Just installed CCleaner

Somebody installed this on my computer yesterday and it erased our information on Shockwave and we lost a ton of cars that we won on the game.

Can we some how get them back?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello wickedwitch,

Welcome to the forums. :D

I am sorry for the reason. The person who installed CCleaner had your best interests in mind I am sure. Please forgive them.

"The Wizard of Oz" is my all time favorite movie. I find it hard to believe that I am helping the wickedwitch. :P

The first thing you need to do is Run CCleaner and untick the option to clean Adobe/macromedia Flask player at Cleaner > Applications tab > Multimedia list > Adobe/Macromedia Flash player.

This will prevent CCleaner from cleaning those "Flash Cookie" files.

Once you learn more about CCleaner then you can Exclude "specific" "flash cookie" files and have the others cleaned automatically. This will protect you for now. You do not have to do anything like cleaning or analyzing right now. Just change the option and exit the program. You need to do some things advised further on.

As far as recovering the deleted files, There is no easy way to recover those files.There is a very slim chance of "recovering" those files with another Piriform program called Recuva. http://www.recuva.com/ . You must be technically savvy and I won't go into details here. You will need to start a new topic in the Recuva forum.

Since you are a new user I hope these links will help you with CCleaner.
