Thanks!
I registered to the forums here to add a note to the "resetting the $Recycle.Bin" solution.
First off, i was also experiencing the issue with CCleaner crashing during the "emptying the Recycle Bin" portion of the cleaning - around the 24/25% mark. I found this thread via Google, and followed the directions to resetting it on my C: drive. However, this did not solve my problem right away, as it would still crash the program during attempted cleanings.
So as an extension to the solution, i used the same instructions to reset the $Recycle.Bin folders for each of my other installed drives, in addition to my C: drive. this meant i "reset" my E: F: & G: ones, as well. this is probably common knowledge to some, but it was not to me until this thread sparked the idea and got me going in the right direction.
this fixed my problem, and am happy to be using this program again... i had deleted many GBs of data in the past few days since, so i was in desperate need of cleaning. Ihave not experienced the A: drive problem other users are having, since i do not have one installed.
Thanks Piriform, for the great product!
Hello. I like piriform, and i use Ccleaner and DeFraggler religiously. at home i am administrator to my own three computers, my wifes computer, my sons computer, my daughters computer, and my roommates computer. i also work IT at the local college. anyway. because teachers, students and my family all do horrid things to their computers, piriforms tools have helped me a whole lot in the past. i also compliment them by letting them know i keep their installers on my thumbdrive labeled toolbox, along with hijackthis.exe, spybot, AVG, junkware removal tool, Unetbootin, and a copy of Ubuntu12.4 iso.
The reason i am telling you these things is because after reading this forum, i tried v3.11 and v3.14 on my wife's computer. both of which encountered the same recycle bin error, on 3.11 i got the floppy error, and on defraggler v2.6, i also had an issue with stalling, crashing and prevention of task process shutdown.
Quit Drinking PiriForm, You're Losing Your Touch.'
For all the other poor saps stuck with no CCleaner because the website does not offer old installer downloads (bad html interface for no archive access) here is a link to an older much more stable version of both...

CCleaner 3.11 crashes when emptying recycle bin
Old versions are found at File Hippo. The links you provided are not approved download by Piriform and thus I've removed them...oh and Old Thread Closed
EDIT: ALSO Ccleaner 3.x is Hecka old. That's probably why you have such issues. smh
