CCleaner.lnk with 820 MB ?

[John Grey]

I was defraggling my harddrive and one of the file that needed it was a link to CCleaner (which I am using and which is installed).

 

Clicking the link does not cause anything noticable, but while my normal desktop link to CC has 900 bytes, this link according to properties has 800MB !!!

 

What is this, and how should I proceed?

 

Thank you

It is not a link to ccleaner.exe by the looks of it.

 

If I do a right-click on my ccleaner desktop icon and select properties I see what is in my screenshot. It clearly shows a target of ccleaner.exe in program files.

 

What do you mean by ''one of the files that needed it was...''?

 

If you look in the root of your C drive is there a file there with the same size?

When I right click my actual ccleaner link on the deaktop, I get the same as you get...

 

''one of the files that needed it was...'' means, that this file needed defraggling, which it did without a problem.

 

I ran the Kaspersky rescue disk over the whole of C: and it came up negative with the whole computer

 

I will uninstall and reinstall ccleaner, and watch what happens....
