c cleaner

[survivor]

If I download and use cleaner and it show many duplicate files how am I to determine which ones to delete or do I just hit the all button?

 

[Dystopia]

Delete all the ones that say something like "copy of "filename""

Unless I'm blind CCleaner does not touch duplicate files.

 

[survivor]

what if they all just say duplicate will that just delete the duplicate files and leave originals?

 

[TFT]

Have you actually scanned with CCleaner, at the moment the latest version has no implementation for scanning for Duplicate files. That's why it is deemed as one of the safest cleaners. Programs do install duplicates in different folders and deleting them can cause problems.

 

[survivor]

I have not done a scan as of yet I can and then see what it shows

 

[TFT]

Don't worry, it won't show duplicate files. To some it might be over the top but at the end of each day I run CCleaner before shutting down and in 2 years has never caused a problem.

 

[survivor]

going to run it when I get back to see what it shows.

I also run ccleaner once a day and have for about six months never had a problem.

 

[survivor]

so you delete whatever the scan shows or do you have to choose which ones to delete?

 

[FatalityTech]

You do have options as to which one but i always delete them all.
