gerardr Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hello CCLeaner finds duplicated files it works fine. But it does not delete any marked file. Steps to reproduce: 1. find duplicates 2. mark some files to delete 3. Cllck "Delete selected" and confirm deletion After that CCleaner says : "The operation has been completed. Some of the selected files were not deleted" and all of the selected files are in filesystem. It doesn't matter if I run CCleaner as Administrator. I have UAC turned off. CCleaner 5.10.5373 64Bit, Windows 7 64Bit PL Cound you help ? BR Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted October 6, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 6, 2015 so you know the filename and folder location of these duplicates, what happens if you go to one and manually try to delete it from Windows Explorer, or even a command prompt? 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.

rmundell Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I have this exact same problem. CCleaner doesnt delete any of the duplicates, but if I go to the folders and delete them individually they delete fine. also it would be nice if there were filters so a large number could be deleted at once, because I have many thousands of duplicates.

O1dman Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Same here. CCleaner will find all the dupes, but will not delete the ones I select Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen CCleaner Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hey guys, thanks for reporting. Please can you provide some examples of the filenames and corresponding file paths where this is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O1dman Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 For me, the majority were photos (jpg, tif, cr2,etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timethrow Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I too am having similar issues. I can delete them fine from Windows Explorer without a problem, I have checked the File Name and Path and there are no unusual characters, its not too long or anything like that. Tried renaming files and folder, but this did not solve, even moved them to a different physical disk but no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen CCleaner Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Is your D: drive an SSD? Do you have the 'Secure Deletion setting enabled in Options > Settings? 3 minutes ago, timethrow said: Here are some from me, I have a whole text file with several hundred.

Do you have the 'Secure Deletion setting enabled in Options > Settings? Nope its not an SSD, Yes its is enabled and is set to Complex Overwrite (7 Passes), the other two checkboxes are not selected. EDIT: Also tried turning it off and using the standard one, that did not work. (Just in case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 23, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 23, 2018 Is there any anti-virus/anti-malware that's been configured to pro-actively protect those folder locations? Remember Windows 10 added the feature to protect certain folders, and some other anti-virus/anti-malware tools also have that ability if configured to do so.

timethrow Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Nope, no AV or security software, just Windows Defender, which as a test I disabled and run the Duplicate Finder again, and it still could not remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melb Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I have this issue as well. It works with local disk and USB connected but not local NAS. I can delete the files manually using explorer (win 10 latest) *.mp3 sample attached, would appreciate a solution Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinkin Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I am still having this same issue. I tried to clear read only flag from all the files. I confirmed that by checking each file's property. I also tried deleting the file through cmd(not elevated), that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkin Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Really nice software plagued by a very sh**ty bug. Everything works well and is customizable but it just won't delete the files. All in vain!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameeeeeron Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone. I searched all over for an answer to this problem I too encountered and found an answer that worked here: The short is, the folder and contents can't be compressed with windows. To find out open the properties menu with Right click > Properties and find the option on either the Properties > General tab or by clicking Advanced button found at the bottom of the General tab. Make sure these are unchecked to successfully delete duplicates with ccleaner: [ ] Compress this drive to save disk space (When viewing drive properties) [ ] Compress contents to save disk space (When viewing folder or file properties) Cheers!
