Files in "all users" not deleted

Hi,

I want to delete files saved by MAGIX under %allusersprofile%\documents. Created the winapp2.ini accordingly and did run Ccleaner portable (latest version).

[*Magix 8]

LangSecRef=3023

DetectFile=%allusersprofile%\Dokumente\MAGIX_Fotos_auf_CD_DVD_8

Default=True

FileKey1=%allusersprofile%\Dokumente\MAGIX_Fotos_auf_CD_DVD_8|*.*|RECURSE

In Ccleaner I see *Magix under Applications, Multimedia, when analysing I get as a result 4 GB to be deleted in the directory I indicated. From this conclude the detectfile and filekey statements are correct.

But when I run Ccleaner no files are deleted, I tried it both without and with admin rights.

It would be great if any of the experts here could help me with this problem.

Thank you,

Typically if analyze returns a result that is not cleaned, the files are in use and can't be deleted.

Hmmm, PC was newly booted, no other application than Windows XP prof and CCleaner started, definitely not Magix, the programme which created the files I want to delete.

Any other ideas out there?

ciao, Myrtle98

Yes, delete them manually.

If a manual delete fails it shows that CCleaner was doing the best it could with your access authority,

and Windows is disobeying for some reason, such as file in use,

but Windows has many other reasons for not doing what you want.

e.g. Magix could have modified access permissions to protect its territory.

If manual delete succeeds then CCleaner failed you,

but at least you have got 4 GB of extra free space you never had before !

Magix may be running a service, which would lock the files.
