pirifessor Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hello. I did just update many of the software I use, like Firefox and CCleaner. Then I did a reboot, followed by "Analyze" and "Start Cleaner" in CCleaner. Then I looked around in CCleaner and surprisingly saw more than hundred cookies listed in "Options - Cookies" while there should be zero. http://oi66.tinypic.com/25p61d0.jpg Of all those adresses I visited about 20% and 50% of those were allowed to save session cookies. There is also a local address listed, where I saved and opened a web site. And as a side note, I use Skype and I think they save a lot of cookies. Could you please explain this to me?

Moderators nukecad Posted December 5, 2015 Moderators Share Posted December 5, 2015 Those cookies were probably not cleaned because the process that was using them was still running in the background. You say you use Firefox and I notice that some of the cookies in your screenshot were for mozilla, did you have Firefox open, maybe minimised, when you ran CC? *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

pirifessor Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 It doesn't matter if it was running, cause I didn't even search for cookies with "Analyze".So now I did:there are mass "Removed Cookie" entries with 0 KB likeRemoved Cookie: addons.mozilla.org 0 KBand a fewC:\...\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\...\storage\temporary\https+++mega.co.nz\asmjs\module15 187 KBand oneC:\...\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\...\OfflineCache\index.sqlite 256 KBDoes that mean Firefox did delete all normal cookies but not those special ones? And CCleaner shows all deleted ones cause their names can be found on the hard drive as deleted files without "Secure Deletion"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators nukecad Posted December 6, 2015 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2015 It doesn't matter if it was running, cause I didn't even search for cookies with "Analyze". It does make a difference if it is running then Firefox will not be cleared. You should get a pop up asking you to close it if it is still running. (Unless you have previously ticked the 'Do not show me this again' box). But as you say you didn't even search for cookies then that will be why they were not cleaned. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?

pirifessor Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Does "0KB" mean that Firefox did delete those cookies? And CCleaner shows all deleted ones cause their names can be found on the hard drive as deleted files without "Secure Deletion"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
