  1. Hi chaps. It's a long time since I made a post on this forum, but I feel so heartily sorry for your predicament, that I thought I'd mention what I think is possibly the only chance you have of getting anything back. And that is do any of you use a Micro SD Card in your phone for expanded storage? None of you have mentioned that in your posts. If you do, take it out, insert it into a USB adapter such as THIS, and into your computer, and with any luck it may still be given a drive letter. Then you can scan it with something like Recuva, or if the file system is really messed up then try PhotoRec. A slightly intimidating program but free and very powerful. They have a help forum HERE, and there's been many posts in the past on here on it's use. The SD Card option is all I've got guys, and I sincerely hope it may be of some help. :)
  2. Just gone midnight in the UK, but still Christmas day your side of the pond, so merry Christmas squire. Hope you and yours have a super day, and stay safe.
  3. Yep, I still use good old Sandboxie. And the last available version of Slimjet, which I was using before finding MyPal, was very hit and miss running Sandboxed. No issues with MyPal.
  4. For anyone still using XP occasionally (or permanently), give this a try. I've been using it for quite some time, and updated to a new version quite recently. Works in here unlike Palemoon and old versions of Firefox, and have installed one or two up to date extensions which the likes of Palemoon spit out. Being kept current for XP is pretty cool. Take note of the "no automatic updates", although I've no complaints about that. Easy enough to check now and then. Mypal: Ignore the "fedora" in the address as I'm running a portable 32 bit version for windows.
  5. Only a few days left so to friends and members all ... Hope you have a wonderful Christmas, and for anyone out there having a rocky time, may the occasion lift your spirits. Best wishes.
  6. Sorry guys, I'm late but not too late. It's still Christmas day here so let me wish you all a very happy Christmas and all the very best for 2019. Here's hoping we all get what we deserve.
  7. I'll make an exception to my self imposed unwillingness to be involved with the current Piriform/Avast iteration of a once great product to say "well said"! And don't apologise, the apologies should be coming your way and the way of the ever dwindling user base.
  8. Hi there. First, I'll apologise for the late reply. My excuse being I don't frequent the forum as much as I used to and only recently noticed your post, and with any luck you may return to it. First, let me sympathise with your recent disaster and say quite plainly that in my humble opinion the blame for the loss of your valuable Whatsapp images, video and audio, should be placed quite firmly on the desk of whoever decided to have CCleaner for Android pick up these valuable files as something to be considered for deletion. Of course, just my opinion. When I first installed this latest version I had to look hard to work out what exactly CCleaner was flagging from Whatsapp. Are these items unnecessary thumbnails, or some sort of hidden cache? Because lets face it, CCleaner as a tool has always been used, from the time of it's inception, to remove crap from ones computer, and now from ones smartphone or tablet. For that reason, I can understand why you believed it to be the safe program it's always been, and went ahead and deleted what you no doubt believed to be unnecessary files. In other words "crap" to be removed by Crap Cleaner. And I'll wager you're not the only one to trust CCleaner to do what it's always done. What stopped me was simply the size of the files being flagged. Hundreds of mb just didn't ring true. A less experienced user may not have stopped to ponder what's going on here. However, my strong feelings about this don't help you get your files back. My first question is do you have Google Photos and/or Google Drive activated to back up your photos and videos? That's the obvious solution, and I'll leave it at that and wait see if you return to your topic. I will add, that I've removed this version of CCleaner from my phone and sideways installed an older version. For whatever reason, the developers have removed almost all settings from this latest version, and there isn't even an option to exclude things like your Whatsapp files. They aren't checked by default, and they shouldn't even be flagged, but they appear every time you carry out a scan. I find this sad, because this latest version looks extremely professional and polished, but the dramatic changes to it's functionality are heading down a road I'm not prepared to take.
  9. Thanks for posting required, I'll give the devs a nudge to this topic again.
  10. Thanks for posting that info pelican, and welcome to the forum. I notice from the screenies that we have two slightly different versions of IOS in the topic. I've pointed the devs here, but can't promise that they'll reply. You never know.
  11. Can you guys tell me which version of IOS you're running and I'll point the Piriform devs to your posts. They'll need at least that information to formulate any kind of reply. Thanks.
  12. Hi jmjenson and welcome to the forum. Not many Mac users on here I'm afraid, but as you have CCleaner Pro you are entitled to direct support from the Piriform development team ... https://piriform.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Other than that, one of the guys may have come across your issue before and that being the case I'm sure they'll contribute to your post. I removed your direct download link by the way, and replaced it with an image, as we're not keen on that type of link for security reasons. Nothing personal. I've also moved your topic to the "CCleaner for Mac" section.
  13. Need to lose a few lbs after the festivities. May be eating more of this ...
