surrounder Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Why doesn't Ccleaner erase the cache and localdata from chrome? I had so much data today inside the chrome map, and the data was from 2009. It's, thumbnails, visitedlinks, webdata, and cache and media cache. And it doesn't seem like Chrome delete this when uninstalled either. I hope someone can look at "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\local settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\". Maybe i`m just paranoid, but if it's more data that is saved it should be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcen Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm wondering the same thing here, my media cache folder is 204mb. Is it not safe to delete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted October 13, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 13, 2010 Google chrome is cleaned by ccleaner is your chrome installed in the default location? either %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe %ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe (localappdata is a different location depending on whether you use XP or Vista/7) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Forcen Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The folder is here for me: C:\Users\Forcen\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Media Cache My chrome exe is located here: C:\Users\Forcen\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe Im using Win7 So Ccleaner is supposed to clean this media cache folder? EDIT: My mediacache folder is pretty empty now, maybe it was ccleaner, not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randompages Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 i've installed the newest ccleaner r3.00.1303, it can clear the default Google Chrome profile but NOT the custom one. the directory structure similar to the default one except that the prfile name is not "Default". In my box it looks like C:\Documents and Settings\---win-user---\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\---profile-name---\Default\Cache is there any tweaks to do this? TIA, dwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
