Admin Dave CCleaner Posted January 17, 2022 Admin Share Posted January 17, 2022 4 hours ago, Anyone said: With every update of OS X CCleaner gets worse Well yes - as one might expect, if you are still using the old CCleaner 1.18.30 (which was released back in October 2020 for compatibility with BigSur 11.01) then, as per the notes above, it may well have issues with operating system versions that were released after that such as BigSur 11.1+, and Monterey 12.0+. As with any software, there is no guarantee that older versions will work on newer OSes that were released afterwards. For compatibility with BigSur 11.1-11.4 you would need CCleaner for Mac 2.0 (released June 2021) or higher. For compatibility with BigSur 11.5 you would need CCleaner for Mac 2.1 (released August 2021) or higher. For compatibility with BigSur 11.6+ and Montery 12.0 you would need CCleaner for Mac 2.2 (released November 2021) or higher.

Anyone Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 45 minutes ago, hazelnut said: New CCleaner for Macs released https://www.ccleaner.com/knowledge/ccleaner-mac-v2-3-136 It looks like any other of the "cleaners' it has similar features. I used it as soon as I installed it where it cleaned the log files. The log files don't appear on a subsequent scan. Log files are always present but v2-3-136 isn't finding them. V1-18-30 would find them but didn't clean all of them. I refer to CCleaner for Windows again, it cleans everything out and returns a result of zero files after 2 or 3 "Run Cleaner" actions. Perhaps Admin will come up with a reason that will seem like an answer! I think this version just tries to assure the user everything has been cleaned and not to worry that it hasn't. V2-13-136 looks pretty and it is designed to break away from the older version but it's mostly cosmetic. Hmm oh well we get what we're given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the Windows version doesn't do that, - following a clean Windows always puts 'empty' Windows logfiles and temporary files there; waiting for you to start filling them again. However it may look like they have all gone if you do 2 or 3 consecutive runs, but that's only because Windows pauses recreating the empty logfiles and temporary because something keeps deleting the new ones. Once you stop repeatedly cleaning/deleting the (already empty) new files with CCleaner, Windows will soon put new empty log-files back again. See the sections starting with "Windows files that re-appear straight after cleaning" for a longer explanation of how that works and why some files will always come back straight after cleaning on Windows: (and then where it says 'Windows' just substiute 'MacOS')https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/52668-tracking-files-not-cleaned-files-coming-back-solvedexplained/?tab=comments#comment-300043 *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?

Anyone Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 CC v2-3-136 is only deleting log files on the first pass but not on subsequent passes until the first pass on the day after.

Moderators nukecad Posted February 2, 2022 Moderators Share Posted February 2, 2022 So CCleaner for Mac is deleting the logs - but only once each day? I'm not sure about Mac but in the Windows version there are a few "Only delete files over 24 hours old" settings for various cleaning tasks. I'd check the settings in the new Mac version for similar. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

Well!! That was fantastic!! After checking the settings CC deleted my browser. I'm not impressed!! What were you thinking about when writing v2-3-136 code? So now going back to settings to put them back to default. Would you mind writing the code for a Cleaner of history not the wipeout of essential apps? It's not going terribly well for CCleaner is it?

Anyone Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) Just had to re-install 4 more apps CC deleted!!! What is CCleaner V2-3-136? Is it a JOKE app? It's doing things I don't want. I know how to remove apps and if I needed to I would do it without CCleaner. I need to uninstall CCleaner and try installing it again to reset the defaults Edited February 3, 2022 by Anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted February 3, 2022 Moderators Share Posted February 3, 2022 LOL, I don't write the code, I don't even work for the company. None of the forum moderators do. We are users, like yourself, who over time have proved themselves knowledgeable and helpful. Unfortunately we are short of experienced Mac users on the forum, so we do our best. It shouldn't have cleaned/deleted your browser, or anything else, unless you set it to clean/delete them. But just in case this is a bug (although nobody else is reporting the same) I'll flag your report for staff attention. It will probably help if you tell us what OS version you have, and what browser and apps went missing for you. Back to the logfiles thing: Looking at the new documentation for v2.# there are a few things that CClenaer for Mac v1.# did that v2.# no longer does You might want to take a look yourself at the various sections in that documentation:https://support.piriform.com/hc/en-us/categories/4418978752525-CCleaner-for-Mac-v-2 But for now here's what has been removed between v1.# and v2.#:https://support.piriform.com/hc/en-us/articles/4422885195149-Why-is-the-new-CCleaner-for-Mac-missing-some-features-such-as-Wipe-Free-Space- On of the things that I note has been removed is "ability to clean Recent Documents, Recent Applications, and Recent Places." It may be that it's baked into newer MacOS that you can't delete (system) files (logfiles etc.) less than 24hrs old? So there would be no setting for it. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

Anyone Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Errmmmm ok. This CCleaner are you sure it works? Because I just scanned and it identified trash files in the recycle bin. I did a clean and guess what? The trash file is still present in the recycle bin! I think you need to have another look at V2-3-136! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
