photoreel Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm wondering if there is a way to change the hours value of the "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 24 hours" setting? For example, I'd like to change this setting to "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 3 hours". Is that possible in any of the versions of CCleaner? If so, which version of CCleaner would I need and how would I change this value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted July 15, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2017 not doable with that option you mention, either turned on for more than 24 hours or turned off for not at all. a work-around would be to turn it off and manually INCLUDE the Temp folders yourself. that method lets you put in whatever hours you like. something like this might get you started; Include1=PATH|%systemdrive%\ProgramData\TEMP\|*.*|RECURSE|0|0|24 Include2=PATH|%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\|*.*|RECURSE|0|0|24 Include3=PATH|%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp\|*.*|RECURSE|0|0|24 Include4=PATH|%windir%\temp\|*.*|RECURSE|0|0|24 and you change the 24 to the hours you want. 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.

I'd like to clean files older than 1 min. Regarding the following lines, what other lines have to be taken into account and added in order to be compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11 ? Quote Include1=PATH|%systemdrive%\ProgramData\TEMP\|*.*|RECURSE|0|0|24 Include2=PATH|%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\|*.*|RECURSE|0|0|24 Include3=PATH|%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp\|*.*|RECURSE|0|0|24 Include4=PATH|%windir%\temp\|*.*|RECURSE|0|0|24 TIA Edited April 25, 2023 by Mister X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Dave CCleaner Posted April 25, 2023 Admin Share Posted April 25, 2023 13 minutes ago, Mister X said: I'd like to clean files older than 1 min. That seems rather specific. Any reason not to just switch off that option and delete all temp files?

I've just thought unchecking that option meant all temp files were not deleted. My bad. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
