Note that in Custom Clean you only need to untick the box there once and it is remembered for future Custom Cleans.

If you are using Easy Clean/Health Check then you have to remember to untick the box there every time that you run a clean, it doesn't remember it.

Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? See this link:

Using CCleaner Pro 5.63.7540

First, I do not get the popup window you show under Easy Clean.

I am using the Easy Clean but will change that.  In the first picture showing the Custom Clean - Is the Easy Clean overriding my unchecked Custom Clean Empty Recycle Bin?  Or- is there some Windows 10 setting somewhere?  Appreciate any help.

To see that pop up in EC you have to click on "Review junk".

EC uses it's own rules and ignores anything that you have set in Custom Clean.

So yes EC is ignoring your checked or unchecked box (es).

If EC used your custom settings then it would be Custom Clean.
