You are right, I tried writing down each type, one by one and I encountered that the problem was with ~*.* when was present in the list. But ~*.* isn´t the same of *.*. Maybe CCleaner doesn´t allow all that contains *.*, no matter where it is located inside of the file type.

The tilde simply makes the expression case sensitive.
As * doesn't have a case then the tilde is meaningless unless there are other letter characters present as well.
*.* is allowed in a CCleaner include/exclude, but only if you specify the rest of the pathname. (and it isn't a pathname to system files).
eg-
C:\Program Files\Some-program\Logs\*.*
C:\Program Files\Some-program\Temp\*.*
Are both perfectly acceptable, and wil delete all files in the specfied directories.
