joeb Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi, Is it possible to use CCleaner for removing whole groups of files using the extension? Say I wanted to sweep all files with the extension *.bak og *.chk. As CC is now I cannot see how this is possible. I have to point out the specific files (or folders) in the Options -> Custom menu.

Moderators TwistedMetal Posted November 2, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2006 You can have it clean all the files with an extension in a folder, but that is. It won't scan your hard drive for certain file extensions. Which is why I like CCleaner, you can run into problems just wanting to clean certain file extensions. That's one of the reason's why CCleaner is so safe.

CeeCee Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 You can use Windows own search (Start-Search) for that; Just type example *.bak to search box,specify location and start searching. Then press Ctrl+A to select all and remove. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenknight Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 EasyCleaner does that: http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/...ne.htm#download It displays the selected files and lets you choose which to delete. Still, I would be very cautious about adding file types to the normal set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
