very slow clean

[can-do]

I am running CC cleaner and it is taking a very long time to clean 160 KB internet cache. this normally happens in seconds.

 

why is the location shown in CC, Users/Paul?Library/Caches/com.apple.safari.... etc    not visible in Finder

 

In Finder:

 

User/Paul/ ...........does not have , Library

 

Library/Caches/..........does not have com.apple.safari

 

looking at the blue progress bar this could take hours

 

help please

 

thank you

When I first started using CCleaner it would take a few seconds to analyze, and then no more than 30-45 seconds to clean. Size to be cleaned did not seem to matter. Today, the analyze function can take up to a minute, and the cleaning function has taken up to 7 minutes to finish. I just ran it for 150 mb and it took 51 seconds! I clean every day prior to shutting down, and I  make certain there are no applications open. I think something is wrong, but I sure don't know what it is. Can someone help? Thank you.

The latest version of CCleaner is not operating properly with Safari.  I purchased the program yesterday, but it's still doing it.

I always force quit Safari before cleaning.  After a long start, CCleaner asks this question:

"Safari needs to close down an internal process it will restart after.  Do you wish to continue?"  I click yes.

Then it asks this question twice to unlock something:

"CCleaner wants to make changes.  Type your password to allow this."  Safari cleaning ends quickly after this function, but

the cleaning is not completed because I don't need to enter my G-mail passwords as I used to do.

Please help.  Thank you.

I am having the same exact issue. CCleaner Freee version 1.15.507, OS X High Sierra version 10.13.6. 

 

I don't get a prompt to close Safari, but it takes almost 15 minutes and makes me type in my password twice in order to clean. Asks for password at /Users/xxxx/Library/Safari/LocalStorage/https_secure-dcr.imrworldwide.com_0.localstorage-wal and /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/com.apple.WebKit.WebContent_DATE_computername.wakeups_resource.diag

 

Help please

Update:  even though it takes longer, it appears that the cleaning is competed from the data that CCleaner shares once the cleaning is complete.  I also know this from the performance of Safari before and after.  When Safari prompts me with questions during the cleaning, I just click cancel rather than entering my password (saves time).
