CClean versus FindJunkFiles

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hi there,

I am new to CClean. I have used several other "clean-up" apps for a number of years. I installed CClean and left the default settings in place. I ran it to get rid of the flotsam and jetsom that PCs accumulate. I got rid of a lot of stuff which was good. I then ran "FindJunkFiles", one of my older clean-up apps, and was surprised by the amount of "stuff" that it found. It found 133 additional files amounting to 82.71 mb of space. Not a lot really but...

I can't copy the list of files found, however they included such types as .TMP, .TXT, .LOG, .CHK, .GID and so on. Is there something I am not doing with CClean configuration that I should be doing?

BTW I like the registry clean-up part very much. It seems to do a great job.

Thanks.

As a followup from my last post, I ran Cleanup.exe after running CClean and FindJunkFiles. Here is part of the report from Cleanup.exe. As you can see it found another 1.9GB of stuff. Hmm........

...THE COMPLETE FILE LIST WAS HERE, BUT I DELETED IT TO PROTECT PRIVACY ETC...

CleanUp! recovered 1.97 GB of disk space from 725 files. Wow! You really needed that.
