I'm running the trial version of CCleaner Pro 5.51. When I close the browser, I get a displayed message that CCleaner has cleaned the browser. What exactly is CCleaner doing when cleaning the browser?
I have done multiple reboots, all to no avail.
I did follow your direction on the Include option and that worked.
The C:\Windows\Temp folder is still in existence although there are no files in that pathway. The temp files are going to the D drive. CCleaner just isn't picking them up unless I use the Include option as described above.
OS = Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit
CCleaner = version 5.41
I even tried upgrading CCleaner to version 5.44 and that didn't make any difference.
I also tried doing an uninstall and reinstall of CCleaner and that didn't help.
C:\Windows\Temp does not have any files, D:\Windows\Temp does have files, both observed through Windows Explorer.
In CCleaner, System Temporary Files for Windows does not show anything for D:\Windows\Temp, only showing files for D:\UserLoginName\AppData\Local\Temp.
I changed the TEMP and TMP variables by editing Environment Variables. The system temporary files for Windows are going to the D drive. I can see that through Windows Explorer. But CCleaner is not detecting them.
I changed the location of the TEMP folder in C:\Windows to D:\Windows. Although the drive designations are different, they are both on the same physical device. When the pathway for system temporary files was defined as C:\Windows\Temp, I could always see the files in the CCleaner analysis. Since I changed the pathway to D:\Windows\Temp, system temporary files for Windows do not appear at all. The only temp files that I see are under my user login. Why does CCleaner not detect system temporary files for Windows in the D drive?
