I’ve been using CCleaner for many years and have appreciated the benefits of having the utility installed. It is an indispensible one to have., a mainstay in helping me maintain my systems in optimal shape.
I’m not sure if this might be the appropriate place for my inquiry but I had some questions I was hoping to find answers to and thought I’d post.
Can more specific information be provided about the kinds or types of things (i.e., files, elements, programs or parts of programs) cleaned by CCleaner in the program’s Application Tab, especially in the Applications, Internet, Multimedia, Utilities, and Windows sections.
The information provided in the ‘Applications Tab’ Section under the CCleaner Rules page of the website (link below) doesn’t really go into specifics or offer detailed information in the ‘Other applications and utilities’ section about Applications, Internet, Multimedia, Utilities, and Windows areas the way it does, for example, on the ‘Browser’ Section right above it where it explains CCleaner’s actions on some important components (i.e., Saved Form Information, Compact Databases, etc…).
I’m curious/concerned about the elements of MS Office, Adobe apps that, if selected, are being/would be cleaned by the utility, exactly, and which files, if any. The same goes for Antivirus and spyware utilities or Windows programs like WordPad. I feel as though I’m somewhat in ‘the dark’ about which components are being cleaned as not many details are provided for these programs.
