CCleaner has messed my pc up


Recommended Posts

I was playing a video game and while I was playing, Ccleaner decided that 48,000~ MB (48GB) need to be removed. Since I had been using the app for a while for computer cleaning, I trusted it and let it clean 48GB of whatever it was clearing. Next thing I know my game crashed. Every time I open the game, the game would crash and it was for multiple games. The gpu should be fine itself and I have the latest download of the drivers. I did uninstall and reinstall the drivers after this btw. I am suspecting that Ccleaner had removed a driver or file from my pc but I don't know which one. How do I find and install the drivers I need in order to be able to play again?

The cleaning wouldn't remove any drivers.

But if you have used the Driver Update tool (or the Registry Cleaner tool) then you could have messed one up.

If you did use CCleaners' Driver Updater then see this: https://support.piriform.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402564268429-I-m-having-a-problem-with-Driver-Updater-What-are-my-options-

PS. 48GB is a lot to be cleaned, had you not done any cleaning for a while?
You may want to check that you don't have a corrupted recycle bin which can cause false high figures, it's easy to fix.

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