George Lea Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I've used Ccleaner for years, all the while assuming that it cleaned up EVERYTHING in the registry, until just now. I uninstalled a program then tried re-installing it only to see that it could see numerous paths, etc of previous installs. Then, I start examining my hard drive, and registry only to find a ton of entries it left in the registry. What's the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 It simply gives a quicker access than Windows Control Panel to whatever un-installer was included with the initial installation. Blame Adobe or whatever the supplier was - they are guilty of failing to do a clean job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KapnJackSparrow Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 even things like .Net leave broken stuff behind on a clean system installation. at least with the registry cleaner built into ccleaner you can find some of the stuff left behind.
