Reto Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hello everybody After installation of the newest CCleaner-Version which I was compelled to install after the Windows 10 1803 Upgrade CCleaner does not clean Waterfox anymore. .ini-files are not longer visible, I managed to see it anyway (with Resource Hacker), but the old workaround does not work anymore. In the .ini it says: "If you would like to create custom entries then create a new file called winapp2.ini which follows the same format as this one. I created a 'winapp2.ini', but... What does that exactly mean, "the same format"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reto Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Yes, 'Options' --> 'Advanced' --> 'Save all settings to INI file' is checked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APMichael Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Strange! Maybe uninstalling and reinstalling CCleaner will fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reto Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 I do not know if it's strange, but, as I already mentioned this is not my problem, as I can access it anyway. My problem is: how to make CCleaner find the Waterfox profiles in order to clean them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCleaner doesn't change the "CustomLocationX" entries. Your "CustomLocationX=FIREFOX|..." entries for Waterfox should work (Waterfox). 1 hour ago, Reto said: I do not know if it's strange, but, as I already mentioned this is not my problem, as I can access it anyway... If the option "Save all settings to INI file" is checked and you don't have a correct "ccleaner.ini" file in the installation folder, then the installation is corrupt. That's probably the reason why the "CustomLocationX=FIREFOX|..." entries don't work also.

I assume that you have accessed the build-in "winapp.ini" (this "file" isn't visible by default) with Resource Hacker and not the "ccleaner.ini" file, because that phrase isn't in a "ccleaner.ini" file, but in the build-in "winapp.ini". You have to add the "CustomLocationX=FIREFOX|..." entries to the "ccleaner.ini" file in the installation folder (not to the build-in winapp/winreg/winsys.ini).

Reto Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 APMichael, thanks, I did a clean uninstall, then reinstalled, then ticked 'Save all settings to INI file'... and there it was. So I made the necessary change to the INI, had to allow changes at the file in order to save it, and now it works! Thanks again, very appreciated.
