I am using CCleaner version 2.03.532 on a Windows Vista operating system. When I clean my files (Analyse then Run Cleaner) I have noticed that my Cookies\index.dat files are not included. They are not cleaned.

Temporary internet files\index.dat and History\index.dat files are included in the cleaning, but not the Cookies\index.dat file.

Why is this? :blink:

Have you selected any Cookies to Keep? If you did, CCleaner won't delete index.dat, only individual cookies.

Could you please tell us the folder where you have your cookies?

I have XP so it is located under:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Cookies

Have you changed it to some other location?

Thanks!
