CCleaner 5.01.5075

The Company are being quietly receptive to requests for skins in future builds, so that door is not closed for those with problems with the new UI.

Interesting, I have recently started to have daily BSOD, when I think about it, it is about the same time CCleaner 5 was released. I have reinstalled and I will see.

 

People make suggestions on the CCleaner forum all the time but they mostly go ignored. Hopefully they'll do something with that dreadful new interface but I'm not holding my breath. If history is any indicator, they'll just keep making changes nobody asked for.

 

I just stopped using it and made my own batch file to clean the temp folders and Software Distribution download folder where all the Windows updates are downloaded. Done! no more CCleaner

 

Just use Bleachbit or Glary.

 

Can you please send it to me? I have tried to create it, but when I did it, it always deleted files in the folder, where the batch file was located as well.

 

On Vista, CCleaner's getting where it fails to show Thumbnail Cache on analysis. I either have to reboot or use Windows disk cleaner. This is so annoying, I think I'm gonna try Wise Cleaner for awhile and see if it does it too or if it's just CCleaner.

 

There are 2,

Temp Files Cleanup:

Cleans up the Temp folder in the C:\Windows\Temp
Cleans up the c:\users\yourusername\temp
Cleans up the Software Distribution folder where all the Windows updates are downloaded, but after they are installed, Windows doesn't delete them and they are no longer needed. Only run the file after you have rebooted if you installed Windows updates

To create the batch file, simply open a notepad, then paste the below text, then name it "Temp Files Cleanup.bat"

DEL /S /F /Q "%temp%\*" 1>nul 2>nul
DEL /S /F /Q %systemroot%\temp\* 1>nul 2>nul
DEL /S /F /Q %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download\* 1>nul 2>nul
for /f %%i in ('"dir /s /b /ad "%temp%"" 2^>nul') do RD /S /Q %%i 1>nul 2>nul
for /f %%i in ('"dir /s /b /ad %windir%\temp" 2^>nul') do RD /S /Q %%i 1>nul 2>nul
for /f %%i in ('"dir /s /b /ad %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download" 2^>nul') do RD /S /Q %%i 1>nul 2>nul


System Files Cleanup:

Cleans up all the above mentioned folder in addition to some extras like the system logs, .NET Framework temp files, etc.


To create the batch file, simply open a notepad, then paste the below text, then name it "System Cleanup.bat"

Thank you, going to play with it right now.

 

It works 100%, doesn't screw up windows indexing like cleaner and no more errors on event viewer

 

Thanks I have finally made something working, I have simplified it a little to suite my needs, I have even added cleaning my browser.

regedit.exe /s D:\S.reg
del "C:\$Recycle.bin\*" /s /f /q
del "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\*" /s /f /q
del "%temp%\*" /s /f /q
del "%systemroot%\temp\*" /s /f /q
del "%LocalAppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\*" /s /f /q
del "%LocalAppData%\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data\Default\Cache\*" /s /f /q
del "%LocalAppData%\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data\Default\GPUCache\*" /s /f /q

shutdown /s

 

If you don't like the new and fancy stuff use an older version, I still haven't updated from V4.17.4808.

 

First Look at CCleaner’s Disk Analyzer tool (by ghacks)

 

Yeah, I pretty much got fed up with v5 for more than just the puke UI.

I reverted back to 4.19.

Anyhow, that change got a firewall alert and reminded me CCleaner on startup always connects to feedly.net (maybe different elsewhere from USA).

Way back when this started, their forum reported this was to check for updates (OK if you want, of course) and to validate the Pro version.

But, I’ve never used the Pro version and I’ve always had “check for updates” disabled. Yet it still phones home. And always gets a persistent block in the fw.

Love the app, winapp2.ini, and the ability to dig in and tweak, but they went overboard with v5.0. Maybe I'll give 5.1 a shot.

Cheers.
