  1. It's not really giving me issues as you say.  I'm just trying to learn more.  So CCleaner doesn't delete temporary files from the browser, even after closing browser?  I think you're wrong about that.  I suspect maybe ShotCut might be causing such an issue, but not my browser.  I thought someone could simply answer what it is that is cleared from memory on reboot that CCleaner is not doing itself, but I guess not. 

     

     

     

  2. I had replaced SupportAssist with Alienware Update a couple years ago.  Someone did tell me that i need to get a RAM chip replaced, which i've yet to do, but i don't think that's the issue here, maybe, idk, i've just started noticing that the C drive icon goes from blue to red (getting full) as I browse the internet.  I just tried it again (the 2 attached pics), because it had turned red again just a few minutes ago, and simply shutting down the browser was enough to get the blue back, did not even have to run CCleaner, but last time I tried this, I had to reboot...  The browser had been on for a couple days, so yeah, it was probably bogging up a bunch of memory, but shutting it down and running CCleaner was not enough to clear the red back to blue, when I rebooted, there was about another 4GB that got cleared, bringing the red back to blue.  I realize the drive will eventually get so full that it wont turn blue again no matter what, but what could've possibly happened to make me have to reboot to get it cleared right?  The "page file" crossed my mind, i once learned of that acting as RAM, but on your hard drive, but i don't think that would have to do with this, idk?  I did use other programs besides my browser, like WMP, VLC, and ShotCut, not sure if those would cause this?

  3. CCleaner does not appear to be clearing everything as it used to, or maybe I'm just now noticing that there is more to be cleared by rebooting a computer than CCleaner handles, even with all programs shut down, I am having to reboot the computer to clear memory.  What on earth is being cleared from my hard drive when i reboot the computer that CCleaner is not doing? 

    Alienware 15R4

    Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045

  4. Here's my log file.  I noticed that it's clearing a lot from Edge even though all i did was open and close it.  I also just noticed that it didn't seem to clear out Firefox, i mean, I was still logged into this website when I opened Firefox again, even though CCleaner is set to clear it.  I do have the Firefox options set so they don't clear cookies and history when closing, but i would think CCleaner should over-ride that?
