CCleaner, why not delete Windows "Recent" folder contents?
To the CCleaner fanboys... I'm not complaining. It's free, I know. Think
of this as a suggestion. Why not delete Windows "Recent" folder contents? C:\Users\Master\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ Recent Maybe there is a setting that I'm missing? Thanks. |

Hi Doe, I have never seen CC Cleaner do any real help, but I have seen it do a lot of damage. Be careful with it. I consider CC Cleaner to be junkware. That being said, %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Keeps track of only a limited amount of recent activity. I would leave it alone. It is a friendly feature. Are you noticing it growing large? If you are concerned that your hard drive is filling up with garbage, install a Tree Size utility such as http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/ http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/ And ask us about anything that sticks out. -T |

It is a friendly feature. Are you noticing it growing large? If you are concerned that your hard drive is filling up with garbage, I was concerned about that back in the Windows 3.1 days. But with each Windows upgrade, Microsoft dumped exponentially more stuff on my hard drive, so that any concern about excessive and unnecessary files became useless. Space is definitely not the problem. install a Tree Size utility such as http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/ http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/ And ask us about anything that sticks out. I have been in this group since, like, Paul was in diapers (just kidding, Paul). My system is basically bulletproof, since I keep "an image of the partitions required to backup and restore Windows". I haven't noticed CCleaner doing any harm, at least not harm that was difficult to correct. |

My system is basically bulletproof, since I keep "an image of the partitions required to backup and restore Windows". I haven't noticed CCleaner doing any harm, at least not harm that was difficult to correct. On my system, which only runs Windows in qemu-kvm Virtual Machines, I make a full clone as "part of" my weekly full backup routine. Occasionally, I will boot off the clone to make sure it is working. (I have an on the spot and daily backup routines too.) You can never have enough backup! This group would be a lot more useful to others if Google would stop kissing M$ ass and archive it so others could search it. M$'s own forum is so useless that it is almost not worth the time to post to it. |
