Remove .corrupt files from Firefox profile

Hi everyone,

 

I was cleaning my hard drive in preparation for the new year & I found 46GB worth of "places.sqlite.corrupt" files located here:

 

C:\Users\my name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xzhbek0e.myname

 

Here's what I found on Firefox's site:

 

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox

 

Anywho, I would like to see the ability to automatically remove these when I run CCleaner. I have a feeling that there are a lot of people that have these files on their machine & don't even realize it.

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

Try tossing this into a text file named "winapp2.ini" (save it with the quotes to save it as a .ini) and put it in your CCleaner directory, let us know if it works :)
