of remnants left over by an uninstall. The paid for version (or the trial) can search for and remove remnants from things you uninstalled before you even got Revo. (With the free version you can do it by reinstalling the app and then using Revo Free to uninstall it again and remove the remnants).

I suspect that most of what you are seeing are system files and application files that do need to be duplicated for things to work properly. You can tell Duplicate Finder to ignore system files which should exclude most of what you are seeing, but it may still show duplicates of application files. The other duplicate finder is probably already set to ignore the system files which is why it's not showing any. You are best using the ADD button to specify what location to look in and what filetypes to look for. Typically that would be things like .doc, .png, .mp4, etc. files - things that you have put there yourself. So if you think you may have duplicates of a photograph for instance you would tell it to look for .jpg files (or whatever format you save your photos in). It only lets you delete one entry at once for safety, plus of course CCleaner can't know which one of a duplicate to keep - only you can decide that. If you could delete everything at once then you could really mess your computer up by deleting needed system file duplicates.

No problem. It does sound as if your disk may have an issue though. I'd advise to do a search for the Windows commands 'ChkDsk', 'DISM and 'SFC' which run in a command window to check out the disk and fix errors. They are a more advanced thing to use but very useful to know about if you are having disk issues. Andavari gives a bit more info on how to use the basic options here: https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/60460-ccleaner-does-not-empty-my-recycle-bin-even-is-checked/?tab=comments#comment-329104

Thanks, it is known. CCleaner does clear it but Windows puts it straight back, it's part of Windows 10 21H1 & 21H2 and is loaded onto your computer by Windows. Just ignore it. This is one reason why we advise against running the Registry Cleaner on Win 10 unless you have a specific registry problem - Win 10 changes the registry much more frequently than older Windows did. https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/59952-i-get-a-registry-error-on-ccleaner-on-windows-10-i-have-scanned-5-times/?tab=comments#comment-326804

TBH we don't advise using the Registry Cleaner with Windows 10 (unless you are trying to fix a specific problem). https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/59952-i-get-a-registry-error-on-ccleaner-on-windows-10-i-have-scanned-5-times/?tab=comments#comment-326804 CCleaner is now at v5.79. Is there a particular reason why you haven't updated. If I do run the reg cleaner analyse it rarely finds anything. I take that as a sign that I'm doing things right and so there is nothing anomalous to find. The odd entries it does find are usually something that changed in a Windows 10 update and should be left alone anyway. SpeechRuntime being a recent example - if you clear it from the registry then Windows will put it straight back.

It shouldn't do any harm to the HDD. Optimise should work on both SDDs and HDDs. But it is a bit different to an old style defrag. Things change. If you noticed Windows built in defragging app is now called "Defragment and optimise drives" - or similar depending on your Windows 10 version. But yes just use the 'Stop' button and wait for it to finish what it's working on and then stop doing any more PS. Disk usage will almost always be at 100% access when defragging/optimising. If you want to do something else that needs disk access then it's not a problem as the defragger will stop using 100% until it can again.

Well if Health Check respected exclusions/inclusions, etc. then it would just be Custom Clean, Startup, and Softerware Updater all launched from one button. So then it would be pretty meaningless to have it seperate. (Health Check being meaningless bloat - Now where have I heard that before?). You can hide Health Check from view, it's just a change to a few registry entries and has been discussed before on the forum. I won't repeat it here because I don't encourage people to mess about in the registry, I'll PM you. (And I believe that it has to be redone every update as well, because the update will put the reg entries back?)

Thanks, It may take a while for someone to take a look at the log. Maybe longer if there is something unusual in there that they want to check out before replying. I am in no way competent at looking at the logs myself. Best to leave it to someone who can understand them.

Yes there is a debug mode that creates a logfile. Take a look here- https://support.piriform.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048363751-Running-CCleaner-for-Windows-in-debug-mode#view-ccleaner-s-activities-in-detail-to-help-with-troubleshooting--0-1 Some of the documentation is out of date and that page is one but it's still valid for WIN 10. it's the " /debug" that matters. Understanding the log it produces take some knowledge of what the entries in the log mean, so : @Dave CCleaner could you take a look at, or ask the devs to look, any debug log provided here

OK so you have tried the corrupt bin fix, and you have tried Disk CleanUp. It's odd that we are not seeing multiple reports of a problem, just yourself - and Nikeei who didn't come back. You might expect a few problems with a new Windows version (21H1) but that does not seem to be the case here. 21H1 doesn't seem to be a problem in this regard, but I'm wondering if Microsoft have changed user account permissions in some way? I only run one account on my machine. Are you running CCleaner from an admin account? Are you running CCleaner from the account where you installed it? Did you install CCleaner on an admin accout?

Please - Run Windows Disk Cleanup. We know that it takes time - and Please once it has done the initial scan then you must click the button that says 'Clean up system files' - which can take longer. Sometimes Windows 10 does things a bit differently - and then you have to clean up the Windows System files before other applications like CCleaner can access them properly. CCleaner can clear your junk much faster than Windows Disk Cleanup itself can; but sometimes you have to use Windows built in tools so that it clears things.

Did you run Disk Cleanup? As said that can sometimes clear any blockage that is thwarting CCleaner. It's a shame that @Nikeei didn't come back so we could compare the 2 cases.

I'm not sure if when you say right-click you are meaning in the bin itself or right-clicking the option in Custom Clean? When your Run Custom Clean and it doesn't clean the bin is it cleaning other stuff? ie. Is it just the bin or is it not cleaning at all?

Even though It's a fresh build I would still do the check/fix for a possibly corrupted bin as in Hazelnuts link above. How much is in the bin? (We have seen problems in the past with very full bins with lots of GBs of junk in them). I'd try using Windows built in Disk Cleanup, it takes time but can sometimes clean up 'blockages' with the bin and then CCleaner runs as normal again. PS. I also have 21H1 and the latest CCleaner, I don't have any problem with it cleaning the bin with either Custom Clean or Health Check.
