MickinMD Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I just updated CCleaner and ran it, the result of which was my list of files for Acrobat Reader disappeared and my uTorrent torrents disappeared. I've since gone through the Windows and Applications tabs and unchecked things that were strangely checked by default including, under the Windows tab, "Last Download Location." On many browsers, etc. remembering the last download location is something the user intentionally chooses among the options. The files involved are a tiny amount of the normal file cleanup and wouldn't have much effect on users to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted October 26, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2018 g'day Mick and welcome to the forums. CC has always targeted junk, temp, crap, and personal history categories of files, to name the main-stayers. a lot of CC users predominantly run it to remove their usage tracks, be it browser based or most recent used files. I guess this is a good example of checking the default settings for any software before blindly running it, especially a piece of kit that will be cleansing your system. glad you found the cause and it won't happen again. and as you say, luckily they were only trivial data. 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.
