Popular Post Mike Lister Posted December 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2023 Uncheck the box so that downloads aren't cleared. Before that, download "recuva" by Piriform and get your files back. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ravip Posted December 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2023 Before running the CCleaner 'clean' function, carefully select the options you need. Check out both tabs - Windows & Applications. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BE88 Posted December 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2023 I have used CCleaner for years but recently it has become problematic after being purchased from AVG, now I use Glary Utilities which is much superior and more reliable. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
