Repeated reporting of Internet Explorer files cleaned...


Recommended Posts

Although I have Internet Explorer 'disabled' (I only use Edge) I'm now seeing a summary of cleaned Internet Explorer files, always the same file path and always the same size. (screenshot attached).

 

Previously, I've always seen that all files have been securely cleaned - is this a glitch in the latest version, please?

when you double click on that IE entry, what is the file it always finds?

It's Windows 10, as soon as you clean some stuff with CCleaner it will almost immediately be re-downloaded.

 

One thing I found is to go into Settings, and start turning Off allot of the Privacy settings which are all On by default - doing that alone helps stop allot of the stuff being added back in after cleaning.

and to help turn off almost all of Win10's 'phone home' settings, a program called ShutUp10 provides access to all those settings from one location.
