Please change [AVG PC TuneUp & Utilities *] to [AVG PC TuneUp *].

I think [AVG PC TuneUp & Utilities Reg Defrag Cleanup *] should be merged into this entry.

Then why make a separate entry?  Just leave them in [Windows Logs *] and state that every time a person runs CCleaner, the system should be rebooted.  I would like to know what entries in CCleaner (unless you are referring the Advanced category) and Winapp2.ini require a system reboot because I am totally unaware of that requirement on certain entries.

There is no need to wipe WDI logs each time CCleaner is used. By having a separate entry, we can leave it unchecked and use it when needed.

Isn’t Detect2 enough?

I don't know about earlier versions of PC TuneUp which may need it.

I think it's fruitless to separate this entry without also including a warning that informs the user of the restart requirement

It is fine to have a warning, but I suggest to have a separate entry for WDI diagnostic and startup logs..

Hello, new user so sorry if been asked before: I switched from Chrome to Chrome Beta, simply copying the old user profile over in appdata. It seems that CCleaner doesn't recognize Chrome Beta. Can I use winapp2.ini to make Chrome Beta "look like" the normal Chrome to CCleaner? (e.g. replacing each entry or something?)

Can you add a category especially for Chrome Beta in winapp2.ini?

Thanks

Modified Entry:  [Corel Downloads *]

Changed REMOVESELF to RECURSE because of the volatility of the DetectFile which can cause downloaded files between TRIMS to be left on the system.

[Corel Downloads *]
LangSecRef=3021
DetectFile=%CommonAppData%\Corel\Downloads
Default=False
FileKey1=%CommonAppData%\Corel\Downloads|*.*|RECURSE

Also, did you decide not to change the name of [AVG PC TuneUp & Utilities *] to [AVG PC Tuneup *] or is it just an oversight in the last Update?

Yes, that worked perfectly! Added the line in ccleaner.ini and it made it look like normal Chrome. Thanks!

Yes it was an oversight. Should be called that now.

I am a maintainer for Winapp2. I also have a open-source group on Steam.

I suggest removing the [Adobe Media Cache *] entry. If someone starts a project in Premiere Elements or Premiere Pro, save an unfinished project and if this cache is removed, the project will break. I use this when I complete the project, but a person might not know about it and remove this cache while the project is not yet completed. So I think it is dangerous.

CyberLink entries have same media cache removal. I’ll install CyberLink trial programs and will test them by removing the cache files the same way I did with Adobe Media Cache files.

Is the Media Cache worth cleaning at all?

No, it is too dangerous like I said in my previous post. There are options in Adobe programs to remove these files manually.

I have tested some other privacy cleaners and they all remove container.dat file from %LocalAppData%\Packages\*\AC\INetCache\

I think we should remove ExcludeKeys for this from all the Windows Store apps.

It seems that just a few apps need the ExcludeKey. But you wanted that we add the ExcludeKey to all Windows Store entries!

Now you changed your mind again... :(

Those apps need the ExcludeKey: Bing Weather, HuluPlus, Netflix (and maybe other?)

You’re wrong, I have not said that in that post.

I have not changed my mind on not deleting container.dat from %LocalAppData%\Packages\appname_*\AC\TokenBroker\Cache

There is a difference between %LocalAppData%\Packages\appname_*\AC\TokenBroker\Cache and %LocalAppData%\Packages\*\AC\INetCache

As I mentioned in my last post, other programs delete these container.dat files from %LocalAppData%\Packages\*\AC\INetCache. I tested that and there is no harm in deleting these files. I did not know much about these files at that time. When I saw that deleting these files from %LocalAppData%\Packages\appname_*\AC\TokenBroker\Cache was causing issues, I thought all those files should be excluded.

In Windows 8/10, TokenBroker/Cache is being used to store login infos, so this should be removed from all the Windows 8/10 related entries. There was a similar issue with the [Security Service Token Cache *] entry, where Windows Insider Program account login info were being removed.

Did you read your old post?!

A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS:

This exclude key should be added into each Windows Store app entry.
ExcludeKey1=FILE|%LocalAppData%\Packages\appname_*\AC\INetCache\|container.dat

...

You clearly talked about "%LocalAppData%\Packages\*\AC\INetCache"!

IMHO it's not a good idea to recommend something if you don't know why... But let's forget the topic.

BTW, I checked the container.dat files on my system. They all are empty and have 0 KB. And they get recreated after deletion. It seems there's no reason for deleting them.
