waynef Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Does CCleaner remove JPG's from computer? This is a second hand computer and I want to make sure any questionable(pornographic-Adult) pictures are removed from my unit. Waynf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 24, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2006 If they're in your browser cache (temporary internet files) in Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, Mozilla Suite, and a few other browsers then yes CC will remove the cache if that option is enabled on the large Cleaner button. CC will also remove such images from the global Temp folder, or the Temp folder of your user profile - this depends on your Windows OS version where such a folder is located. Note: Some of the porn .jpg images have too long of a filename and end up exploiting a filename length limitation in Windows. That limitation is not being able delete such files via Explorer and has to be done using backend Command Prompt tools as people have found out when posting for help to remove those. Removing them is not always successful as seen in this perplexing thread that stumped me rather well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
