CCleaner v2.25.1025 Analyze is slow

[Andavari]

I'm not reporting this as a bug but more of a rare oddity since it's not a functionality issue but a speed one.

 

When running Analyze in the Cleaner section it's very slow verging on absurd and it spends perhaps upwards of 1 or 2 full minutes now with the newest update to v2.25.1025.

 

However the Run Cleaner button is functioning at normal speed.

My analysis moves very fast. Have you tried... Unchecking the items and running the Analyze, re-checking one item at a time until you find the one(s) casuing the performance issue?

"?Improved support for wildcards and RECURSE/REMOVESELF"

 

This is now working as supposed so if you have something like this:

 

FileKey1=%userprofile%|*.rmbak|RECURSE

 

it will recursively scan all sub folders under "%userprofile%"

 

Be careful with the RECURSE and REMOVESELF.

 

If I were you I would make sure that RECURSE is only used with a folder that doesn't have lots of sub folders.

 

This is a sample of a bad usage of RECURSE: (it does bring my scanning to a crawl)

Edit: Removed previous thoughts.

 

It could be recurse on my system too. That above entry that's posted is very old though and since it's in winapp2.ini it's an unofficial cleaner. You can always edit out cleaners in winapp2.ini that you don't need.
