i just downloaded/used CCleaner for the first time.

i clicked OPTIONS>cookies>run cleaner.

is there any way that i can find out what was deleted ? yes, i realize that i omitted the "cookies to keep" portion - it won't happen again.

thank you.

Sorry no, CCleaner does not produce a list of these.

Welcome to the forum by the way :)

Poster could try and use recuva and do a filter of %USERNAME%@ where %username% is their username on said computer
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.

If you click Analyze then right click in the list produced then you can save it as a text file to review what will be deleted.
