In my desire to remove the bloatware, I… “Unpin from Quick access” any and all categories in the navigation plain of Explorer. The problem with CCLEANER x64 (6.30.11385) is that it puts them all back again. Can anyone tell me which CCleaner option (to check or uncheck) that would stop that from happening?
Thank you,

if you consider “quick access”-links to be “junk,” don’t use them. leave the “quick access” menu collapsed.
you probably need to adjust your setttings for windows “file explorer,” setting it to not add links to “quick access” and setting it to open to “this pc” instead of opening to “quick access.”
you probably need to explore all of the settings and features and tweaks for windows “file explorer.” i set it to always show the “ribbon,” among other things.
Hi redwolfe,
Thanks for stopping by.
After “unpinning” the six categories from the “Quick Access” area, I disabled the Quick Access feature using a registry hack. Running CCleaner is the only application that puts them all back again in spite of having no header with which to “collapse” them.
Re: … open to “this pc” instead of opening to “quick access.”
Done (long time ago).
Re: I set it to always show the “ribbon,” among other things.
If you’re talking about adding four more lines of seldom use real estate, that would defeat my desire to “clean” things up.

SOLVED:
I had added about 40 extra "include"s in the “Files to be deleted section”. These consisted of cache folders. temp files, log files, crash dumps, etc. I don’t know which one was causing my problem because I simply deleted C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.ini and allowed CCleaner to create a new one.
