CCleaner 7 erased my settings and removed the full overview — I want to go back to version 6!

I am extremely dissatisfied with the forced update to CCleaner 7.
I had been using CCleaner 6 (Pro version), fully configured to my needs.
But the automatic update replaced CCleaner 6 without my consent, and all my custom settings were wiped out.

The new design in version 7 is a complete downgrade:

  • It’s now impossible to get a full overview of all checked boxes in Custom Clean.

  • You have to expand every single menu manually, which is confusing, time-consuming, and increases the risk of mistakes.

  • The layout is wider and requires constant scrolling, so you can’t see everything at once anymore.

  • Even worse, the update deleted my default cleaning presets, which caused the loss of important data.

In short:
CCleaner 7 is unusable in its current state for anyone who manages custom cleaning settings carefully.
It’s a major functional regression and a serious breach of trust for a paid product.

I’m asking for one of the following:

  1. An official way to revert to CCleaner 6 and block any automatic installation of version 7.

  2. Or an update to CCleaner 7 that restores:

    • a complete overview of all cleaning options without expandable menus,

    • and the ability to keep or restore previous settings.

If this issue isn’t fixed, I’ll cancel my subscription.
I can’t continue using software that erases my configurations and puts my data at risk.

Thank you for providing a clear and prompt solution.
