[PortableApps - how to configure CCleaner to check & clean all apps in the portableApps USB stick?]

Hey!

thanks a lot for your answer.

 

 

 

i mean you go on your u3stick --> system/apps/  <-- this is hidden

there are all apps you have on your usbdrive in separate folders.

 

 

Perhaps we speak about different things? In the PortableApps.com scheme, the folder with all the apps is (not hidden, and is):

 

T:\PortableApps

 

e.g

 

T:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable

T:\PortableApps\OperaPortable

T:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable

 

etc.

 

and most cached files are not in C:\temp or C:\windows\temp, but below those folders named above inside \Data\, e.g.

 

T:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile

 

 

 

but if nevertheless: perhaps you can use the ccleaner-include-option if you know what to clean

 

The idea (of my feature request) is actually not needing to "know what to clean" but ...

 

... offer a scanner, which scans

 

T:\PortableApps\

 

and then maps the results (a list of all installed portableApps) to the already known CCleaner knowledge about those apps.

 

So that their cleaning can be automated. Perhaps in a separate tab, like CCleaner --> Cleaner --> [Windows, Applications, PortableApps].

 

 

I think that feature request would greatly improve the scope of this -already fantastic- tool CCleaner.

 

Thanks for considering it. Happy to answer any questions.

PortableApps - how to configure CCleaner to find & check & clean all apps in the portableApps USB stick?

 

I am using PortableApps.com for most of my applications - so CCleaner will not clean most of my applications.

 

Is there an extension package / prescription / tool, to additionally point CCleaner to the PortableApps folder on the USB stick?

 

If there is none, I suggest automation of this as a feature request.

 

Thanks a lot!
