It's not CCleaner creating the file its Windows.
If you delete the file, Windows will just recreate it.
It does not matter if you have 'suggested sites' disabled - Windows creates the file anyway.
MS merely say that turning off 'suggested sites' means that they will not be sent the data in the file.
The file will still be created by Windows though. -
I'm having problems with removal of Internet temporary files with Disk Cleanup which I think might be something related to CCleaner.
I have traced the file causing the problem as being "SuggestedSites.dat" which is stored in C:/windows/users/%Username"/appdata/local/microsoft/windows/inetcache/low" subdirectory.
If I delete this manually, and then run CCleaner once to remove files, it does not see this file (which is to be expected as I have just deleted it).
However, disk cleanup still reports it as being there.
If i then, immediately, run CCleaner a second time then the file is found but is not deleted.
I suspect, therefore, that CCleaner is some how re-creating it from something on my laptop.
Does anyone have an answer or suggestion relating to stopping this happening.
I am running Windows 10 (latest edition) and do not ask for suggested sites to be used>

if i can't get rid of suggestedsites.dat i need to keep it as small as possible.
Currently I have only 2 GB space on my laptop and so need to increase this to a more acceptable level.
As it is, Windows update sometimes expects 3 GB of space to function.
Suggestedsites.dat is taking up 500MB of space and this is one area that I can hopefully recover.
How do i do this??
