[Deleting Empty Folders Bug [winapp2.ini]]

Thanks for clarify, I don't think they will implement it. From what I see, they are currently focusing on creating an All-in-One tool.
I would rather research a better removal tool rather than editing winapp2.ini for every update to fix the problems.

Have a nice day.

As far as I can remember, this behavior has always been like this. If a folder is empty (and no longer contains any files), it is always deleted by REMOVESELF. The exclude rule only protects the contents of a folder, but not the folder itself.

However, deleting an empty folder should not be a problem in most cases. But if it is, the FileKeys of the Winapp2.ini entry must be adjusted accordingly. It is therefore not really a bug, but rather an overly "aggressive" FileKey.

 

I want to prevent it from being deleted because I use a symbolic link. I use Cache Relocator + RAMDisk for Chrome, Discord Caches (Protecting SSD). CCleaner sees this folders an empty and deleting them.

We should have option to prevent deleting if REMOVESELF used in winapp2.ini file.

Also you ignoring other bug it is deleting empty folders and not showing advanced reports page. It is important when u use folders like this;

That isn't going to work with the quotes around the command:
4- Add Exclude Rule: "%APPDATA%\Discord\Code Cache\*.*"

See if these work:
4- Add Exclude Rule: %APPDATA%\Discord\Code Cache\*.*
4- Add Exclude Rule: %APPDATA%\Discord\Code Cache\|*.*||0|0|24

 

Not work! You can see, I already add this lines in ccleaner.ini

Cache folder = if EMPTY it gets deleted. And you can't see this folder deleted in Advanced Reports page. There is 2 bugs as you can see.

4- Add Exclude Rule: %APPDATA%\Discord\Cache\|*.*||0|0|24 (I misspell in first message)

[Deleting Empty Folders Bug [winapp2.ini]]

I sent a bug report email about this, but no one responded. I have two bug report.

BUG REPORT 1
------------------------------
win2app.ini file has "REMOVESELF" tags and CCleaner doesn't show deleted folders in advanced report page.
"The REMOVESELF flag will do the same as RECURSE, but also remove any empty directories."

BUG REPORT 2
------------------------------
1- Browse this folder: %APPDATA%\Discord\Cache
2- Delete inside, make this folder empty (%APPDATA%\Discord\Cache)
3- Open CCleaner and use win2app.ini
4- Add Exclude Rule: "%APPDATA%\Discord\Code Cache\*.*"
5- Use this -> Clean Discord*
6- You will see "%APPDATA%\Discord\Cache" folder not available

The rule does not prevent the folder from being deleted.

Questo problema si verifica solo in un browser web? In tal caso, le seguenti regole di pulizia potrebbero essere problematiche:

[Cookie "Browser" *]
[Dati di accesso "Browser" *]

Purtroppo al momento non ho più idee.

This problem occurs with

 Mail and Calendar and office 2019

After starting or restarting the PC and after using ccleaner + winapp2.ini

Sfortunatamente, non scrivi che tipo di problemi hai con i conti. Se devi accedere ogni volta, deseleziona le seguenti regole di pulizia:

Windows > Esplora risorse > [Password di rete]
Applicazioni > Windows > [Credenziali salvate di Windows Credential Manager *]

I have to correct the accounts by logging in again.

I have never had this problem before.

This rule is already unchecked

I am also having problems with my mail and Office accounts.
But I can't figure out what is deleting

I still have to go to my command-line and type winver to get it?

Hello

Please remove from

[Internet Explorer *]

the line:

RegKey4=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl

It contains some settings that can be useful and are used by some of us, either through group policy or otherwise.

The way to clean something is not to wipe all the settings.

These settings in particular are used (queried) not only by IE, but also by many programs that access the Internet (or try to or are badly written to try to). You can check with Process Monitor, nearly every program uses them. For Windows 7 I am sure that many programs use them, and I see the queries also on Win10, don't know if they are used to the same extent, but they are used.

I remove the line manually for nearly a year since it was introduced, enough is enough.
