I'm also interested in the answer to this question. Is it possible to keep password data and delete the other form history. In IE you can.
Kindely regards,

Both passwords and web form data is saved in the registry (binary value) under these keys..
Web forms
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage1
Logins\Passwords
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2
The problem is, if you check "Auto complete from history" it removes passwords and web forms. So I tried adding a custom entry into WinApp2.ini. Sadly though CC displays the item but dosent delete the key. Not sure if this is a bug really.
I did figure out a fix though. Have CC run a script to delete the registry key for 'forms' while leaving passwords intact.
Then in the vbs file...
I tested the above and it works. I attached the vbs file in a zip in case anyone wants it. The vbs file has to be located in the same folder as CCleaner.exe

WS.RegDelete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage1\"
Set WS = Nothing

A big THANK YOU to Disk4mat. I followed your directions and it seems to work. Thanks again!

Your welcome! This is a work around, but I still would like to see CC clean Web Form data separately from Password/Logins.
