v5.30 can no longer clean my default sandbox

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

Hi all

recently i had to reset win10. As you know i could keep all my files but had to reinstall all programs/apps.

Since installing CC v5.30 it will not empty my default sandbox.

When i install sandboxie i keep it as standard and don't add any sandboxies.

I add it as C:\Sandbox\*,*

and to make sure i also add C:\Sandbox\The_boss\*,*

and the full pointer of C:\Sandbox\The_boss\DefaultBox\*,*

I've checked and the box is not emptied, any ideas

I'm pulling my hair out here as there is no other permutation to add it as

Please help

regards...

Does your default box not empty when you close your browser?

Do you have ''Automatically delete contents of sandbox'' in delete settings for the Default Sandbox?

Or are are you talking about something else?

If you mean you've added those locations in ccleaner as includes, then make sure you have the checkbox for includes (ccleaner windows tab, under advanced) enabled.

Hi i've added it to the include list under the options by clicking the prompts in "add".

Nergal, there is no windows tab under advanced. Theres Windows event logs and Windows size/location cache.

I've put a couple of word docs in a test folder on my desktop and then added that to the list and it works fine. i.e. i run CC and the test folder on the desktop gets emptied.

Help, any other ideas

Regards

Hi Hazelnut

No the default box doesn't empty nor has it ever, it's not set up that way....

Do you have ''Automatically delete contents of sandbox'' in delete settings for the Default Sandbox? No i don't, I've never set it up that way. I've always preferred to let CC clean everything....

I've uninstalled both CC and Sanboxie 5.18 completely with Revo uninstaller and reinstalled both.

I've added the sandboxie default box to CC and it still won't empty

Any ideas

Regards

Hi again Hazelnut

I've been testing and CC does see the sandboxie default box and cleans the regHive but leaves the drive folder and the user folder. This isn't much help as the drive and user folders retain all the PC and web activity.

Before my PC crash i had it set up exactly as i do now and CC would clear the sandboxie sandbox completely, i mean it would be empty.

Any ideas

I don't use CCleaner to delete the contents of my default box.

Sandboxie does that automatically when I close it.

Hi again Hazelnut

So you use sanboxie? How did you set it up to do that?

I can empty the sandbox as usual by right clicking the sandbox in the taskbar then defaultBox then empty.

But are you saying when you close the sandboxed browser it empties automatically?

obviously i'd like to let CC do the work but if i can set sandboxie up as above in the meantime that would be useful.

Hi again Hazelnut

Sorry i was being lazy, i checked out the settings and I've found in the settings "delete invocations" which I've applied and this does as you have said. It empties the sandbox on closure, so i'll stick with this for now.

Thanks for your help, its a shame i can't get CC to do it.

Incidentally there is a sandbox option in the applications list under utilities which i have ticked and can confirm it doesn't do anything. I think the CC program writers/owners should have a look at that as its a complete waste of time having the program listed in CC when it doesn't clean it.
