index.dat NOT deleted

[pdp]

as you may see from the attached pics, CCclener does not delete Internet explorer's index dat file.

 

Of course, I made several cold reboots to check it.

The index.dat file you can never delete. If you do, it simply recreates itself after a reboot. CCleaner and all other cleaning programing clear its contents, not the file itself.

If the index. dat file is 16kb or 32kb, then it's empty.

sorry, I was meaning "CCCleaner does not clean its content". As you may see in the picture, my index.dat was over 1,900,000 bytes long, and contained all my navigation data from months ago to yesterday: CCCleaner simply did not erase its contents.

 

Yesterday, using another cleaning program (free internet window washer 2.1), I reduced index.dat to 32,000 bytes only: that's equivalent to an empty index.dat.

 

best regards.
