Please add option to remove Windows Update backups

[bbinnard]

Please add an optional function (not part of the standard CCleaner run) that deletes all of the backup files created by the Windows Update function.

 

Windows Update creates a backup of every file it modifies for each update it installs. These backups accuulate over time and take up lots of space. Most users never un-install a Windows update fix so these backup fiules are never needed.

If you're talking about the Hotfix Uninstallers that is already in CC, it's in:

Cleaner -> Advanced -> Hotfix Uninstallers

 

Note: You'll need to run the Issues scanner 1 or 2 times to remove some leftover invalid registry data that points to the Hotfix Uninstallers after removing them.
