Hello! :rolleyes:

It would be nice if CCleaner could remove files from the path C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files.

The files are not important and I think CCleaner don't remove them at the time.

Is that a good idea? :rolleyes:

It is a very bad idea to remove what's in that folder manually by just deleting them with a cleaning program hence it will break many web-based applications such as for example Eset Online Scanner, and even normally installed applications such as Sun Java Runtime Environment, Adobe Flash Player, etc., and leave a big mess in the Windows registry.

Applications listed in that folder should be removed via Add/Remove Programs only!
Complexity of incoherent design.
