where can I find a report on what has been deleted or a request for deletion?

You will need to be more specific than that, there is not enough there for anyone to understand what you are asking.

after running a scan, is there a report produced that lists the files that were deleted? does the software give me the option of delting yes or no? where can I access this report?

Custom Clean? Health Check?

Health Check does its own thing, and doesn't report much, so I guess you mean Custom Clean.

You can see a list of the files analyzed or cleaned in Custom Clean by right clicking on each category in the results - or by going to Options>Advanced and settiing the 'Results level of detail' to 'File list' which will show them all without having to click each category.

<img alt="image.png" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="18086" data-ratio="69.98" data-unique="fii9dvvpr" width="633" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2023_11/image.png.39d4f36a95cfdfe292b12e856e5f0af5.png">

However there is no way of saving the subsequently output list of files that I know of, other than taking a screenshot of it.

EDIT - Oops, yes there is but I'd forgotten about it, see the next post by lmacri.

There is also no way of de-selecting things after an 'Analyze' other than by unticking a category in the Custom Clean lists and re analyzing/cleaning.

You can permanantly exclude an individual file from cleaning by right-clicking it in the Ananlyzed list and selecting 'Add to exclude list'.

Just for completeness:

The only way I know to get a list of what has been deleted (or analyzed) is to run CCleaner in 'debug' mode which produces a log of everything it does, and saves it to the CCleaner folder.


As the name says that mode is meant for debugging problems. It records everything that CCleaner does - although the log is not easily understandable.





Extracting individual filenames from a debug log is not quick or easy, and what would you do with a list of already deleted files?

Hi 20400:

When I run a Custom Clean I can right click anywhere in the white space near my scan results and choose Save to Text File .... to save a file called Log.txt in any location I choose.

I can do this after I click the Analyze button if I want to see a preview of what CCleaner is going to clean, or after I click the Run Cleaner button to see what was actually cleaned.

As nukecad noted <above>, once you click the Analyze button there is no way to enable / disable individual files that will be removed unless you exclude them. For example, I have enabled the check box at Windows tab | System | Temporary Files so that Custom Clean will delete all my temporary Windows files, but I don't want the file C:\Windows\invcol.tmp removed so I've created an exclusion at Options | Exclude.

Thanks lmacri,

I must admit that I have used that option in the past, but had (temporarily?) forgotten about it, probably because I don't really have any reason for saving such a text file.

In my opinion it would be of very limited use - but that's my opinion, and so it's good that the option is there for anyone who does want it.
