Twood Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Am using IE8 on a pc running Windows 7, 64 bits. After cleaning with CCleaner, I noticed the following files were not deleted and still contained information of no use for any ordinary surfer. c:\users\ username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\IETldfCache\Low\index.dat c:\users\ username\PrivacIE\index.dat Am I missing something in the settings, or CCleaner does not clean those files? I added the second one in the section ''Advance'' and it worked. It does not work for the first one listed. Any suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 CCleaner doesn't delete the index.dat files, it "empties" them. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted April 20, 2011 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2011 CC does delete some, as I've just removed one with it. I think it was in Cached Feeds. I too have added PrivacIE\*.* to my includes, as it seems to grow whether you use IE explicitly or not. Whilst I don't expect CC to remove all the Index.dat files from my pc, what it does do is rather vague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be interesting to have it cleaned for security and privacy purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Side note: Neither of those folders are on my system, what generates them? winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Augeas Posted April 20, 2011 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2011 I think that PrivacIE came in with IE8. The first file looks like a Win7 file, I'm on XP so I don't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I guess they must both be IE8 files.. Question: Why use IE8 if 9 is out? winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
