on my dads computer he has ccleaner and when i open it to clear files it removed nearly 1gig of data but yet on mine its not even removing like 10mb everytime...is there a slider in the program that i can change to allow me to add how much i want to be removed??
im pretty preficient with ccleaner i just need to know where to find the settings...and if it doesnt have it maybe ill put in a request for next version
where can i find a button or slider where i can remove more data or stuff ??
TIA
There is no such slider or button. It removes whatever it finds that falls within the parameters given to it.
What you are chasing is the tick boxes on the Windows tab and the Applications tab.
You are looking for differences between your PC and his PC, but no 2 are the same.
You are trying to compare apples to oranges. It's like saying your car gets better mileage than mine. You simply can't compare 2 PC's and how CC will behave on each unless they are both used identically.
It could be as simple as he has more crap and has done less maintenance compared to your PC.
What are the CC and OS versions of each PC?
Is either PC using winapp2.ini, INCLUDE's or any other CC enhancing functionality?
What other maintenance tasks are performed on the PC's?
Since the majority of crap files come from web browsers, is there a difference there with the browsers used?, private mode?, history deleted upon exit?
Hello darrenvox - I can only see two things affecting the outcome when using CCleaner, how it is configured to clean (as explained by mta) and how often it is used. Case in point - I installed CCleaner on my brother's HP Mini netbook after he had already been using it for a little over two years. The first time it ran, it listed 2.1 gigabytes of data to be removed. Subsequent runs were much, much less, in the tens of megabytes.
