Pretty sure the first picture are dom cookies and thus are handled by ccleaner already, and the second by sessions under edge.

You may wish to include an entry to remove *.chk files from Webcache as well.

On my Windows 10x64 Pro systems, V01.log, V01tmp.log, WebcacheV01.dat, and WebcacheV01.jfm are locked.

I thought it was our "policy" not to remove Backup files from security programs and the like. ??

Correct, the entries for cleaning old definitions of "Microsoft Security Essentials" and "Windows Defender" are in Winapp3.ini already.

 

I opened a pull request for all revised entries and suggestions: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/pull/301.
If no one objects on GitHub, I will merge it on Wednesday.

It is not an actual backup. These are definition update leftovers.

What you say about the backup entries showing in the screenshot?

Sorry, but I didn't define that "policy". The community decided not to include such files from security programs! Feel free to start a survey on whether the community wants to include the definition backups in Winapp2.ini again. (BTW I use that FileKey in my custom Winapp2.ini also.)

OOPPS!  One of the most recent changes to MS Edge is removing the Favorites in the Favorites Bar <_<  We had this problem once before when we started including some of the Edge files.

Plus we are now damaging Chrome Extension when running this new Winapp2.ini

Thanks for your fast feedback.

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this problem. This should only happen if the spartan.edb file gets removed, but the file is protected by an ExcludeKey. (The "DBStore" FileKey and ExcludeKeys were used for a long time previously, without any problem report.)

Not good, then we have to add the ExcludeKeys to the entry [Logs *] again.

Works fine with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. There is no issue whatsoever.

Thanks for your fast feedback, too.

Unfortunately, siliconman01 reports a problem with a Chrome extension. Therefore, we have to add the ExcludeKeys to the entry [Logs *] again.

Suggestion: Should we move the *.old cleaning into a new entry, e.g. [Logs old *]?

I have 4 different computers all using Chrome and also Edge on Windows 10x64 Pro Build 17134.286.  ALL 4 experience the same failures on Edge and Chrome with this new Winapp2.ini.

The Chrome issue should be clear. This can be fixed by just adding the ExcludeKeys again. It seems that there are still Chrome extensions that need the ExcludeKeys.

The Edge problem is weird. I don't think it is caused by the new "UrlBlock" or the "Recovery" FileKeys. And the old "DBStore" FileKey and ExcludeKeys were used for a long time.

Can you please check if your trimmed Winapp2.ini includes the 3 ExcludeKeys? And that the spartan.edb file doesn't get removed? Thanks!

Thanks for your fast reply and your help.

I made some tests on another computer and was able to reproduce the issue now, but only once. I hope I will find the culprit, otherwise we have to remove the "DBStore" cleaning again.

It could very well be a glitch in the CCleaner "exclude" logic or whatever ;)

Ok, I hope I found the problem. It was a strange interaction between the "DBStore" cleaning and CCleaners own entries "Session" and "Set Aside Tabs".

Could you please test this new version of Winapp2.ini:

You twisted my question. As per my understanding, this policy applies to any backup. Therefore, the backup entries from Google Chrome should be removed.

Now, it is deleting favorites. Most programs exclude %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_*\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\DataStore\Data\nouser1\*\DBStore\LogFiles from cleaning. Also, spartan.edb and spartan.jfm files from %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_*\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\DataStore\Data\nouser1\*\DBStore

My recollection of this debate several years back was that we would not remove backup files for security programs and registry cleaning programs.  I believe Robert arbitrated the debate and made the final decision on what would not be removed.
