* went to file & moved it to recycle bin, turned my scan to simple [temporarily]
* ran ccleaner again
* hung up again on same file [some friggin .TXT file]
* deleted friggin .TXT file from recycle bin [as ccleaner hangs up on it]
* ran ccleaner again... NO problems
* changed scan config back, ran ccleaner again... NO problems
* tested numerous times with NO problems
CONCLUSION: some kind of corrupted .TXT file in name/local settings/temp that caused hang up & manual removal cured it... any changes will keep u posted
Next time it happens, try to uncheck "Wipe Alternate Data Streams" in the Options/Settings. Cleaner will ignore the corrupted file and will be able to finish its job.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Cleaner corrupted the file in the first place in attempt to remove it. So, as a precaution, I don't use "Wipe ADS" anymore.
A word to the developers, if I may... Would you please take a closer look at this "wipe ADS" business? Something funny's going on there, and it ain't even funny (pun was intended), otherwise, it's a great product. Love it!
