Ccleaner Reports Wrong Size For Deleted File.

Recommended Posts

My C:\ drive was almost filled up with 218 GB out of 223 GB used out.

I ran WinDirStat and found out that I had 192 GB of temporary files.

The cause was a DVD burner software which lefts tens of 4.3 GB ISO images

temporary files around. (I think the program crashed while it was doing a 27 DVD

multi drive backup.)

 

Anyway, I used CCleaner (latest version 1.36.430), and it cleaned up all the temporary

files great plus some other stuff, and now I only have 23 GB used instead of 218 GB used.

 

But I noticed in the summary it said that it only cleared like 14 GB of files, and the size it

reported for the files didn't match what WinDirStat and Windows Explorer said.

 

For instance,

 

C:\DOCUME~1\Alex\LOCALS~1\Temp\NMS102.tmp 270.1MB

 

In Windows Explorer this was 4.3 GB file.

Is there a known issue with this?

 

This is on Windows XP SP2.

 

Thanks,

-Alex
