Julianon Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 There seems to be a bug in CCleaner --- v5.63.7540 (64-bit) portable --- when it comes to long names. CCleaner will not delete the folder: Bundeskanzlerin _ Aktuelles _ Rede von Bundeskanzlerin Merkel zum zehnjährigen Bestehen der Stiftung Auschwitz-Birkenau am 6. Dezember 2019 in Auschwitz_files or any of the files within it. Presumably the folder name is too long (which Windows Delete tells me when I manually delete the folder), but long names like this unfortunately occur routinely when downloading a webpage. * Has this issue already been addressed (I found a 2010 post along the same lines)? * Am I missing a switch somewhere in the Configuration? * Or am I reporting a bug? Thanks very much for the free software, which I rely on all the time to clear cookies and old internet junk from my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted April 4, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 4, 2020 Long filenames have always been a problem with Windows. And as it's a Windows / OS problem then what any software can do to help get round the problem it is limited. https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/how-to-fix-filename-is-too-long-issue-in-windows/ *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?
