CCleaner V7 is not user-friendly.

1. I’ve been using it for almost 10 years, and it’s installed on every PC I , but this v7 is both very unusable and complicated.
2. Switching to a new theme is a very good idea, but making it this unusable is inconsiderate / lacks understanding.
3. Right now, those looking for v6.39 are downloading it from unreliable sites, non-official sites. If you would at least add the old version to the official site, those who want to revert could download v6.39.
4. I definitely want to go back to v6.39, but I don’t know how to rever
5. Where is the drive wiper tool?

How to Roll Back from v7 to v6.39

We now have numerous posts from users dissapointed with the new v7 and asking if/how they can roll back to v6.39. Whilst normally I would say that you should use the latest version that works on your machine I also believe that you should have the choice to roll back from a major feature update. Particularly if/when that update is flawed. So here is how to do it using the official v6.39 installer (so that you don’t have to download a possibly dodgy* v6.## installer from a 3rd party website): …

V7 will not stay uninstalled after putting 6.39 back on. Any ideas to keep V7 off my pc?

Turn off the Automatic updating in v6.39 - Options > Updates untick both boxes.

If that still doesn’t work then try the following:
Download and install Revo Uninstaller. Free version.
Let ccleaner v7 reinstall itself, or reinstall it manually, and then uninstall it using Revo doing a scan after the uninstall and deleteing everything ‘left over’ that Revo finds.
Restart (not Shutdown) your computer, reinstall CCleaner v3.69, and turn off the automatic updating.

So it’s not just me that hates this V7. This is the first version of CCleaner that runs in the background and no way to disable in the app like before. I saw that I had to now go to services.msn to disable the auto startup. Used to have an option right inside the app. So as the OP said - it’s user UNfriendly.

Also, the constant upgrade nag screen anytime I switch between pages is annoying.

I’m rolling it back to the previous version using the instructions on this post and then turning off updates. I miss the early days when it was just a cleaner and didn’t have it’s tenticles wrapped around the insides my computer like it does now.
