Include cache clean of Mega.nz's MegaSync Software

Mega.nz (now Mega.io), as many of you might know, is an online storage platform. I use it for backing up my files because it's encrypted and located in another territory. They include software called MegaSync that you can use to upload your files and folders to the service. I contacted Mega directly and asked them where their cached files were and here is their answer.

		<span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#1d2228;font-size:small;text-align:left;">Further to our previous email. MEGAsync writes temp files for regular downloads in the target folders, and for sync downloads in the "Rubbish/tmp" (or .debris/tmp) folder inside the sync path.</span><br style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#1d2228;font-size:small;text-align:left;" /><br style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#1d2228;font-size:small;text-align:left;" /><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#1d2228;font-size:small;text-align:left;">So MEGAsync always writes temporary files in the target drive.</span>

So, this is essentially where they store any leftover data on your computer as a cache. However, if the user decides to wipe the SDK directories, you may want to include a popup box warning that this should not be deleted and may reset the application settings. You can download the MegaSync software at https://mega.io/sync

If you guys are not interested in adding this app to the official CCleaner client, let me know, and I'll kick it over to the winapp2.ini team.

Thanks,

actually many of the in built rules started out as winapp2 entries. As you're already aware of the minds behind the community made template i'd love to see the entry start there and be tried and tested and then have the devs adopt it.

You can submit entries on the forum

https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/32310-winapp2ini-additions/

I usually just post it in their issues section on their Github account https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/issues

So, you think I should recommend they add this first?

in my opinion, yes

Okay, this has been added to winapp2's Github repository at the following URL: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/issues/814
