Google Chrome Install and Update file accumulation


Recommended Posts

I have an older computer with a system disk of 40 GB.  It was full. I used ccCleaner but still could not get enough space.  In browsing drive files, I found that Google Chrome does not delete the old update and install files.  There were 10GB of data in the files.  I researched this and found that - yes - these files can be deleted.  My Hard Disk now has over 10 GB of free space.  almost 30% was taken up by google chrome updates.  I SUGGEST that ccCleaner add this to the cleaning application.  Would appreciate any comments.

What is their location on PC?

 

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.

What's in the code below was taken from the community winapp2.ini additions. I wonder if this is what you're needing and wanting CCleaner to do -- but I haven't a clue since I don't use Google Chrome.
