Tom AZ Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I am a brand new CCleaner user. This app looks so interesting that I'd like to do some MAJOR cleaning. However, I know that this could probably get me into some big touble real fast. CCleaner seems to have found lots of stuff on my computer that could be removed, However, I'm not a "techie." So, when I look at all the stuff it finds, how do I know what's safe to clean (delete) -- and what's not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc836 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Generally, CCleaner will NOT remove anything that would be harmful. The default settings are very good. I do not use a few things just to be safe. Unless you know the result-do not use the "Advanced" settings as they will remove some things permanently. Also the "Applications area" has a couple of things I uncheck-mainly the Firefox cookies. The Issues category can also be of interest to you. Be careful with that as well. This is my experience and thus far I have had no issues letting the program run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom AZ Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 That for the info and for the reassuring comments. By the way, I haven't been able to find anything in CCleaner to defrag my drive. Does it include one?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
