QuiescentWonder Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I read the pinned topic but I don't believe it's the problem I'm having. If it is, perhaps a more detailed explanation in that topic is necessary. Every machine that I've installed CCleaner on has this problem, regardless of which hardware/OS is on the machines. When I run the registry scanner, then clean out everything it finds, I can run the scanner again immediately (5-10 seconds) after it says it's finished fixing all the problems, it finds about half of them again. I run the cleaner over and over and eventually it removes every entry. This has been an issue with CCleaner since I started using it (~8 months ago) and continues to be a problem in even the newest version. I hope that this problem can be fixed soon, I use this great software ALL the time! Thanks for the great software! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted June 10, 2009 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2009 It's a problem/feature with many registry cleaning programs. You remove something, then run the scan again and there will be more references. It's not necessarily a bug in my views, but more of an issue of removing a registry entry then finding other things that originally pointed to it, take for example CLSID entries.

dmonds Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I have this as well. So is this working as intended? If so, then perhaps you could add to your documentation that running the Reg cleaner multiple times until you get a clean slate is the way to go. dmonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted March 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted March 30, 2018 this is a 9 year old thread..... times have changed, running a reg cleaner is next to useless. no performance or space will be gained. official MS line here; https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2563254/microsoft-support-policy-for-the-use-of-registry-cleaning-utilities Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.
