CCleaner Taskbar JumpLists cleaning does not work

[thoste]

I ticked in "Windows Explorer section of CCleaner v5.92 the checkbox "Taskbar JumpLists" and run it on 64bit Windows 10 v21H2.

Much to my surprise all the corresponding file entries in the two folders:

C:\Users\thomas\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations\

and

C:\Users\thomas\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\

are NOT cleaned but be kept after a CCLeaner run.

Whats wrong?

How can I get rid of them otherwise?

Do I really have to add them manually  in the "include folder" section?

Aren't those in File Explorer and not on the Taskbar?

Have you ticked "Recent Documents" in the same 'Windows Explorer' section of Custom Clean?
(If just that doesn't do the job then tick "Other Explorer MRUs" as well).

And just to make doubly sure - you are using Custom Clean and not Health Check.
Health Check takes no notice of the Custom Clean ticks/unticks.
