belinda frisch Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 hi folks, just updated to CCleaner v1.39.502. now files with the size of 0 bytes don't get deleted anymore (e.g. 0 byte files in the temp folder, or in any custom folders i set). v1.38.485 had no problem to delete those files so i stepped back to this. any explanation or workaround for v1.39.502 to get all files deleted? thanks in advance belinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted April 25, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 25, 2007 Version 1.39 still deletes 0 byte files on my system, I just tested it with six of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDPower Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I have also had this issue with the new version - would not delete 0byte files in content.IE5 as reported HERE. I have tried the previous version and it did delete the 0byte files so definitely something not quite right with the new versions handling of some 0 byte files. Belinda, do you have secure deletion enabled? If so try cleaning without secure delete enabled to see if those 0 byte files are deleted and let us know what happened. The secure deletion method was changed in this version, perhaps that could be the problem (I can't check this now as using the old version removed the files that the current version was missing).

JDPower Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ok, I have just recreated this issue and can confirm it is the secure deletion that is causing this issue. 0 byte files are not removed with secure deletion enabled but ARE removed if secure deletion is turned off. Hopefully this can be fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteshark Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Version 1.39 still deletes 0 byte files on my system, I just tested it with six of them. Same here. All the crap is detected and cleaned as usual, except index.dat files. Not solved neither installing the previous version @JDPower I don't use secure deletion Guide in italiano per CCleaner - Recuva - Defraggler - Speccy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted April 25, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 25, 2007 I don't use secure deletion either, which is probably why we haven't noticed the bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belinda frisch Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 same problem here, only secure file deletion is bugged with 0 byte files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarq57 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Same problem here, in addition the message "CCleaner has encountered a problem and needs to close.." etc always appears, with any secure delete mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteshark Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Confirmed on my PC too. Using secure deletion the zero-byte files aren't deleted. IMO would be nice add at this forum a pinned topic showing all the "known bugs".
