Failure to exclude certain directories

tonyclayton · April 19, 2017, 12:10pm

When checking through the list of files displayed when attempting to clean, I find that several important files in the excluded folders are displayed. I am glad I checked as many of these were in the mirrors of some of my websites. In addition several .jpg files in the My Pictures folder were listed. I fail to understand why this is happening. I am running CCleaner Professional v 5.13.5460 on my Windows XP Home SP3 machine.

(Yes, I know XP is obsolete but I have a vital piece of software that will not run on later versions and for which there is no available updated version)

G'day Tony and welcome,

that does sound very alarming.

can you provide a few screenshots, say, of the Analyse list of files showing the JPG files.

and one of your EXCLUDE list.

also, any reason why you haven't gone to v5.29 of CC?

do the files listed for cleaning(that shouldn't have been) have anything unusual about them, like the location of their parent folders, or they get indirectly listed due to some INCLUDE list, or do you use winapp2.ini or some other CC enhancement?

I tried to add the two images just now, but it failed. I shall try again (failed again: "Upload Skipped (Error IO)")

v5.29 not loaded because I had not spotted that an update was available!

Nothing unusual about the files AFAIK. The web image files are in Virtual Acorn, which historically is buried in the Program file for Virtual Acorn (Virtual Acorn emulates the RISCOS used extensively in the UK education system in the past)

I have no INCLUDE list AFAIK and I am not aware of what winapp2.ini is

I have created text files which I tried to attach, but they failed.

Here they are embedded:
