v3.03: Chrome multiple profiles not cleaned

I've installed v3.03 since it would be able to clean multiple profiles in Google Chrome. For the record: I've installed Chrome using the Google Pack, i.e. one central (automatically updated) Chrome app instead of all kind of local apps scattering around.

I've setup another profile as recommended on various internet sites, by creating a new shortcut to Chrome and adding the --user-data option. The full shortcut (on Win7) looks as follows:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir="C:\Users\Victor\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\SecondProfile".

After starting Chrome using this shortcut I've observed a new folder tree "C:\Users\Victor\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\SecondProfile" has been added besides the standard folder "C:\Users\Victor\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data".

From a Chrome perspective everything works fine, however CCleaner doesn't clean this secundary profile location.

(Sadly it didn't clean my main profile neither, but I could track this down to this bug).

PS. I can imagine finding Chrome profiles for CCleaner is quite a challenge since a user might place them anywhere on the system, e.g. "E:\Temp". However I placed my second profile in Chrome's root AppData folder so I'd expect CCleaner would find it...

CCleaner looks under "User Data" for multiple profiles:

Please try:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\SecondProfile

Thanks

Thanks for your reply MrT. I tried this, and it works on Windows 7 but not on Windows XP, i.e. CCleaner doesn't find any files for SecondProfile (of course the APPDATA root path differs on XP).

Further, in my opinion this is not the right place to put a second Chrome profile since it potentially interferes with Chrome's data structure of the Default profile. The structure of the Default profile looks like this:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

|- [Default]

| |- [Cache]

| |- [databases]

| |- [etcetera...]

|- [Temp]

|- Files

When I put my SecondProfile where you suggest it, the data structure changes as follows:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

|- [Default]

| |- [Cache]

| |- [databases]

| |- [etcetera...]

|- [secondProfile]

| |- [Default]

| | |- [Cache]

| | |- [databases]

| | |- [etcetera...]

| |- [Temp]

| |- Files

|- [Temp]

|- Files

As you can see the original data structure is replicated within the Default profile folder.

Suggest you'd like to run version 2 of CCleaner side-by-side with the latest CCleaner on your system. When the latest version is installed in C:\Program Files\CCleaner then you would install version 2 in e.g. C:\Program Files\CCleaner2, not in C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner2.

So I'd like to propose that CCleaner also looks for profiles residing on the same level as Default, which is one level higher than CCleaner currently is looking.

Thanks, we'll look into this.

We were not able to replicate the XP problem. All profiles under "User Data" were found correctly by CCleaner.

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data

Thanks
