Ccleaner has "windows explorer - Thumbnail Cache" not being deleted. How to fix ?

[johnblack663]

After clicking
Analyze
Runcleaner
I get

windows explorer - Thumbnail Cache 7kb 2 files

Utilities - AntiVir Desktop

Mssearch (Something more)

These 3.

It's first only 1 but then if I keep on clicking I get more.

 

And how do I update ccleaner ? Like antivirus there are updates for free ones.

Or are there no updates ? only paying for upgrades ?

And how do I update ccleaner ?

 

Free users have to manually download new versions, and then just install over the pre-existing version. Keep an eye on the Announcements forum area to see when new versions are released which has been historically once per month.

 

The download is available at http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

 

However, if you want the Portable or Slim builds you'd go here instead:

v5.13.5460 (65-bit)

I think I already have the latest version right ?

It worked perfectly till few hours ago. I installed this about 2 weeks ago.

Very strange. I didn't download or install anything new or change something.

Any clue anybody ?

What operating system do you use?

 

Have you rebooted?

 

Have you updated and scanned with your security software?

You are upgraded something?

Windows 8.1

Now it deletes it but if I repeat analyze it will show

these

windows explorer - Thumbnail Cache 7kb 2 files
Utilities - AntiVir Desktop
Mssearch (Something more)

randomly.

 

I do update and scan virus and spyware very often.

It's happening again. The thumbnail cache won't go away.

Analyze and it appeared. Run cleaner and it's still there.

I analyze and run cleaner again and again and turn it off and turn it on repeat. just won't go away.

 

No solution for this ?

What is this thumbnail cache anyways ? What history is left  and not deleted ?

[hazelnut]

If you use Windows Disk Cleanup and tick and clean the thumbnail cache from there does that work?

 

It sounds as though something you use is recreating them.
