Heathen Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 All the contents of both these folders can be deleted with no problems. %AppData%\local\NVIDIA\NvBackend\ Im really surprised CCleaner does not clean this because it can take up a lot of space and possibly internet usage allowance. %Windir%\AppCompat\Appraiser\Telemetry\Baseline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 I decided to go through my folders and this is what I deleted that CCleaner missed: %AppData%\Local\Steam\htmlcache\%AppData%\Local\Adobe\AcroCef\DC\Acrobat\Cache\ %AppData%\Local\Sony\ErrorReport\ I am unsure how this may affect the application but it looked useless.%AppData%\Local\Battle.net\%AppData%\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\???\safebrowsingAnything with goog, trackwhite, track or badinurl excluding test, pretty much every file that does not start with test as I disabled safebrowsing because I use Kaspersky and Ublock Origin instead%AppData%\Local\Windows Live%AppData%\LocalLow\Sun\JavaAny folder modified before the Deployment folder%AppData%\LocalLow\Oracle\JavaLeft behind from an uninstall:%AppData%\Roaming\Skype%AppData%\Roaming\TS3ClientPrivate History%AppData%\Roaming\Stegisoft\UltraFileSearch\UltraFileSearchItems.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted April 10, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 10, 2016 %AppData%\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\???\safebrowsing Not worth bothering with that folder. I used to clean it out, but Firefox will just put it back since it's using Google's list of what's safe on the web such as blocking the ability to load a known by Google infected malware injecting site.

Heathen Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 I have heard people dont use it and block a lot of google hosts as it a privacy issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted April 10, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 10, 2016 Blocking it may lead to getting an infection because Google can classify a site as unsafe relatively quickly - faster than our antivirus software which may or may not detect a malware infected site.

Heathen Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Yea I dont recommend disabling it when I install computers for others but I dont need it as I have managed for years without any hand holding (apart from a good AV) and it doesnt stop MITM attacks anyway(I dont think?) so for me its a false sense of confidence if anything. If it can stop MITM attacks then Kaspersky will do it anyway as it checks certificates heuristically and actively. btw this forum needs HTTPS at least for its sign up and login.

Jefr Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Also the "Google Search" function is not erased. That means the GS is left intact.
