Regards Internet explorer is used by many applications and Windows itself to render the program. As such IE recreates certain (now) empty indexes after ccleaner cleans them. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators Augeas Posted March 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2020 After an Analyse or Clean double click on the Internet Explorer items and a detailed list of the files cleaned will be shown. Don't ask me what relevance they have, use Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted March 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2020 As nergal says, other apps will use IE's storage locations for temporary files. Plus CCleaner will always find a particular IE file called 'deprecated.cookie'. (C:\Users\.....\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCookies\deprecated.cookie). As soon as CCleaner removes that file Windows will recreate it, so it will always be found. If you are using Custom Clean then you can make that file an exclude so that Custom Clean will then ignore it. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

Moderators nukecad Posted March 17, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 17, 2020 The 'deprecated.cookie' is a simple text file that contains the text: "Cookies are no longer stored in files. Please use Internet*Cookie* APIs to access cookies." It does nothing except sit there as a reminder to developers not to store cookies as files anymore. It's under consideration to whitelist it in CCleaner so that it doesn't show up anymore. https://ideas.ccleaner.com/31 As said above you can do that yourself in Custom Clean by making it an 'exclude'. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?
