What's my risk in running CCleaner on my Macbook Pro, if I have absolutely no idea what it's deleting? I'm running OS10.6.8

Thank you. I'll run a backup beforehand, but that "minimal" word makes me feel better.

you should be able to press analysis and look at the details before a clean now in cc for MAC if I recall
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.
