I've been following this discussion because I had the same problem as SF Bev: I wanted to get CCleaner back to its default settings.
I'm not very experienced and therefore had some trouble with the suggestions here. I ended up uninstalling the program, reinstalling it, and immediately taking note of the defaults, as follows.
CCleaner, v 2.19.900
