I don't know if anyone else has noticed or not but CCleaner is not removing everything it should. After I hit Analyze, for instance, it may tell me there are 100.6 MB to be removed. I hit the Run Cleaner button and when it's done, it tells me that 88.1 MB have been removed.
This has only begun happening since I updated to the latest version. I don't know why it's doing this but it was really beginning to annoy me so I uninstalled CCleaner and went to FileHippo. They have older versions of it for download on the same page as the most recent version. I opted for version 4.1.
Just in case anyone else is interested.

That has happened to me now and then since I started using it about 5 years ago. I have no idea why, but it's nothing new for me anyway.

Draclvr,
How long did it last? I downloaded the new version several days ago and it's done this consistently since then until I got fed up tonight.

Most of the time the numbers match, but sometimes they don't. This has happened for me for the entire 5 or 6 years I've used it.

Gil. Are any of the files compressed? Maybe it's calculating the expanded size.

I don't know, Inland. I haven't changed the default things that are checked. The only things I mess with are the cookies to be saved or deleted. So, since nothing's changed, I can't see how that would make any difference now.
Anyway, version 4.1 is deleting all the files "to be removed" so I'm happy again. <g>

Hmmm... the most recent version is 4.04. They don't even have a version 4.1??? I just ran my 4.04 version and it said there were 835 MB to remove and it removed 835 MB.
Mysteries! But like I said, the numbers not always matching up is nothing new for me.

Maybe it was 4.01, Draclvr. I'm too lazy to look. It (4.01?) is a slightly older version, April of this year, I think, that's available at FileHippo. I went ahead and downloaded it because CCleaner has never done this on my computer until I downloaded the version you have now, 4.04.

I've had 4.04 remove more files that the analyze shows too.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Browsers open while running the Analysis. I always close everything before running CCleaner.

I always close Opera to be sure CCleaner will remove everything. I've never seen it remove more files than it showed when I hit Analyze, though. You guys must have rogue copies. Gil.

Ccleaner always tells me I have to close my browser if I've left it open. In fact, it's won't finish the scan unless I let CCleaner close it.
That must be it, Gil! Rogue CCleaners!
