tkmops Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Which boxe(s) do I need to un-check from 'Windows' and/or 'Applications' in CCleaner to stop it from deleting all my Chrome browser extensions? Anyone know? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdbane Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 this problem only happened to older version of CCleaner update your CCleaner to latest version v4.16 and report back here and it is also helpful if you can state your OS and chrome version http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkmops Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks for the response. CCleaner is V4.04.4197. I tried updating it, it said I had the most current version. Chrome is Version 36.0.1985.125 m Google Chrome is up to date. Windows 7. This didn't used to happen. It just started about two months ago. I have the following boxes checked under the 'Applications'/Google Chrome' tab:internet cache, internet history, cookies, download history, last download location, and session.

tkmops Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 I just went to the CCleaner site and saw that they had ccsetup416.exe available for D/L. But, before I run it, I want to make sure that it won't delete all my Chrome extensions as before. I have 8 extensions, it takes some time to re-install them all.

tkmops Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 I just found this forum topic:Checking "Internet History" under "Chrome" when cleaning will result in all Chrome extensions and preferences being deleted at http://forum.piriform.com/?showtopic=40042 Part of the post says:'For the time being I suggest anyone having this issue should clean with "Internet History" unchecked. You can delete Chrome history manually' Is this still the case, or has 416 fixed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted July 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2014 As dvdbane stated it should no longer occur. However if you're worried, run an analysis first then, if the extensions appear, exclude the extension folder from scan (right click the item and choose exclude). ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
