markbyrn Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I'm using CCleaner v2.25.1025 with Adobe Flash Player checked in the multimedia tab of CCleaner settings, and I have verified that CC does NOT remove local shared objects aka flash cookies. Verification of non-removal can be made by going to http://www.macromedia.com/support/document..._manager07.html and viewing the visited websites. Keep in mind that the Settings Manager that you see on the macromedia website is not an example image; it is the actual Settings Manager for your computer. You can delete all the objects by clicking "Delete All Sites" and there is a firefox add-on called 'better privacy' that will also do it but CCleaner isn't doing the job unless there is an additional setting that I'm unaware of.

Moderators DennisD Posted January 17, 2010 Moderators Share Posted January 17, 2010 There are Flash Cookies which aren't removed by CCleaner, and I think it may be because the particular locations involved are used by quite a number of sites to store Log In details, and Settings. C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\Z9N7G7KH Bold highlighted number will differ on your computer. and ... C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys I have a couple of folders containing this type of info for a couple of sites I use on a regular basis in both of these locations, and any other "settings.sol" files or folders, I clean with a CCleaner "Include". It's six of one and half a dozen of the other for me. If the Macromedia folder was cleaned, I would have to use "Excludes", and as it isn't, I use "Includes".

LegoBas Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The Flash player leaves a lot of garbage behind... Besides the 'flash cookies', the settings.sol file contains a list of visited websites (with flashplayer)! C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\settings.sol This file should be cleaned, most people don't have any specific flash settings!
