[Index.dat not deleted]

CCleaner deletes the index.dat file but Windows will recreate them.

They will however not contain any previous IE usage tracks.

Hi,

 

the problem with the index.dat files is that the size and its content is the same as before the pc reboots.

If you can post the location of the index.dat files then I'll look into it

Hi,

 

i know that there are other tools to clear the index.dat files. I've tested some of them, for e.g. IE Privacy Keeper, but i like CCleaner.

 

The position of the index.dat is

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\brainbug\Lokale Einstellungen\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat

The cleared files are recreated on reboot.  Each has a default minimum file size (multiple of 16 KB) even if empty.

Hi Glenn,

 

thanks for this answer.

Example:

The size of my index.dat is 5mb before CCleaner ist running.

The Analyse didn't find any index.dat.

The size after cleaning with CCleaner is also 5mb.

 

I think the problem is, that CCleaner didn't find any of the index.dat files.

 

I'm using XP pro SP2...
