    Which should not be so hard. Ninja does not do anything special, many programs do most of what Nnija does, for free. And they want almost 15USD for what they do. It is just overpriced.

    Hey Shane,
    Any chance to add an option to save specific cookies during clean up?

    Thank You!

    Yes! Three ways.

    1. double click on an item in the scan summery list to pull up what it found for that one. Such as the ones that have cookies.
    2. Right lick on the summery list and choose view all.

    On either one of those you can now see the cookies that where found, select the ones you want to exclude, you can select multiple at once. Then right click on them and add it to the exclude list.

    3. Under settings you can control the exclusion list for cookies, add remove and such. Even export and import them via a txt file.

    Hi,

    Just installed SirCleaner. Is there a list of recommendations of what to include / exclude?

    Maybe some options could be selected by default.

    Great to see you back here, Shane.

    I haven't been able what to have set as the default. Because it will show only the ones that it sees on the system, that way the tree view is loaded with over 2300 things lol.

    Honestly when I use it on customers computers (I also own and run a computer repair business) I just right click on the tree view, click on check everything and go with it lol

    Fair enough. Thanks for your reply. I've had no problems so far. First clean removed 4.5 GB! :thumb:

    Cheers.

    Decided to get the pro version. Nice discount using the wilders code.

    Thanks.

    Thanks everyone. As I'm currently working on the new feature of having the program show what it couldn't delete and why I'm finding out a few things.

    First off I had to remove a lot of cleaning options from the windows security cleaner in the list because how tightened down the av is there is no way to remove the files, it even blocks the api call to delete them at boot with an Access denied error.
    I am going to test if I can add them to the registry without the api and see if that works.

    I did find though that if you boot into safe mode those files delete like normal with no problem. So not sure what to do with this information yet.

    I'm hoping to have the mew feature out soon, just need to test it like crazy.

    Will be the first cleaner I'm aware of that is actually honest on what files it cant delete and offers a delete at reboot option.

    I tested another cleaner on cleaning the windows security, found every file mine does, but I found it lies about actually removing them (because they cant actually be removed and my program still finds them), and if you scan again with that cleaner it will say they are gone when they aren't. Sneaky heads! What cleaner am I talking about? Lets just say it wouldn't be "wise" to say other cleaner names lol

    Got Pro as well...
    Ther's a lot of 'fluff' out there, so the price was very reasonable, for what this cleaner does. The speed is remarkably amazing! Thank you, Shane!

    I am a new SirCleaner Pro convert as well. You know I had my doubts, but with the first-year Pro discount that Shane offered Wilders users, I thought what could I lose . . . ?

    I have to say that SirCleaner blows the doors off of previous junk file cleaners that I have used. I have exchanged emails with Shane about my impressions. He has been very responsive. In particular, a detailed Help file is a necessary addition because of the many options offered by SirCleaner to customize what is cleaned.

    These are early days. I am confident that Shane will make this the "go-to" junk file cleaner app. Great work, @SirShane ! Kudos.

    Just my two cents. Have a great day.

    Regards,
    Phil

    Hi Shane, what do you use for deletion method ?
    Such as all zeros, 1 or 2 passes.
    Couldn't find a setting for this.

    Hello Shane,
    Windows 'Disk Cleaner' has an optional box that can be enabled... Specifically: 'Windows Update Cleanup'.

    SirCleaner App has a similar option: 'Windows Update'. After running SirCleaner with this option enabled, it should pretty much clear most of it. However, if I try running Windows Disk Cleaner right after.... it still indicates that there are several Gigabytes of leftover data that's left from previous Windows updates.

    Any thoughts? Thank you.

    I noticed the same thing yesterday after installing the Win10 Preview update.

    The program just deletes the file it doesnt overwrite it. As for right now it doesn't have privacy options like that but something I'm looking into.

    As for windows updates, mine deletes the left over files from the windows updates download location, the windows update cleanup in the clean manger in windows cleans up old updates that are no longer needed, helps clean up the winsxs folder I believe. So both do very different things.
