CCleaner doesn't delete some data

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting

Hi

Thanks for wonderful program. Very comfortable and useful indeed.

Here are 2 problems I noticed:

1. I run CCleaner 1.40 (also tried older version). Then Internet Explorer 7 shows clean history. After that I run Passcape Internet Explorer Password Recovery. MISCELLANEOUS - view Internet Explorer URL history cache. A lot of erased history data are still there. URL, hit rate, access date etc.

If I delete history from Internet Explorer, it erases history completely, so Passcape Internet Explorer Password Recovery can't find anything.

2. After I cleaned Firefox 2, the program Multi Password Recovery shows all passwords to web sites, stored by Firefox 2. I thoght that that information has to be deleted by CCleaner.

Hope this will help and hope for you reply.

The password may be saved by the browser (ie. Message pops up asking to save the password), not in temporary internet files (ie. cookies).

IE7:

Tools/Internet Options/General/Delete/Delete Passwords

Firefox2.0:

Tools/Options/Security/Show Passwords/Remove All

That should remove all passwords saved by the browser.

OK I thought CCleaner can cope with deleting passwords.

But what about Internet Explorer 7 history?

IE7 history cleaning works fine for me, just tested it out:

used IE7 (visited 2 sites + had previous local history)

closed IE7

Opened CCleaner

Cleaned

Opend IE7

Checked History (clean except the just opened google page)

Installed PIEPR Demo

Checked URL History

Just google in the history, so it came up clean..

I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm running Vista and the following link looks like it could be on to the reason.

After cleaning my history still there. After disabling User Access Control the history is gone (because IE7 is now looking elsewhere?). Turn UAC back on and the history is back.

Looks like Protected Mode security of Vista is buggering everything up (but giving better security I guess).

Anyone here know if this is what's causing the problem?
