Duplicate File finder will not delete files

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

Hi,

I have run the duplicate file finder looking for duped photos, docs, spreadsheets etc.

Every time I select files for deletion it makes like it is running and then I get an error that some files could not be deleted but it does not delete a single file.

Do I have it set up incorrectly?

I am using windows 7

Thanks

Joe

can you show some examples?

usually if a file cannot be deleted it is because it is locked (open, read-only, linked to a running process etc)

sorry it is in french. => I am french in deduction \ooo/

So, I have circle what I want to say with folder half-read-only.

Even, I change it and thus inner folder, that is not working.

But the file is not read-only. And I have no hidden file inside too.

I don't know if it is the folder make me that problem

if you just want to delete something and for whatever reason it won't then you could try removing that file/folder with the PC in Safe Mode or by using a 3rd party tool like Unlocker.

(a warning using Unlocker - read all messages during installation carefully as it tries to install an embedded toolbar)

hello, I just have try with safe mode.

I even not can remove the folder-read-only; and the file could not remove too with ccleaner.

I don't think the problem is about the folder.

time for Unlocker then...

time for Unlocker then...

hello, I don't want to use CCleaner as duplicate file finder, and go to each folder to delete files (don't need Unlocker)

I am a lot of af duplicate file, and if I should use CCleaner to found duplication, then search each file one by one, I will lost more time than if CCleaner could delete then directly.

so, I will found another way to make that.

thank you
