Lilliput Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 For the past few months, when ever I use CCleaner, it tells me that 5MB are still there. I have attempted several times to clear the files, this message is always there. How can I resolve this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2009 Have you tried Internet Explorers own built-in cleaners, they may work. If not those files could be the cause of IE crashing at some point in the past, making those files difficult to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColTom2 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi: You did not indicate what version of IE that you have installed, but I would almost bet that it is IE8 and not IE7. If it is indeed IE8 then you will just have to live with the problem, as I had reported this problem sometime back. I got tired of waiting for a fix, as well as some other IE8 problems that were not CCleaner related, and decided just to revert back to IE7 which resolved everything. I am sure that Piriform is working on resolving it's relationship with IE8. ColTom2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right click the Internet Explorer desktop icon, and select Properties. 2. Under the General (tab) which opens by default the built-in cleaners are located in it. And as ColTom2 has noted CCleaner seems to have some issue with IE8, I noticed it took CCleaner forever just to remove the Temporary Internet Files. However I believe the issue is more the cause of IE8 since many people are having issues with it slowing down their whole system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilliput Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Thank you for your reply. Yes, I installed that new IE. That's when the trouble started. I will try to follow that instruction you mentioned. Regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend asking your questions in the public forum versus via PM's, that way anyone else with the same or similar issue can benefit from any possible solution, or something else to at least try. This is what to click in IE's settings to bring up its built-in delete tool (click the image for the full sized view): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
