"Recently used files" not cleaned.

That isn't a bug, it's the way that Windows works.

What your screenshot shows is the 'Recently used files' in Quick Access - That isn't the same thing as 'Recent Documents' in File Explorer.

You can turn it off.

Right-click on Quick Access and select Options.

Untick "Show recently used files in quick access".
Click 'OK'

Hi nukecad:

Are you sure you and the OP emrahylz are talking about the same "Recent Files" list?

I have a Win 10 Pro v22H2 OS and as far as I know CCleaner v6.10's Custom Clean feature is working as expected and clears the "Recent Files" list in File Explorer if I select "Quick Access", assuming I have selected "Recent Documents" to be cleaned.

I ran a Custom Clean today with these settings:

This is what File Explorer's "Recent Files" list looked like before the Custom Clean when I chose Quick Access (i.e., 12 recent files; note that I collapsed the "Frequent Folders" section of Quick Access before capturing the image) ...

... and here's what it looked like after the clean (i.e., 0 recent files).

Merhaba nukecad:

Siz ve OP emrahylz'in aynı "Son Dosyalar" listesinden bahsettiğinizden emin misiniz?

Win 10 Pro v22H2 işletim sistemim var ve bildiğim kadarıyla CCleaner v6.10'un Özel Temizleme özelliği beklendiği gibi çalışıyor ve "Hızlı Erişim"i seçersem "Son Kullanılanlar "ı seçtiğimi varsayarak Dosya Gezgini'ndeki "Son Dosyalar" listesini temizliyor. Belgeler "temizlenecek.

Bugün şu ayarlarla bir Özel Temizlik çalıştırdım:

CCleanerv6_10CustomCleanRecentDocuments20Mar2023.png.0e958c265c1f1340c22dfbfb3b1cf0c5.png

Hızlı Erişim'i seçtiğimde Özel Temizleme'den önce Dosya Gezgini'nin "Son Dosyalar" listesi böyle görünüyordu (yani, son 12 dosya; görüntüyü yakalamadan önce Hızlı Erişim'in "Sık Kullanılan Klasörler" bölümünü kapattığımı unutmayın) ...

... ve temizlikten sonra böyle görünüyordu (yani, son 0 dosya).

No, we are not talking about the same lists.

I'm saying that they are different lists and that only one is being cleaned not the other

And just for anyone looking here's another 'Recent Files' list - the recent files in the Taskbar jump Lists - and how to clear it with Custom Clean.
