    Time to switch to Wise Registry Cleaner. CCleaner has become a full fledged bloatware suite!

    I just don't like the latest version of CCleaner, so I got rid of it an hour ago. I'm currently giving the portable version of Wise Disk Cleaner a try. I do like what I have seen so far.:)

    You can do this w/Background Apps and turning them off in the Settings App. The Windows ones at least. I wouldn't want anything even potentially messing with my security apps. :cautious: Is CC smart enough to see the differences?

    Luckily I don't have this crap, excuse me, "feature" in my v. 5.92.9652.

    Just the basic settings, that's sufficient.

    Here's an interesting one for you, I have the portable version of the latest CCleaner. I deleted the following files:

    CCleanerDU.dll
    CCleanerPerformanceOptimizer.dll
    CCleanerPerformanceOptimizerService.exe
    CCleanerReactivator.dll
    CCleanerReactivator.exe


    I then launched CCleaner again and the entire drivers update tab disappeared! Less bloat :D

    I also had the portable version of the latest CCleaner. I deleted the following app:

    CCleaner Portable

    I then launched Wise Disk Cleaner X! Less bloat :D

    It seems to me that CCleaner cleans up better (example. the temporary files of chrome-based browsers' metrics) and with some settings unchecked by default (the preview caches), if the user doesn't want to delete something that could be useful to keep instead.
    Obviously a good setting eliminates these inconveniences but not all are able to do it.
    But that's just my humble opinion.
    The others follow their own way.:thumb::)

    I see that Metrics Temp Files are cleaned in Chrome and Edge Chrome by default. Could this cause any problems.

    Can you explain why?
    Th.

    P.S.

    If it were possible I would disable BrowserMetric,but that is no longer possible:

    So daily cleaning is welcome.

    CCleaner cleans Metrics Temp Files.
