George Mc Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'm new to CCleaner and am trying to fine tune it by using the Option - Include feature. AOL leaves a 0 byte file behind for every print done while on line under AOL. While some may say the HD space is null, but after a month or so on my system, there many be 1,000's of directory entries pointing to 0 byte files. The directory space consumed is far from null. The directory is in .... \All User\Application Data\AOL\your install level\Spool When I specify this folder under the include feature the 0 length files are NOT removed. So my question is: Is there some other option that I missed or does CCleaner skip 0 length files in it's deletion search? If it does skip them I would think that is a bug (in my IBM days that was called a special feature). The prior tool I've used does delete 0 length files to keep the directory structure "clean". Thanks for any help that can be offered on this. George - in the RTP area of NC where there is no snow left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2010 After inputting your include path you have to enable this otherwise it won't work: George - in the RTP area of NC where there is no snow left!

George Mc Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 THANKS! The Custom Files and Folders check box under Advanced did the trick. The interrelatinoship of Include Folders and Files and this check box is not intutive to a new user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
