Cleaning index.dat files does not work

[domi]

Hye,

 

When using CCleaner v2.06.567, the index.dat files are not cleaned.

To clean index.dat files, I use "Index.dat Analyser" v2.0 from www.systenance.com

 

Could you correct CCleaner in order to clean history, cookies and cache stored in index.dat files.

 

Thanks in advance

Do you mean that the index.dat files are not overwritten? CC cannot overwrite index.dat files as they are in use, and locked, by Windows. When Windows is running, that is. The files are scheduled to be deleted at pc boot time. When Windows initiates it reinstates new empty index.dat files. You can wipe the deleted files with Recuva. Some index.dat files seem to hang around and are not used: CC doesn't touch them.
