gfmckewen Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I am trying to wipe files from a directory tree while leaving all the sub folders intact, I have not been able to find a setting that allows that, have I missed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted August 20, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 20, 2014 You could add the folder as an include in your routine ccleaning with a recursive choice in the options for that screen. But you can't use the "drive wiper" tool for your purpose. Ad a second option, you could make a winapp2 entry for it - see the link in my signature and the thread at the top of this board. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators mta Posted September 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2014 I take it this thread, and the @Neverbloom portions have been chopped as well as his winapp2.ini additions posts. Thought I'd mention it in case the OP wondered what happened to his thread. I don't mind saying that audio made me jump right out of my seat. bloody thing scared the crap out of me.
