unicorn02 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hello, I have tried Windows Live One Care and its registry scan finds obsolete entries that are NOT discovered by ccleaner. Is there a chance that the ccleaner team can look into this issue and give a comment about that? One thing I discovered: The Microsoft Cleaner finds regentries of deinstalled hotfixes by ccleaner. The uninstall-path is left in the registry by ccleaner, even it has deleted the uninstall programm in the windows directory. Just one example. For comparison: CCleaner reported a clean registry and microsoft found another 400 "bad" entries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 16, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2006 Correct CCleaner removes the Hotfix Uninstallers, but leaves a horde of invalid data in the registry that still points to those removed Hotfix Uninstallers. I've removed all of them that RegSeeker finds with no problems. In reality it isn't a problem that they are left behind, as that in itself won't cause any problems.
