I have XP, IE6, and delete temp and cookie files regularly, but have never come anywhere near 85MB. Is this program for real and is it safe?

I've removed over a gigabyte (1024 MB+) before, on several occasions. 85 is pretty low, actually

Most of that is coming from your TEMP folder, most likely. (Start, Run..., %TEMP%)

CCleaner detects nothing but temporary/junk files and most-recently-used lists.

It's for real, the Analyze isn't 100% accurate, so it may be alittle bit less or more. You would be surprised what I have seen CCleaner clean. It cleaned over 200MB on my friends computer. It's not just Windows tab, it's also Applications tab too. Do you have winapp2.ini? If not get it here. I bet it would even clean more.

BTW, welcome to the CCleaner Forums. I am the Moderator and if you have any questions. Don't be afaird to ask. I am here to help!

The first time I ran it on my computer (a 2 month old install) it was around 650MB.

The first time I ran it on my GF's computer (a 3 year old install) it was around 550MB.

A friend knows noyhing about cleaning. It took CCleaner almost 5 min to scan his 2-years full of junk puter to remove over 2.3Gb of junks.
