Hey, guys!
Just wanted to add that I started having the same problem yesterday. When I analyze with ccleaner it says there are files to remove from chrome. When I click run cleaner, it says that they have been deleted. When I analyze it again, it shows that there are no more files to delete. But when I open chrome the history is still there.
I'm using the latest version of chrome and ccleaner. I unchecked the box that let's background apps run when the browser is closed, and I have never synced/signed in to my browser.
I appreciate all the work the developers do. I've used ccleaner for years now, it's a great app!
