The option is there to run CCleaner when right clicking on the recycle bin. Clicking it does nothing now. It used to run CCleaner and empty the recycle bin. while it was cleaning it showed an animated icon in the task bar. It no longer is animated, and appears to do nothing. I first noticed it within the last couple of days. I looked at the icon in the tray and it is no longer animated as it was, but now is stuck with the message CCleaner (Cleaning…). It is actually doing nothing. I have verified the same problem exists on 2 Win 10 pro computers and a Win 7 pro computer. I know it is doing nothing since if I run it manually immediately after, it works as normal and cleans everything including emptying the recycle bin.
this is one of the known issues with v5.44 and going back to an earlier version (found on FileHippo) works for others.
Thanks. I went to FileHippo and downloaded 5.43 free and installed it over the top of my pro version and it now works fine again on all 3 machines. I will remember that for the next issue, of which there have been very few. I could not find the older version of the paid one on line. I guess they are the same as long as you have a license and install the freebie over the top of the paid one.
if the free version overwrote your Pro license, just go to Options > About and enter the key again to take it up to the Pro version again.
The nice part about this was that as long as I don't uninstall the 5.44 version first, and just install the free one, the license is maintained.
Cool, it normally is, but all depends on how/what it is installed.
Please see the latest Beta release which should fix this issue
