Cleaning Getting Held up on File CBS.Log Every Time

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hi,

Over recent months, I'd say it started about 6 months or so ago, when I 'Run Cleaner' it's getting held up on a file called CBS.log for a minute or so and also my laptop will often freeze whilst it is stuck on this file.

Even if I 'Run Cleaner' again immediately after running it, it will still get held up on this file each and every time even though it's just been cleaned! For this reason I don't think the size of the file would be the issue.

Is anyone aware of this issue/know any solutions?

For info it's CCleaner Free that I'm using (latest version) on a Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop running Windows 7 Pro

Thanks in advance for any help!

have you tried going to \windows\logs\cbs\ and manually deleting that file.

there's nothing in it of real importance.

failing that, I would add that file to the EXCLUDE list.

Be interested in knowing how big the logs are.
