CCleaner v5.67.7763 (64-bit) Not Cleaning All Google Chrome Cookies

If I run Custom Clean a number of times, one after another, the Advanced Report still shows:-

Google Chrome - Cookies 0KB 4 files

The log shows:-

Cleaning Complete - (5.382 secs)

Any Comments would be appreciated.

Those look like empty cookies that Chrome is recreating again as soon as you/CCleaner deletes them.

They probably have above 0KB the first time that you run CCleaner, after that they are empty until you use Chrome again.

I wouldn't worry too much about them.

See here for an explanation of why some cookies and other files always come back straight away after you have cleaned them:

Just how google is recreating those empty cookies if Chrome isn't actually running is another question.

Do you stay logged into your google account?


Any 'Live Tiles' on the start menu connected to google content? (Weather, news, etc.).


Any kind of google content pre-loading?

Hi nukecad,

Thanks for your reply and the link, which I found very interesting.

I very rarely log in to my google account and I don't think I have any kind of google content pre-loading.

The tiles on my start menu that are 'Live' are:-

Calendar


Weather


Photos


Microsoft Edge


WiFi Analyzer


Speedtest


Skype


Groove Music


Microsoft Store


OneNote for Windows 10


Microsoft News


Money


Film & TV


Facebook


Solitaire


HP Touchpoint Manager


Mail

Can I just transfer the 4 Google Chrome Cookies listed to 'Cookies to Keep' in 'Options' > 'Cookies' or will this cause any problems?

Yes you could transfer them to cookies to keep, or make them an exclude in Options>Exclude.

Either method will leave them alone and not display them when you analyze or clean with Custom Clean; but of course that means they are ignored and will not be cleaned.

Note that those options only work if you are using Custom Clean.

If you are using Health Check then it does it's own thing and doesn't follow your custom choices.

Which can be used to advantage - If you ocassionally want to clean your 'Cookies to Keep' or 'Excludes' then running Health Check will usually clear them.

Hi nukecad,

Thanks for your help and assistance, will transfer them to cookies to keep to start and see how it goes.
