Cleaned everything when I didn't want it to

Not sure if this is a bug or whether I did something wrong! I wanted just two items cleaned, so I unchecked everything and just selected the two items I wanted cleaned ..... but CC went ahead and cleaned everything anyway, and consequently I lost stuff that I wanted to keep :(. I now have to try to restore the backup file, but should CC have cleaned all the items that weren't ticked? I'd be grateful for any help/advice. Many thanks.

can you provide OS version, CC version, screen shots of what you mean "everything was unchecked"

are you referring to the Cleaner part or the Registry part?

did you Analyze first and clean from that list?

It would make investigation easier. :)

What were the two checked items? and what did it zap?

To run individual cleaners you can right-click them to run them without ever having to untick/disable everything else you have configured to be cleaned.
