It is safe to delete.

If you mean trying to find things like two lines that are the same in a text file then no; the Duplicate Finder is not designed to do that.
It's meant to find two or more files that are the same but may have different names or/and are in different locations (file copies).
If you are looking for duplications within one file then you need a different tool for that.

Are you trying to run CCleaner as a Stardard user? (ie. not an administrator).
There is a known permissions issue, which is being looked at to fix.
For now though we have a workround that installs CCleaner so that a standard user can open it as normal, see this:
If however you are a Windows administrator account and CCleaner still isn't opening then please tell us which antivirus you are using.
-
Thanks for reporting this.
There have been previous reports of some permission issues when running, or trying to run, CCleaner 6x versions as a standard user.
The devs have been working to fix it but it looks like it's not quite been addressed yet.We do have a workround that has worked for others.
When installing CCleaner if you run it as the last step of the install then it will/should work as normal for a Standard user.
It doesn't matter if you are an admin or a standard user when installing, just run it the first time from within the installer.
Make sure this is ticked and click 'Finish'. CCleaner will open - you can close it straight away without running anything, or do a clean, your choice.
A non-admin user should then have the proper permissions when they run it as normal.

It often happens following a CCleaner update that the antivirus takes a while to recognise the new version.
Some AVs are more prone to it than others, depending on the lists and algorithms that each one uses and how often they update their definitions.
Give it time for the AV to update for the CCleaner update.
PS. As it's different for you on 2 different computers then I'd guess the AV had updated on the Win11 machine but not on Win10 one yet.

Unfortunately, the only way I found to fix the issue is to reinstall Windows ......
Before doing a full reinstall of Windows there are a couple of things to try:
First you can run the (now hidden) Windows 'Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter'.
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/hardware-and-devices-troubleshooter-missing-in-windows-10OR- you can re-install just the Bluetooth Device rather than all of Windows:
- Open Device Manager and go to the Bluetooth section. (If you can't see Bluetooth then click 'View' > 'Show hidden devices').
- Right-click on the Bluetooth device and select 'Uninstall Device'.
- Close Device Manager and "Restart" (not shutdown) your computer.
- During the Restart Windows will/should detect that there has been a hardware change and reinstall the Bluetooth Device and driver.
There are a few other things that you can try here:
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/bluetooth-is-missing-or-not-showing-in-device-managerIf you do decide/need to do a full reinstall of Windows then you should do an 'In-place upgrade' selecting the opton to keep your previous files and apps:

I can confirmed the older CCleaner did clear that list in the past.
Will this case be brought to the CCleaner Developers to address it in the next release?
They will/should be aware already of any changes recently made to Chrome's 'most visited websites' list. (or any other changes).
But just in case, - @Dave CCleaner can you confirm that, or add anything?
-
Thanks.
So with everything ticked for Google Chrome CCleaner still isn't cleaning that 'most visited' list.
As you tried an older CCleaner version and say that didn't clean that list either then it suggests to me that Google may have changed something, and the CCleaner Developers haven't caught up with the change yet.
(or perhaps that CCleaner didn't clear that list in the past anyway?)It does happen now and again with browsers, both Chrome and Firefox will often change where information is stored with no warning.
So the CCleaner Devs are then one step behind and need to catch up for the the next CCleaner version.
They are usually pretty good at that, but if the change in the browser comes just after a CCleaner version has been released then it's going to be about a month until the next one. -
Again - that is a list of websites that you have visited frequently.
It's a list of websites visited, it is not a list of cookies.
Because it has nothing to do with cookies then Cleaning cookies with CCleaner, (or in Chrome itself), or changing cookie settings in Chrome, will not affect it at all.
You say that CCleaner used to clear that particular list for you previously, fair enough so we need to work out what has now changed for you.
It could be something that you have changed yourself, or something that Chrome has changed. (Or something that CCleaner has changed).
Could you screenshot your Custom Clean ticks/unticks for Chrome please, so that we can see what you have set to be cleaned.
-
Whilst it always possible that there may have been a change in Chrome again......
Your screenshot is not showing any cookies.
That is a list that Chrome keeps of your most frequently visited sites, it's not cookies at all. - Clearing cookies won't affect that list.
https://aboutdevice.com/how-to-check-your-most-visited-sites-on-chrome/Chrome keeps that list so it can display shortcuts on it's Startup Tab to the sites you visit the most.
I'm not familiar with clearing the various list that Chrome makes but I'd try using Custom Clean to clear the 'Session' for Chrome and see if that removes the list.
NOTE - Clearing the Session for a browser will log you out of any webpages that you are currently logged into on that browser. -
Sometimes the older version of a driver may be the one best suited to your particular hardware.
eg, A newer version may have been tweaked for a different processor, or different graphics card, etc., and the changes made may not quite suit what is in your machine.(Maybe think of it a bit like unleaded petrol/gasoline - great for modern motors, but will cause problems if you put it in an older one).
(That's not a very good analogy but you get the idea).How you are supposed to know which driver version is best for your machine appears to be a black art, or at least I've never understood it.
And that's probably why all Driver Updaters are widely regarded as 'risky', they will occasionally make mistakes and give unsuitable drivers.
Even Windows Update can sometimes give you a wrong driver.Just how CCleaners updater handles that I haven't got a clue, but as with most such updaters there will be mistakes.
There seems to be fewer now than when it first came out, but I for one will not be using it.TBH I rarely have a problem with any driver and tend to just leave them alone.
-
The speech runtime toast notifier could be deleted from the registry - but Windows would just put it straight back again.
It's one of those things with Windows. I believe that the notifer is an integral part of Cortana, (and possibly even used by Edge?)
Just right-click on it and make it an Exclude in CCleaner then it won't bug you anymore.
-
These options:
-
My personal opinion, all driver updaters have the same problems.
Most advanced/techie computer users don't touch them, it's a simple basis of if your current driver is working then why try to fix what isn't broken?
Quite a few of us were surprised when CCleaner introduced a driver updater.Sometimes a 'newer' driver will not suit your particular machine hardware, and may even stop it working properly.
(You only have to read some of the posts in this Driver Updater sub-forum to see what can happen). -
Yes the "Do not show this message again" does exactly what it says and will never show it again.
An uninstall/reinstall will bring it back - until you click ignore again,
-
Some CCleaner versions are just slow to load, I've never been able to work out just why that happens with some versions but not others?
-
In that case it sounds like it's being blocked at your end - I would check your AV, firewalls, hosts file etc. to see what may be blocking the connection.
-
As it's only one of the two servers (speed and security) that Pro accesses in Health Check then it could well be an issue at that one server,
If it's at the server end then nothing you can do will change that.
Give it a few hours and try again, if it still won't connect then it could be your antivirus or firewall that is blocking that particular connection.

The easiest way is to download the installer from here:
https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds
Double clicking the downloaded installer will install the Free version of CCleaner, open it and go to Options>Licence Key, and input your licence key as asked.
-
It was just a stab, there is a know problem if you use Avira and any cleaning app.
-
Thanks,
So you just want the files that were saved on the old hard drives.
A recovery tool is not the tool to use for that - unless the files you are looking for had been deleted.
Have/had you tried simply copying the files from the old drives?
You will probably need to take the drives out and put them in an external enclosure, or use a connecting lead if you have one.
You may need more than one enclosure/leads depending on the age of the PC/drive - Older drives will have IDE connections, newer drives will have SATA connections.
Then you just plug it into a USB port and Windows 8/10/11 will read what is on the drive so you can copy it elsewhere if you want to.
By using a recovery tool you are searching for everything that has ever been saved to the drive and then later deleted. That can be thousands or millions of previous files, most of which will not be recoverable anyway because they have been overwritten by later files.
-
Are you by any chance using Avira antivirus?
-
Paying for Pro does not change what the recovery does.
But having to recover lost files from 4 different PC's seems somewhat unusual.
Could you explain what it is that you are attempting to do? ie. why 4 machines.
-
It is known about and on the list to be fixed, but I'm not sure if it has been fixed yet.
As said it doesn't really matter, despite the warning CCleaner still gets installed/updated.
It's just a small annoyance and means you just have to close the message when it happens, unfortunately not everyone knows that and can be concerned at getting the message.Just close the warning if you get it and carry on with your day.
CCleaner 6.06 new cleaning option "Windows Web Cache"
in CCleaner

That's fair enough.
Custom Clean allows you to choose whether you want something to be cleaned or not.
The defaults are simply based on what the developers believe most people would want clearing out.
Of course 'make certain aspects of browsing the internet faster for you' doesn't tell you much on it's own.
For example some cookies will make internet browsing quicker - but most people choose not to keep them.
I've looked into it a bit further and found:
So that seems harmless enough.
However the files do build up over time and Windows, even Disk Clean-up, does not remove them.
Although each file is only a couple of KB by itself eventually you may end up with MB or even GB of old files in there if you don't clear them at least occasionally.
