I'm frequently getting a large pop-up asking me to try cleaning Google Drive - I don't actually use Google Drive & there seems to be no way to prevent reoccurance of the pop-up reminder. In CCleaner Pro everything in 'privacy' is unchecked. Will this intrusive reminded be removed shortly as from my point of view it should never have been there in the first place? Thanks - CClean 6.22.10977 - Win 11 Pro all up to date, F-Secure, all clean.

Would have been nice to be told of a critical bug, no problem sending me a survey when CC is run though yesterday - Faffed around for over two hours trying to track down the problem, as other programs could have been responsible, oh well?

Why it would enable system restore in the first place is a mystery - I actually spend over two hours last night trying to work out what was happening, I upgraded the PC to Pro to use Policy which CCleaner still overrode - I don't care about the life of SSD's as by the time they are worn out they will be upgraded long before that, although there are windows services that is a good idea to disable as a SSD just does not need them & will slow a PC slightly regardless of it's calibre - I just find Sys Restore almost useless, on PC's I fix I enable it for others but never find it's ever fixed anything on other PC's - However personal choice, good to see the usual apology from the developers as in none whatsoever.

Thanks! I spent two hours last night thinking it was me or I'd missed something Again thanks !

Hi: I'm perhaps unusual in not using system restore, I use frequent Macrium Reflect & have no need for System Restore for decades- The thing is CCleaner Pro makes a Restore Point when run whatever I do, even if I disable System Restore in Policy Editor/or disabling it in System it still manages to make a Restore Point - Disabling System Restore in services don't help as that stops Macrium Reflect from working. The thing is it's a recent issue as far as I can work out & CCleaner it seems didn't make Restore Points - I've searched the program & I cant find an option for CCleaner not to create a Restore Point - Is there any way to prevent it doing this please or have I missed something? I realise most users wont System Restore but I haven't used it for years & rely on images - Best wishes Paul Windows 11 Pro

Brave is my main browser which reset fingerprint after each start & at this time is unsupported - However on New Edge which I do use some of the time, the fingerprint stays the same despite the program saying it was & will be reset - In reports despite having the program on just over a week it has no data to display so I've gradually come to the conclusion it isn't doing anything? Maybe its conflicting with some other program, my AV is ESET IS - I'll give it a try again later bought it as part of my remaining CCleaner sub - *Also, I am using Windows 11 beta which may be another probable cause, though this has caused very few issues if any over the past month - Regards PwT

Interesting! Thanks for spending time researching that, I'm continuing to use Smart Cleaning on this Desk PC, my laptop that has New Edge on & my other half's Lappy that has New Edge too - I do take your points on board & again thanks !

Thanks for your assistance! Best wishes Paul

IE /New & Old Edge are removed totally & fully, leaving only Brave, as I remember default cleaning on exit isn't everything though I have it set that way, Brave - The slight issue is even with all delete on exit it does leave some dross behind depending on how long your session was/data accumulated/where Jupiter is as apposed to Saturn? Hence hence my even using CCleaner - Anyway, thanks for the input as I contribute to other forums I do understand the time & effort put in to answering my question, & as I've only recently used Smart Cleaning I felt this was the place to ask - Thanks all & much appreciated & lots made sense! Stay safe you all! Paul Cannot fault you interest being Beer or living in my favourite part of world The lakes

Hi: yes I do realise many temp & other files are regenerated immediately almost - Custom Clean has everything checked - The difference is if I exit the Browser (Brave) & do a manual clean using Heath Check, with Smart disabled then check again after just about all is gone - If I do the same with Smart Cleaner & do the identical check afterward there are several meg of browser junk & trackers left - Identical situation one done manually the other Smart? I suspect Smart Cleaning doesn't do quite the same amount as manual, it also takes half as long too - Not a big issue at all, used CCleaner since day one & yet to find anything as good. I just wondered if other members had similar results to me? Thank you ! Paul

To start with hello all: I've used CCleaner from the very beginning but on Pro I use decided to try Smart Cleaning (automatic browser cleaning) - I have everything on my browser (all nine check boxes) to clean including all cookies & set to clean on exit without notification but I see the CCleaner icon flash on exit - However if I run a health check straight after without opening my browser there are several trackers & several meg of browser junk left, if I run Heath Check or standard clean all is well. Don't seem much point at this time in enabling Smart clean? Windows 10, 20H2, Ryzen 3, 32 GIG DDR 4 Ram - No other issues - Any advise please :-)
