djc Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It appears that ccleaner 2.16 won't remove a directory with "$" in its name, even when I specify it specifically for inclusion and it appears correctly in the .INI file. Files within the directory are deleted, but not the directory itself. I first noticed this with UltraISO's working directory %TEMP%\Ultra$ISO but have since checked it with other directories whose names contain "$". It won't delete them. (It apparently will delete individual files with "$" in their names, however.) Known bug? Workaround? Thanks. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djc Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm surprised this has gotten no notice. It's a pretty gross fault. djc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted March 5, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm wondering if this workaround for deleting a folder as well as it's contents would do what you require: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showto...st&p=124249 This was posted by Augeas recently, and as stated, worked for me, although not with those particular folders. Remember to check "Custom Files And Folders" in CCleaner\Windows\Advanced. EDIT: Welcome to the forum by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
