Index.dat issue


Recommended Posts

Currently this is the only "bug" i can report. Since i can't find any other

user reporting the same issue, i guess this is a fault of my S.O. :blink:

 

Windows XP Pro sp2 fully patched.

IE7 ver. 7.0.5730.11

 

CCleaner detect and clean everything as always, but index.dat files

 

Note: I can easily delete them using another application (after reboot, of course).

Note2: Tried previous versions of CCleaner (included the portable one). No way :unsure:

 

 

Any help will be appreciated

Same to me.

 

Win 2000 Pro

 

Analyse process found one index.dat file only - but can't remove it. After rebooting the file is the same (size and the content).

 

Can't find the others index.dat'files.

 

With another app. like MV AntiSpy and Index.dat Suite all the index.dat files are found and deleted. The source'problem can't to be about OS and/or language OS.

Well, making a file search (unhiding all file types, of course) i can find 6 or 7 index.dat

files, in Application Data, Local Settings and System paths. They are all 16 or 32 KB, are

unlocked by the system, and are deletable simply using right click > delete.

 

The... "good one" is in G:/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5 folder,

and currently is about 500Kb or so.

 

CCleaner Analyze doesn't detect any index.dat file at all, here.

A quick search of all files on my system (XP Home) finds 8 index.dat files, none above 76Kb

My Content.IE5 folder is at:

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

 

And the index.dat there is 32Kb

Wonder that is a "systemprofile" not in use, since i can delete the index.dat file in that path without reboot.

I know my Internet Cache is not keeped in the default location (it is moved in G:\Temporary Internet Files\),

but is my choice and is like this from ages, and has never been a problem for CCleaner. It find and clean all the

other files type in that location (temporary internet, cookies, history, and so on...) but not index.dat ones. :blink:

Neither after the latest update to 1.40.520.
