Health Check

[Michael Byerly]

Hello, I use Chrome. I clear my History/Cache, then I open CCleaner and do a Health Check. Immediately after this, I restart my computer. The very next thing I do is Open Ccleaner and do a Health Check. It says my Comp is "Under The Weather" again. My question, what's the point of doing the Health Check, if it can't heal my comp for more than 5 minutes?

Some Windows files will always come back straight after cleaning, but they will now be empty with all the junk removed from inside them.
CCleaner doesn't know if they are empty or not, so finds them to clean again.
(You don't have to do a restart, the files come back anyway).

You could also be seeing files that are 'synced' by your Chrome, so will come back from the cloud if/when you delete them from your computer.

For more details of why this happens and what you can do to prevent (some of) it, see this: (Click the title in bold).
See in particular "Files and 'Trackers' that re-appear straight after cleaning"

Thank you very much! Although I have been using PCs for over 20 years, admittedly, I should have spent more time learning how they work. This cleared up a lot for me. Again, Thanks!
