You simply have to wait longer, because CCleaner now has to process thousands of new entries. When all entries have been processed, CCleaner is ready for operation again. To speed up the start again, you can use the Trim function of Winapp2ool.

This code works fine.  I run with Offline accounts.  I have to stop services "CDPUserSvc_44dec" and "Connected Devices Platform Service" prior to cleaning.

 

I only use an offline account too.

When I used SMalik's revised [Activity History *] cleaner I had to stop both of these services for it to work (full names as seen in Services):
* Connected Devices Platform Service
* Connected Devices Platform User Service_48409

I wonder if it's safe to just disable those two services, or not?
Edit: I'll answer my own question. It cannot be left disabled because it screws with things like Win10's Night Light, and who knows what else that's tied into it, so I won't even bother cleaning Activity History again.

I also only use offline accounts and still have both folders on all systems. I found out that the service "Connected Devices Platform User Service_xxxxx" is responsible for the folder "random string" and the service "Connected Devices Platform Service" for the folder "L.username". The service "Connected Devices Platform User Service_xxxxx" can only be disabled permanently via the registry. However, since the service is no longer used only for sync tasks, it is better not to disable it - as you have already written. After deleting the cache databases, I have not noticed any side effects, at least until now.

Thank you for adding Process Hacker to the latest database update 

However, I've found another "cached" installation/update package located in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Process Hacker\Cache folder. There's another "NYGWEFSCZHOPGSU" folder inside of it and a processhacker-build-setup.exe file there.

The full path is then the following, correct?

%AppData%\Process Hacker\Cache\NYGWEFSCZHOPGSU\processhacker-build-setup.exe

However, I guess the folder name is randomly generated. Since it is located in a folder called "Cache", the question arises whether you can simply delete the entire contents of the folder. Can you please try if deleting the entire contents of the folder "Cache" will cause problems? Thanks a lot!

[don_dolarson]

Yes, the folder is located there and I guess it too! I've deleted whole folder with it's content and everything works like normal. No issues. Haven't seen any other file/folder in this "Cache" folder.

I've found another unneeded crap on my PC. These are coming from LibreOffice. A folder named program_old0 and program_old located in C:\Program Files\LibreOffice. I don't know what are they for but I've deleted them both and everything runs just fine. I guess they're some rest files from updating the application since there's another "program" folder in C:\Program Files\LibreOffice which contains exactly the same but newer created files. Both program_old folders occupied total of 50MB space on disk.

[APMichael]

Thanks for testing and your reply.

Here the revised entry:

[Process Hacker *]
LangSecRef=3024
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Process Hacker
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\Process Hacker\Cache|*.*|RECURSE
FileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\Process Hacker|processhacker-setup.exe

 

LibreOffice now seems to omit the version number in the folder name, so I modified the entry:

[LibreOffice *]
LangSecRef=3021
Detect=HKLM\Software\LibreOffice
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\LibreOffice\*\cache|*.log
FileKey2=%AppData%\LibreOffice\*\User\backup|*.*
FileKey3=%AppData%\LibreOffice\*\User\extensions\shared|log.*
FileKey4=%AppData%\LibreOffice\*\User\temp|*.*
FileKey5=%AppData%\LibreOffice\*\User\uno_packages\cache|log.*
FileKey6=%ProgramFiles%\LibreOffice*\program_old*|*.*|REMOVESELF

[PICPro]

OpenOffice can use the same treatment for program_old* folders (added filekey7):

[OpenOffice.org *]
LangSecRef=3021
Detect1=HKLM\Software\OpenOffice
Detect2=HKLM\Software\OpenOffice.org
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\OpenOffice*\*\user|*.log;*.log.txt;*.tmp;registrymodifications.xcu;registration.xml|RECURSE
FileKey2=%AppData%\OpenOffice*\*\user\config\imagecache|*.*
FileKey3=%AppData%\OpenOffice*\*\user\registry\cache|*.*
FileKey4=%AppData%\OpenOffice*\*\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office|Views.xcu;Writer.xcu;Common.xcu;Histories.xcu
FileKey5=%AppData%\OpenOffice*\*\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\ucb|Hierarchy.xcu;Store.xcu
FileKey6=%ProgramFiles%\OpenOffice*\program|*.log|RECURSE
FileKey7=%ProgramFiles%\OpenOffice*\program_old*|*.*|REMOVESELF
FileKey8=%ProgramFiles%\OpenOffice*\share\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages|*.tmp;*.log;log.txt

I'm thinking that we should have an entry to remove the html5 offline cache files from Mozilla based browsers. Ccleaner doesn't seem to do it natively and clearing the cache in the browsers seems to still leave the index.sqlite file, or it gets created as the browser exits if you manually delete it.

[Offline Cache *]
LangSecRef=3026
Detect1=HKLM\Software\ComodoGroup\IceDragon
Detect2=HKLM\Software\FlashPeak\SlimBrowser
Detect3=HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Basilisk
Detect4=HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Pale Moon
Detect5=HKLM\Software\Mozilla\SeaMonkey
Detect6=HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Waterfox
DetectFile=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox
Default=False
FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Comodo\IceDragon\Profiles\*\OfflineCache|*.*
FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\FlashPeak\SlimBrowser\Profiles\*\OfflineCache|*.*
FileKey3=%LocalAppData%\Moonchild Productions\Basilisk\Profiles\*\OfflineCache|*.*
FileKey4=%LocalAppData%\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\Profiles\*\OfflineCache|*.*
FileKey5=%LocalAppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*\OfflineCache|*.*
FileKey6=%LocalAppData%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\*\OfflineCache|*.*
FileKey7=%LocalAppData%\Waterfox\Profiles\*\OfflineCache|*.*

I can't test SlimBrowser or IceDragon. The other FileKeys seem to work correctly.

I'm not sure. If this is not cleaned up by CCleaner, then someone would probably have made an entry for it a long time ago.

If you search the forum for "OfflineCache", CCleaner seems to clean it up. The entry "Cookies" should do this. CCleaner cleans up the database directly (and therefore does not delete the ".sqlite" file itself).

https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/32310-winapp2ini-additions/page/263/?tab=comments#comment-288245
Quote: "... [Pale Moon - Offline Cache*] ... ok, found with Firefox -> Cookies (!!!) ..."

Edit:

I can now confirm that the "OfflineCache" is cleaned by CCleaner (entry "Cookies").

You can test it yourself as follows:
- Open a website using the offline cache: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/demos/offline/clock/clock2.html
- Check "appcache" with: about:cache
- Close Firefox and run CCleaner entry "Cookies".
- You can now see that CCleaner deletes the subfolders of "OfflineCache".
- Open Firefox and check "appcache" again: about:cache
- You can see that there are no more entries.
(The CCleaner entry "Compact Databases" then reduces the size of the cleaned ".sqlite" file back to the original size of 256 KB.)

Winapp2.ini update:
https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/commit/ae7b169afd579bb15f5f799e8162e242483958e2

[Willy2]

- For those who use Outlook Express Classic:

[OE Classic *]
LangSecRef=3022
Detect=HKCU\Software\OEClassic
Default=False
FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\OEClassic\Prg\Res|*.*|RECURSE
FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\OEClassic\Prg\T|*.*|RECURSE
ExcludeKey1=PATH|%LocalAppData%\OEClassic\Prg\Res\|dict-*.aff
ExcludeKey2=PATH|%LocalAppData%\OEClassic\Prg\Res\|dict-*.dic
ExcludeKey3=PATH|%LocalAppData%\OEClassic\Prg\Res\|dict-*.license

 

(The last 3 "ExcludeKey" entries make sure that the spelling checker doesn't get "wiped out")

 

- Questions:

1) Does it matter that "ExcludeKey1=" comes after "FileKey=" ?? Would it matter if I would reverse the sequence and put "ExcludeKey=" before "FileKey=" ??

2) Was this already included in a previous "Winapp2.ini" ?? I got these entries through the program CCEnhancer (not supported by the folks of CCleaner and use it therefore at your own risk).

1) No, the order does not matter. For a fast and automated error checking, however, an order had to be determined. And since only very few entries have ExcludeKeys, they were placed at the end of an entry.

2) Yes, the corrected entry is already included since last December. The tool you mentioned does not use its own Winapp2.ini file, but downloads ours from GitHub. Therefore, it's also better to report problems with entries directly here or on GitHub, rather than in the tool's forum.

[ricktendo64]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but can winapp2ool change all Default=False entries to True?

Also is there command line argument to achieve this?

Thanks

[Andavari]

If you can't wait. To change things like that in mass in a text document I use Metapad (it's outdated), but I suppose something more modern like Notepad++ could also achieve it.

You'd just need to use the Replace feature.

Edit:
Actually Notepad can do it. The one caveat using it though is it doesn't count/tell you how many items it changed - but it does work!

No, this function does not exist. But as @Andavari has already written, "=False" can be simply replaced by "=True" with Notepad.

(By the way, you can also right-click on a section name in CCleaner and select "Check all". But this does not directly change the Winapp2.ini.)

[don_dolarson]

The previously proposed application Caprine left over some files in C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Caprine after it's uninstallation, and disappeared from CCleaner. About 70MB of data.

Testing this entry, on reboot of the system, it causes an alert message to appear in the Notification tray asking if the user wants to make the network discoverable.  The default value is Yes.  This could be a bit discerning for users to who are running multiple computers on a network.
