How do I get folders and files out of quarantine in CCleaner?

CCleaner for Windows
1

I downloaded CCleaner free v5.28.6005 to see if it would help my computer. When I had it analyze and clean it put a bunch of folders and files in quarantine that it was not supposed to.

1. Why did they get moved to quarantine?

- These files where in my documents. These files were not deleted files.

2.I need those files back. How do I get them out of quarantine?

- Is it as simple as moving them from the quarantine folder and back to the documents folder?

System: Windows 10

Thanks,

Steve

CCleaner does not have a quarantine folder.

Did you just do an ordinary clean or did you do a registry clean?

What type of files were they and from what program?

CCleaner is not an anti-virus or anti-malware tool, it is a cleaning tool but knows nothing of any viruses or malware that may be on a computer.

If you clicked the Run Cleaner button, you'll need to either restore your files from a backup you've made, or attempt to get the files back with recovery software such as Recuva.
