njuserfriendly Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I keep getting an error message that I need to close Chrome in order for it to clear the cache; however, Chrome is already closed. It's not a big deal as I clean the cache when I'm browsing frequently in Chrome. I didn't see that anyone else seems to have the error, so maybe my computer just doesn't like heavy metal.

nodles Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 See if this helps: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=34801 There's probably some Chrome background process running. Which version of CCleaner are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkat40 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have the same problem even though I close Chrome. This just started happening. I am using Chrome 17.0.963.56 m, Windows XP, CCleaner v3.16.1666. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using Chrome 17.0.963.56 m, Windows XP, CCleaner v3.16.1666. Thanks. Did you check my post/link above? You might have some "unnecessary" processes running in backround after closing Chrome "normally". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkat40 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yes I did check the running processes but what am I looking for? Which one would cause the issue? Thanks again. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Look for 'chrome.exe,' 'old_chrome.exe' or processes associated with any extensions/web apps you may have installed. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Thistime Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 This solved the problem for me: When you close Chrome, dont use the x at the top right of your tab. Use Chrome's menu. Scroll to 'exit' and close the program that way. Otherwise chrome stays in memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
