Why CCleaner don't delete files in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temp\" ???

In this folder are more temporary files by Microsoft .NET Framework after updates

Mine are dated even older from September 2008, and older yet April 2007. Although that whole Local Settings folder is only storing 13.6 KB (13,975 bytes) on my system.

Some nice digging you did to find it though. ;)

I have the .NET Framework with all updates and my C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temp is empty.

Did you update using Windows Update, Microsoft Update or other means?

I suspect the entries in the folder result from the method of updating, and that CCleaner does not clean that folder because it's not intended to be a network administration tool.

This is probably the same reason Newsid backup is not cleaned.
