Is there any real documentation for any of the settings in CCleaner? I have read all the help files and they do not help. It would be realy helpful to know exactly what cc was going to delete with any given option.

P.S. You can download and unzip this file. It contains the technical details for the Applications , Registry entries and System areas that are checked and cleaned.. I know it is a little cryptic but it will give you a good idea.

I had not read ccleanerbeginnersguide.com, while it is better than anything else I have read but it is definitely not complete. For instance, one of the things I am not sure about is whether or not cc cleans across ALL Firefox profiles or just the default one.
EDIT: and what if there is no default profile?
whether or not cc cleans across ALL Firefox profiles or just the default one.
I am not sure if I understand the question.
My daughter and I have separate profiles that are private from one-another.
When I run CCleaner it purges the Firefox junk within my profile, i.e. my cookies and my downloaded cache etc.,
but it knows nothing about her profile, and all her cookies and downloads etc remain available for when she next logs on.
Similarly when she runs CCleaner it removes her cookies and things, but mine are left intact.
