Hello everyone! I apologize if this should be in the bug reporting section instead of here.
System: Windows 7 x64 Home Premium, fully patched
AMD Athlon II X2 processor
Avast antivirus 5.1.889
IE8 and Google Chrome
Issue: I updated CCleaner 3.02.1343 to 3.03.1366. Google Chrome is listed under the CCleaner applications tab and I have all the boxes checked. When I run the new version of CCleaner to analyze files, not a single Google Chrome file shows up and when I run CCleaner to actually clean, no Google Chrome files are deleted, they still appear in the browser.
If I uninstall CCleaner 3.03.1366 and reinstall the previous version, Google Chrome files do show up after analyzing and CCleaner does clean them.
Can anyone reproduce this or suggest how I go about finding a fix?
Nergal -- there are no occurances of chrome.exe in task manager, the browser is closed.
cookieeater -- no pop up to close Google Chrome.
I'm starting to think that perhaps there's some type of conflict with another program but I've got a lot of detective work to try and sort it out. I'm going to conduct a test with the new version of CCleaner and another browser (perhaps Opera). I'll report back in a bit.
Okay. New version of CCleaner works perfectly with Opera browser. Google Chrome still shows under applications but files are still not showing up after analyze and they're not being cleaned. I uninstalled CCleaner 3.03.1366 once again and replaced it with version 3.02.1343 and as before, Google Chrome files show up and are cleaned using this previous version.
I can't find any programs conflicting with anything and I suspect if it was a Windows 7 x64 issue, there'd be other postings. I'm really stumped so for now, I'm sticking with the new version of CCleaner and I'm dumping Google Chrome.
I am having a very similar problem - with internet history cache not being cleaned, and the PC in question is X86. Running Chrome, Version 8.0.522.237, Win7 and CCleaner build 3.03.1366.
ELaimins -- I'd love to find out if this issue is just with some Windows 7 systems. I haven't heard of any issues with the new CCleaner and Vista or XP computers. If the previous CCleaner version worked for you with Google Chrome, as it did for me, you might want to uninstall the new version and reinstall 3.02.1343. I'm hoping the CCleaner developers can reproduce this problem and comme up with a fix.
I am using Vista Home Premium 32-bit OS(would not recommend it, ME was better than Vista).
AMD Turion Dual-Core RM-72 2.10GHz with 3GB RAM.
Avast 5.1.889
Chrome 8.0.552.237 & Firefox (never open IE browser so not sure what version it is on)
Could some of the Chrome junk be showing up in Windows Explorer-Thumbnail Cache?? When I use Chrome to game,I have noticed that the WE-Thumbnail Cache KB found is higher than I ever noticed in previous version of CCleaner. I still have to clean Chrome using Chrome tools even after running CCleaner. guess I need to do a bit more research to determine if Chrome cleans quicker after running CCleaner or not.
I did get a pop up asking Chrome to be closed when I had the browser opened, (Not sure if pop up is consistent cuz I know the browser needs to be closed to run cleaner) but CCleaner still didn't clean Chrome.
