The front page of the docs. site for CCleaner under FAQ.

Does CCleaner support Windows 7?

The latest version of CCleaner has

preliminary Windows 7 support. We'll

continue improving support as the new

version of Windows keeps developing.

Maybe this topic should be moved to CCleaner bug reporting.

First steps i reckon isd to revert to a older version and see if the problem persists.

If so then there could be a currupted file lerking in the recycle bin. If this is the case we then can look at ways in restoring the recycle bin.
