fredflintstone Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Seems that this system file stores lots of info regarding file accessed but does not seem to be cleaned by CCleaner - can this be added to the to do list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_B Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Some time ago I read that NTFS was more reliable than FAT because Microsoft had copied journalling and transaction logging from UNIX I believed that Microsoft would copy from others. I doubted that the result would be more reliable - UNTIL :- My Laptop with a single HDD lost all 3 off NTFS partitions and 3 off FAT32 and FAT partitions due to damage to the partition tables, and Minitool Boot Recovery CD fixed the partition tables and the MBR, and then everything worked - EXCEPTING That when Windows first booted it insisted that Chkdsk had to run on one of the FAT32 partitions, and it fixed a vast amount of corruption there. Windows tolerated all the other partitions but I ran Chkdsk anyway and the other FAT partitions had a significant amount of corruption, but the NTFS partitions just had a few minor security issues. I suggest that by removing this $Logfile the NTFS partition will be much less reliable, as bad as and possibly worse than FAT32, and it would be irresponsible for CCleaner to purge this file.
