"Include" option for folder removal

[1up]

EDIT: This was reported in the bugs section ( http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=27089 ) I don't know if this is a confirmed bug in v2.29.1111 or a design change. Because I guess in previous versions, subfolders *were* removed.

----------

In v2.29.1111 in the "Include" section, I've added the following:

 

[x] Drive or Folder

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\

[ ] File

 

[x] All Files

[ ] File Types

 

[x] Recurse Subfolders

 

So the rule is the following:

 

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\*.*

 

----

 

Let's say I create a folder under "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\" called "TEST":

 

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\TEST

 

Then, inside this folder, "TEST", I create a file "New Text Document.txt"

 

Now, when I run CCleaner. It will use my custom "Include" rule, and it will destroy "New Text Document.txt"

but the folder, "TEST" will still remain.

 

----

 

I was wondering if you could give the option to remove the subfolders so...

 

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\*.*

 

would delete not only all the files (which is an option already given), but it would also delete:

 

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\UNUSEDFOLDER_1

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\UNUSEDFOLDER_2

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\UNUSEDFOLDER_3\UNUSEDFOLDER_A

 

etc...

 

Maybe even include an option to remove the parent folder too. In my provided example, I still want to keep the

"\Temp\" folder but sometimes there are instances where programs, when run, create folders that I no longer want around.

 

For example, lets say "SOMESOFTWARE_V1.exe" creates a folder and residual files:

 

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\FOOBAR1

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\FOOBAR1\readme.txt

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\FOOBAR1\settings\settings.ini

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\FOOBAR1\image_temp\image1.gif

 

so, I create a rule:

 

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\FOOBAR1\*.*

 

But I also want to remove the folder "FOOBAR1" after it's done cleaning all the contents of the subfolders.

I hope my examples were somewhat clear and that you at least consider these options for future builds.
