Hi,

 

Currently running CC 1.36.430

 

I recently noticed that over many versions of CCleaner, and at least a year,

the following directory hasn't been cleaned out:

 

C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

which 3 or 4 subdirectories with "temp" files, including: 27CPQ2QN\ with:

(Since this is posted on 2008-04-20, we can see that those files are over 6 months old)

 

I've got most options checked/enabled, and most (all?) other "temp" files are getting removed ...

is this a bug or do I have something misconfigured?

(All items under "Internet Explorer except "AAutocomplete form history" are checked)

 

Running Win XP SP 2, well patched.

 

thanks!

Stan

Is there some reason you're not running the latest version of CCleaner? v2.06.567 http://www.majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_No...lish_d4191.html

 

Try using the latest version and after you run CCleaner, reboot the computer. Then check to see if the folder and files are still there. If they're still there then move on to the next steps I've listed.

 

It is safe to manually delete the folders in the "\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5" directory. Just close IE and then delete them if Windows will let you. If not you can try booting to Safe Mode (usually F8 during start up will get you there) and try it then. If that folder is still stuck, you can use "Unlocker".

 

This post is similar to another, so I'm going to copy what I put there.

This file is rebuilt by Windows automatically. Once you run the cleaner, reboot and see if it's smaller each time, it should be. If you still want to make sure it's really gone you can use, and use with caution, "Unlocker". This program will give several options for deleting files, including delete on reboot. Please use caution with it since you can delete files that Windows needs to run.

 

After all that let us know how it went.

 

Good Luck!
