Hi,
Does exist a Piriform app to completely remove CCleaner?
I mean also in the reg files and in any other part of the pc?
I just unistalled CCleaner, but I still see CCleaner in the reg files and in others part of the OS.
Thank you.

To my knowledge, Piriform does not offer a removal tool for CCleaner.
With almost all software, the uninstall process leaves behind traces.
This usually is of no concern and the PC still functions fine.
Normally it's due to lazy programmers, but other reasons include the ability to know when a program was first installed for subscription verification purposes.
Apart from manually removing leftover traces, another option is a third party removal tool, like Revo (there are others).
Also, you could install the portable version of CCleaner, then use its registry cleaner to scan for leftovers.
But, with all registry access, User Beware.
Tweaking the registry, in alomost all cases, seldom improves performance on any observable measure.
My only caveat to that would be if the registry already had errors causing system instability.
Golden PC rule: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
And welcome to the forums.

Most registry cleaners (even the overly aggressive variety) won't find leftovers for it. From my experience it has to be manually removed.
