  1. Thanks, but I still have some questions: 1.The example I mentioned above with picture (chrome version updated), it's safe to delete but not necessary, right? 2.What's a good timing/situation to run registry cleaner? 3.If I do not need to clean registry, then what about file cleaning? I only clean what I know exactly (I am still on Windows 7 though), because I don't want to have oversized temporarily files or tons of error reports generated several years ago. Recently I have read some articles indicate that we should not use file cleaning tools such as CCleaner, they said it is very risky to clean your system files especially on Windows 10.
  2. Thanks for reply. I have been using CCleaner for years on windows 7, CCleaner never messes up my system (I do double check the registries before I delete them). I am surprised that you do not recommend using a registry cleaner regularly. I thought removing wrongly assigned or useless registries is always a good thing. I trust CCleaner, but do you mean even CCleaner has its risk of deleting important registries and cause problems? If that's true, I won't bother other tools that I am not familiar with. There is a scenario I encountered today: google chrome updated to 79.0.3945.79, the updater folder of previous version is now empty, and CCleaner indicated that there are 2 ActiveX/COM issues: 2 dll files no longer exist. I wound delete those 2 if I haven't read your warning. But I think deleting those 2 should be safe(?) So, what's the good timing to use a registry cleaner?
  3. Hello, I have been using CCleaner for years, but I found that fixing "obsolete software registries" does not always work. CCleaner usually ignores some software I had completely uninstalled (even for years). I can still find a lot of obsolete registries there: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\". For example, I tried to install 2 software and uninstalled them, run CCleaner to see what will happen with obsolete software registry. 1 of them is highlighted and I can choose to remove it, another is ignored (not being scanned). Any suggestion? Is this a bug?
