Hi, this may sound silly, but i need a solid answer for this.

how the scanning process work in CCleaner?

 

ex: how CCleaner can scan temporary files, cleaning cache & cookies and registry?

answer: it only scan cached files or some specific extension files(.xml,.mp3)

 

thanks so much.

It does it by knowning what specific files and areas to look for.

It has a list of files and file types which defines the areas of the PC to clean.

 

This 'list' can be found using the /EXPORT switch.  The 3 files it creates are what CC uses to identify the crap to remove.

Further control is achieved by using INCLUDES and EXCLUDES.

Backup now & backup often.
It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.
Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
