emm Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi everybody. Can anybody answer this question? When you download a new version of Ccleaner, are you supposed to end up with 2 cleaners? Doesn?t the new version usually incorporate into the old one? I have Ccleaner 2.18.878. When I downloaded Ccleaner 2.22.968, I ended up with 2 Ccleaner icons in my Desktop, one for 2.18 and another for 2.22. I clicked each one, and each one brought up it?s respective version. I went to Add/Remove in Control Panel to remove 2.22, (2.22 was the only Ccleaner there). I removed that. Now I don?t see any Cleaners in Add/Remove, or in Program files. I thought that before this last download I had an entry for the cleaner in both of these areas. Now I don?t know where they went, I just have the 2.18 icon on my Desktop. This version still seems to work OK. This is what I did: When I clicked the cleaner I got a message that there was an new version to download. I clicked ?Yes? to go ahead and download. I got this page that said ?Click here to download? I clicked that. I got a page with 2 options to click to download, I chose ?FileHippo.com?. In FileHippo, I was not sure where to click. I clicked ?Download Latest Version?. On the ?Do you want to save this file? I click ?Yes?, and ?Yes? in the next prompt. Restart. Is there something I was supposed to do differently? I use XP/SP3, IE7, AOL, Mozzilla 3.5.2. and AVG Free 8.5 Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Now I don?t know where they went, I just have the 2.18 icon on my Desktop. This version still seems to work OK. Right-click the icon > Properties to see where CCleaner.exe is located. It's possible that one version did not install to C:\Program Files\CCleaner.

There is no "Find target", to go to where the program is downloaded. I went to Start > Search and found there a whole bunch of Ccleaner 18.8 and 2.22 files. So, evidently, I still have both programs, (in C/Program Files) although they do not appear in Add/Remove, or in Start > Programs. Why did I end up with 2 versions? I thought that when you update to a new version, the new one would replace the old one so that you end up only with the new version in your system. I now, probably, will have to uninstall everything that has to do with Ccleaner and then install again. Unless someone has a better suggestion?

In Start > Search it shows the old Ccleaner Application as being in Desktop, and the newer version shows that it is in C/Program Files. Weird.
