I have already posted on this subject, but somehow or another it disappeared---where did it go?
Well here I go again.
Have CCleaner latest downloaded onto two computers one Vista, and theother XP.
The vista is used, but just kept turned on and when I do a clean down it removes MBs.
The xp is used all the time, but when i do a clean down it only removed KBs.
Why is this so, is the a bug in the system?
Thanks.

It's still there.
You could try looking at what the two pc's are deleting, and check or adjust the settings. Also you might have different settings on the browsers, or be using different browsers on the two boxes.
Orginal post was http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=30457&st=0&p=181943&fromsearch=1entry181943
There I stated
Latest Stable is Version 3.00.1310 (released today, your version is two versions old though)
On to the issue at hand
Are you closing your browser before cleaning (and making sure it is not remaining open; to do this open task manager, go to the Processes tab and look for any instances of the browser) What browser are you using?
what settings to you have checked off in ccleaner?
How often are you cleaning?
Thanks for that, I looked everywhere for my original posting and couldn't find it.
Anyway, I never had this problem ever, but three updates back, this strange event began.
I haven't changed any settings on CCleaner and all the basic boxes are ticked as they have been as long as I have used CCleaner.
But, now when I clean down the XP computer after using it and surfing the net all day, it removes sometimes only 100kb or slightly more, and it hardly gets into the MBs, where before it would remove anything up to 70MB.
I haven't changed anything, unless MSN, Hotmail and Live has done something to my tool settings to stop me from removing any of their unnecessary stuff, or their is a bug in the system.
The Vista computer, is only turned "ON" and I hardly use it, but when I close down on it it removes MBs, where you would thing it would only removed KBs, a small amout of temp files and cookies.
It all just doesn't make sense, why CCleaner isn't functioning the same on the XP computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks again
Sorry, I forgot to say that I am using Internet Explorer 8, and I always close down any programmes before cleaning, and don't touch any of the browser settings.
Oh well, still the same.
Closed down Win Vista that only sits on standby and isn't used, and when I closed down and cleaned it down before closure it cleaned 17.5MB.
Closed down Win XP, and had been surfing the Internet all day and viewing videos and it only cleaned 100KB. When a month back it would clean down over 30MB
It doesn't make any sense at all.
Regards.
Sorry to hear that you have problems using CCleaner.
Can you please let us know if you have "Delete browsing history on exit" checked under "Internet Explorer->General"?
Can you please let us know some names and folder location of the files that CCleaner is no longer deleting?
Thanks
