I now forget what I did or what was done to me, but I wondered what Windows thought about the incident so I looked in the event log.
As it happens it was a non-event of no interest to Windows, BUT CRITICAL ERRORS WERE NOW DISPLAYED.
I hated pre-XP Windows that each morning would announce how many thousands of lost clusters it had found,
but it gives me no confidence that so much disaster now just gets buried out of sight.
Back on topic
If the event logs had not been available I would not have known that my ship had sprung a leak and I was in danger of capsizing.
Because the event logs were there and I saw the problem I was able to avert disaster.
As I understand it the goal of CCleaner is to remove crap and thus freeing up disk space but it should be worth pointing out event logs are typically no bigger than 512KB, not 512MB or even 512GB.
Is 512KB of disk usage worth crying over??

Help me do what?? What particular folder??
You don't seem to understand the concept of alpha and beta testing and the helpfulness of Windows Event Viewer. Even for folk not testing software for devs, they are so useful.
Bottom line is I don't believe Event Viewer logs should be deleted by ccleaner.
I always copy over what I need.
Guess we do things slightly different, haha!
I think the option should be there, if someone needs it, just not checkmarked by default.
This way, advanced users could clean it if they wanted, while users who still use it could just leave it unchecked.
I'm thinking your primary concern must be having it checkmarked by default, but I think they would he happy to leave it unchecked like they do other options & let the user decide.

Unfortunately some users are NOT advanced but and they see every unchecked box as a bit more free space they can get for free.
They only need a little more "knowledge" and they would find Tools => System Restore and get a big boost to Free Space ! !

I am already aware of that.
I know a few more tricks that I shall resist posting here...
It would be a great idea giving necessary options to select before getting deleted

I don't understand what you mean. This is already (in many different ways) possible, including:
- Using Excludes
- Unchecking Items in thed left hand pane
- Running Analysis and looking at the results (then doing either of the two things above)
