I'm using CCleaner v2.25.1025 with Adobe Flash Player checked in the multimedia tab of CCleaner settings, and I have verified that CC does NOT remove local shared objects aka flash cookies.
Keep in mind that the Settings Manager that you see on the macromedia website is not an example image; it is the actual Settings Manager for your computer. You can delete all the objects by clicking "Delete All Sites" and there is a firefox add-on called 'better privacy' that will also do it but CCleaner isn't doing the job unless there is an additional setting that I'm unaware of.
There are Flash Cookies which aren't removed by CCleaner, and I think it may be because the particular locations involved are used by quite a number of sites to store Log In details, and Settings.
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\Z9N7G7KH
Bold highlighted number will differ on your computer.
and ...
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys
I have a couple of folders containing this type of info for a couple of sites I use on a regular basis in both of these locations, and any other "settings.sol" files or folders, I clean with a CCleaner "Include".
It's six of one and half a dozen of the other for me. If the Macromedia folder was cleaned, I would have to use "Excludes", and as it isn't, I use "Includes".
;this may work for flash9, I don't have it so I chose a detect file that I assume would be present for flash 9 too
[~flash 10]
LangSecRef=3023
DetectFile=%windir%\system32\Macromed\flash\flashplayer.xpt
Default=True
FileKey1=%appdata%\macromedia\flash player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys|*.*|REMOVESELF|
I guess I could've used a detectkey, but I didnt feel like trawling through regedit.
