Why is it that after I run custom clean then health check I still get hits in privacy and space on health check, I ran it 10 times once after a full internet history clean and a full custom clean, and every time health check came back with both privacy and space hits. have pc on airplane mode at the time so NO internet connection did a full virus scan somewhere towards the end. The 2 pics are taken less than a minute apart with a scan, a fix then another scan. It's always under the weather.

It's not something to worry about, it's just the way that computers work.

You will always see some 'Trackers' (actually cookies and browsing history) and some 'Junk'  to remove,

For a more detailed explanation of what 'trackers' are and why some of them, and some other fies, always come back after cleaning - and how you can prevent some of it - see this:

Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? See this link:

also there's no reason to do a healthcheck and custom cleaning.  Health check cleans up under its own rules (rules that you can check or uncheck if running custom clean) and runs some of the items in tools (software updater for instance).

 

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.
