Winapp2.ini Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I was looking into the steam cache entry but didn't have enough time to vet it properly. The depot cache seems to have manifests for game updates (similar to .torrent files but for steam) and im unsure what effect deleting them will have winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMalik Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I don't get that "Common" folder, and I've used Inno Setup for years. The program installers that use older versions of Inno Setup create a useless folder and sub folder at that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted March 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm also unsure how wise it is to remove the windows help +3 ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators mta Posted March 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 28, 2014 removing the files in \windows\help should be OK, you'll just get an error when trying to view a help file. but the folder itself should not be removed. Plus mine is only 43meg with 42 of that being nvidia help files - not a big saving. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Andavari Posted March 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 28, 2014 I wouldn't remove Windows Help on my machine. However I do realize I'd have far better success finding real help with an answer using a search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCKNROLL Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 There is no reason to be judgmental. SMalik did a very good job at finding more system files that are useless.

Winapp2.ini Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 The interesting bit is that CCleaner corrects internally for programfiles vs programfiles(x86) (as we learned 3½ years ago in this thread)..
