  1. Hi again Hazelnut Sorry i was being lazy, i checked out the settings and I've found in the settings "delete invocations" which I've applied and this does as you have said. It empties the sandbox on closure, so i'll stick with this for now. Thanks for your help, its a shame i can't get CC to do it. Incidentally there is a sandbox option in the applications list under utilities which i have ticked and can confirm it doesn't do anything. I think the CC program writers/owners should have a look at that as its a complete waste of time having the program listed in CC when it doesn't clean it. regards R
  2. Hi again Hazelnut So you use sanboxie? How did you set it up to do that? I can empty the sandbox as usual by right clicking the sandbox in the taskbar then defaultBox then empty. But are you saying when you close the sandboxed browser it empties automatically? obviously i'd like to let CC do the work but if i can set sandboxie up as above in the meantime that would be useful. Regards
  3. Hi again Hazelnut I've been testing and CC does see the sandboxie default box and cleans the regHive but leaves the drive folder and the user folder. This isn't much help as the drive and user folders retain all the PC and web activity. Before my PC crash i had it set up exactly as i do now and CC would clear the sandboxie sandbox completely, i mean it would be empty. Any ideas Regards
  4. Hi Hazelnut No the default box doesn't empty nor has it ever, it's not set up that way.... Do you have ''Automatically delete contents of sandbox'' in delete settings for the Default Sandbox? No i don't, I've never set it up that way. I've always preferred to let CC clean everything.... I've uninstalled both CC and Sanboxie 5.18 completely with Revo uninstaller and reinstalled both. I've added the sandboxie default box to CC and it still won't empty Any ideas Regards
  5. Hi i've added it to the include list under the options by clicking the prompts in "add". Nergal, there is no windows tab under advanced. Theres Windows event logs and Windows size/location cache. I've put a couple of word docs in a test folder on my desktop and then added that to the list and it works fine. i.e. i run CC and the test folder on the desktop gets emptied. Help, any other ideas Regards
  6. Hi all recently i had to reset win10. As you know i could keep all my files but had to reinstall all programs/apps. Since installing CC v5.30 it will not empty my default sandbox. When i install sandboxie i keep it as standard and don't add any sandboxies. I add it as C:\Sandbox\*,* and to make sure i also add C:\Sandbox\The_boss\*,* and the full pointer of C:\Sandbox\The_boss\DefaultBox\*,* I've checked and the box is not emptied, any ideas I'm pulling my hair out here as there is no other permutation to add it as Please help regards...
  7. Thanks for the reply, i supose it makes sense. I think I'll just have to be patient and see if it gets fixed in the next release. In the meantime I can manually clear my history from the settings if I feel a need to...
  8. Morning, I don't mean to sound pushy but does anyone have any explanation for my problem......................
  9. Hi, i've posted a query about the edge browser. Edge seems to be suffering the same problems ???
  10. Afternoon all, I've just started on a new PC with windows 10. I've been using CC for at least the last 10 years without any major problems but I've just been experimenting cleaning the edge browser and find that with all options ticked my recent history appears as I type. CC does appear to clean the history, as when I Ctrl+H the only history that shows is from the current browsing session. But when I type a new search in the search bar all my past searches start to populate?? Am I missing something or is there a problem cleaning edge. Any help would be most appreciated, thanks... ​
  11. Isn't it it dangerous to have the secure write feature on the mac version as most macs now have SSDs
  12. Hi, as more and more people start using or building a computer with a SSD over a HDD would it be possible to make CC more friendly towards a SSD. I am going to buy a new PC with a SSD and am worried about the wear or damage CC could do to it. Apple are moving over to SSDs and most PC manufactures now offer a SSD option so surely it makes sense to cover the SSD option, thanks...

    CC on a SSD

    Thanks for that quick reply, ( very useful info there ) i think as more and more people move over to a SSD the makers of CC should perhaps add a button on the program to enable settings for a SSD, as in the system and advanced cleaning panels there are places that do not need cleaning.

    CC on a SSD

    Hi all I am currently in the process of renewing my PC and thinking of using a SSD over a HDD. Would it still be OK to use CC to clear all temp files and visited sites etc. I understand that no overwriting is necessary or in fact desired due to wear etc. I have used CC for years and would like to carry on using it on my new PC with a SSD, any info would be great, thanks...
  15. Thanks for your quick reply Nergal, i have located it in my winapp2 and deleted it. I can't see any point in having it in winapp2 if CC has it in the program, thanks again.
  16. Hi all the latest version of CC 2.36 now lists Malwarebytes Anti Malware twice. Once as Malwarebytes' Anti Malware and again as Malwarebytes Anti Malware. Please could you remove one of these, as far as i can tell this is not a winapp2 entry, thanks.
  17. Morning all and especially Mr T i can confirm that there is no bug regarding the include etc, you were right Mr T it would appear that from 2.29 on wards you have to also go to edit and tick recurse subfolders. It was my mistake as this is now a new requirement in 2,29 to get it to work. Thank you for pointing this out as i would never have worked it out myself. Oh well as they say "every days a school day" and thanks again for your help Regards Richard...
  18. Hi Mr T I have a few downloads going at the mo, when these are finished i will play around a bit and see if this the case. I will reinstall 2.29. Is this a new screen as when you attempt to edit the file path in 2.28 you don't get the pic you have posted Regards Richard.
  19. Yep just reverted back to V2.28 and all works OK, it appears that there is a problem with this release.
  20. Hi all i wonder if anyone else is experiencing this. When i clean now, CC does not pick up my included folder. I always browse with sandboxie. But i installed 2.29 today and the folder is still listed (in fact i re-entered it) C:\sandbox\*******\*.* but it does not get cleaned anymore. It has worked flawlessly for about 2 years through each update of CC with sandboxie.. Anyone else having this trouble Regards Richard...
  21. Hi frankeveryday If you want to clear the MFT alone you could use eraser which is built for this very purpose in mind. As mentioned before many times CC does a first class job of what its ment to do. But to wipe free space or clear the MFT or even just the cluster tip area eraser does a very good job. Hope this helps...
  22. Hi tornado in reply to your question the answer is absolutely NO. You have lost the point of what CC does. CC is designed to clear all the useless junk from your PC and it does a very good job of doing it. On the other hand eraser is designed to serurely erase files/data for good and this too does a very good job of doing it. I would recomend using version 5.7 and no higher as Joel took over the project from the next version onwards Hope this info helps you Regards.
  23. Good grief man, if your logged in via your works LAN all your on line activities will be logged and no matter what cleaning you do will not make any difference at all as the damage will already be done. Stick to what hazelnut says and don't use your works PC
  24. Very good points Augeas. But one of the most important ones is, how long does "wipe free space" take using CC. I have used eraser for years for files and folders and every 2-3 months for the free space. My 300G takes about 7 hours at 1 pass. The good thing about eraser is that you can right click and target any folder/file immediately. For the time being i will stick to using eraser for free space cleaning.
  25. Bose, I'll say this one more time. Download and install eraser 5.7. Check there info and follow the necessary precautions I.E. system restore off, do not defrag before using etc, then run "erase unused space" use 1 pass only as 300Gig takes about 7 hours. Once completed you will see no more file names. Post back and let us know how you get on. Regards Richard...
