Differential Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I started using CCleaner again as it now supports Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit. Lately I found that it locked up on Internet explorer temp file listed as "xxx.flv;v=1" Quotes not included and xxx is listing before the actual file. This file locked up for over an hour. I tried twice running CCleaner to no avail. I went to this file (must view hidden files) and found that it was listed as read only. I removed the read only option and it did not help. Norton's 360 and SpyBot Search and Destroy did not list it in full system scans. Norton's file clean did remove it finally, however this is after I had changed if from read only. I don't know if Norton's would have removed it otherwise. I also had problems inputting this file text into this message (could be non related) after the third try and hitting return several times it started to work. I prefer CCleaner as it lets me keep certain Cookies ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieceKeepr Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I have had the same problem with Windows 7 Home Premium. I deleted the temp file so it showed up in the Recycle Bin and then CCleaner deleted it. It has happened a few times and each time CCleaner will run for hours but never move past the file it is hung on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Differential Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks for the reply ! I was unable to delete this using the normal delete, even after removing the read-only setting. perhaps, the Pro version is more limited in what it can do in these circumstances. When I tried to delete it, there never was a transfer to the recycle bin. That is why I resorted to spy ware searches and as a last resort Norton's file clean up. I tried to delete the individual file, as I don't know what the numerical file designations are in the Temporary file locations. Not knowing what they are I did not try to remove the whole file.

Alan_B Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Perhaps this file is created by an application which keeps it locked, and may possibly release the file if the close or even un-install that application and reboot These are alleged to use files with such names http://extensions.awdit.com/flv-v-1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
