I have been using C-Cleaner for quite a while and love it but I do have a question. I make back-ups of any registry cleanups that I do, but is there any way to send the files that you take out with the cleaner function to the recycle bin? I spent hours trying to get my other computer with the two 500 Gig hard drives to work on a speed test site that it had been working on and finally figured out that when I ran the cleaner function, I had removed some Java files and stuff that it needed. Is there any way to send this stuff to the recycle bin so I can just restore it if something quits working? I am retired from Bell Labs and use the other computer to work with people on problems and it was a real job to finally figure out just what had happened. When I run cleaner it shows a lot of Java and Java related files that it says are not in use, but I am afraid to remove them as I don't want to spend another 2 days trying to figure out just what happened.

Thanks,

Ted

I sometimes find that runnng CCleaner whilst browser was open would stop Java applications working but was always fixed by closing and reopening my browser.

As of now CCleaner doesn't have that option, since the developer originally designed it to clean up space on a person's computer. I don't know if that is a future plan, but for now I can tell you with 99% (okay, maybe 85%) certainty that there is not a way to send them to the recycle bin.

Registry cleanups, on the other hand, are a different story -- you can easily make backups for them, and CCleaner even walks you through it.

Thanks,

I had about figured that out. Closing and opening the browser didn't work. For now I just run cleaner and then make a snap of the files and directories and remove them manually which lets me send them to the recycle bin and if everything still works then I can delete them from there. And I always make backups of any registrychanges I make wheather it be with C-Cleaner or manual editing.
