BillLH Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 After I run CCleaner (v. 5.43.6522), there are still tracking files on my computer, and the browser is closed. I ran it several times - it keeps removing several tracking files, and II have not been back on the internet. Older versions did not do this - what is happening, please?

Moderators Nergal Posted June 2, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 2, 2018 What are the exact files? Which browser? 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 nukecad Posted June 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2018 We discussed this recently, What CCleaner is reporting as "tracking files" is not what you or I would generally regard as tracking files. In fact I did some checking and CCleaner is reporting every file it clears as a "tracking file". It's just a semantics issue, or more likely advertising speak. (To make you think you are being tracked all the time so will go and buy Avast?). https://forum.piriform.com/topic/51666-tracking-files-not-cleared/?do=findComment&comment=295173 The files that keep comming back between cleans are simply temporary files that get recreated as soon as you have cleaned them. Windows itself, and other apps, needs these temporary files so if/when you delete them they just recreate them. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?
