Athlon64BIT wroteI ran the release candidate, it said I had over 700 errors.
I cleaned and fixed everything, restarted computer.
Then ran Ccleaner and here is what I found...…
It cleaned nothing lol.
Somethings wrong!

Our cleaning philosophy is to highlight safety, not the number of items removed. For example, with temporary data cleaning, jv16 PowerTools does not simply detect all the temporary data folders (say C:\Temp\ and C:\Windows\Temp\ for example) and delete all files from there. This is what most if not every single other application does.
We don't do this, because this can cause problems. There is a reason why temporary files are stored in your system. For example, if you install a software, it will use the temporary folder(s) to store its data. If you delete all these files before the installation is completed - e.g. before rebooting the computer after a software installation - you may break something. Is it worth to break your computer for the benefit of deleting few kilobytes of files? I don't think so.
That's why for example the temporary file detection is protected by time checks in jv16 PowerTools. It will not delete any temporary files that have been used recently (in the matter of days).
Same goes for Windows log files and cache files. They are there for a reason. For example just deleting all the cache files typically makes your computer *slower*, not faster. The idea of jv16 PowerTools is to make your computer faster and cleaner. Not slower. That is why we use extra care about choosing what cache data should be deleted.
We think it's better to be safe than sorry.
All that being said, this is Release Candidate software and there can still be bugs. We'll investigate and see if there are any bugs relating to this. Thank you for reporting!
