Good evening,
In Applications, I uninstalled my version of CCleaner to install the latest version.
The software was presented in a compressed format, so I extracted it. I used the various functions of CCleaner, but the new version of the software does not appear in the applications.
Searching in the downloads, I found that CCleaner is in this location
C:\Users\rosem\Desktop\Downloads\ccsetup576(2)
If this can be useful, I am attaching a screenshot of CCleaner.
How can I remove this compressed version and use CCleaner in the future?
Thank you for your response

Hello
You are not using an "Installed" version but a "local" one in its folder ccsetup576(2) which is located in the Downloads folder on your Desktop.
Move this folder ccsetup576(2) to C:\Program Files, rename it to CCleaner (more friendly), open the CCleaner folder and right-click on the program (exe) and choose "Pin to Start Menu"
See you later

If the answer helped you: a little thank you is nice. If it's resolved: the green button at the top is better ;-)
Let him who has never opened a user manual throw the first mouse.

Hello
I don't know if I'm mistaken, it is possible that CCleaner is properly installed, but how can I find out? TamaraLempicka says she can't find anything and has searched...
CCleaner might indeed be installed and already in C:\Programs and in the CCleaner folder...
The user will see!
Otherwise?
See you!

Hi,
The setup version of CCleaner doesn't come in a .zip archive.
Only the Portable version is available, which you can place wherever you want and create your shortcuts wherever you want.

Hi Fabul,
I didn’t see your message before posting, I was editing it along with Jfmimi in the message #7
Same comment as you.
Cheers!

Hi Pistouri.
Since you're suggesting a version that installs, it would be better to offer the Slim version (without the toolbar)
I've always used the portable version; once you know how, it's less of a hassle.
You just need to extract over it to update.
When the virus was in the CCleaner installer, I wasn't affected.

Only TamaraLempicka's opinion will decide.
The ideal is to have a portable version on a USB stick, as it won't clutter the PC in case of a low-capacity hard drive.
I've never tested the Slim version (it's an exe application that installs unlike the portable version).
Apparently, there are no traps (toolbars).
Except for unchecking the options in the context menu.
Ccleaner is not recommended given its checkered past regarding privacy.
The default checked options are sufficient.
Registry cleaning can sometimes do more harm than good; the option to create a backup is still offered in the form of a reg (.reg) file.
Windows Disk Cleanup also performs cleaning, and for browser history, there is an option to do it upon closing.
For the recent driver update option in Ccleaner, I don't know the outcome, whether it's positive or not.

Hello,
From what I understand, you have downloaded Ccleaner 576 twice, which can be found in your Downloads folder
The number 2
C:\Users\rosem\Desktop\Downloads\ccsetup576(2)
There is only the portable version presented for download in the form of an archive that requires extraction
Unless you did not download it from the official site
You can put it in the recycle bin, as there is no installation with portable applications.
In the future, go to the official Ccleaner site
And save/download the latest official version
The CCM software block also offers it --► CCleaner

Hello,
Thank you very much Pistouri, I put CCleaner in the recycle bin.
I noted your way of downloading CCleaner.
But since you advise against CCleaner because of privacy concerns, what should we regularly do with our laptop instead?
Thank you.
Have a good afternoon.

Hello,
You can use CCleaner in moderation.
Avoid the CCleaner registry cleaning.
Why?
There is a dispute between Microsoft’s Windows 10 and Piriform’s CCleaner and Avast.
==► CCleaner: What is it and why to avoid this software
==► Do you really need CCleaner?
==► Windows 10, Beware of CCleaner, negative impact on performance and stability?
Let us know what your operating system is?
Windows 10; Windows 7....?
By the way, do you have Avast antivirus?

Good evening,
I am coming back very, very late on CCM. (moving in, work at my place) and I apologize.
I had understood that CCleaner was more negative than anything else.
My operating system is Windows 10.
I haven't had Avast for a long time because CCM advised against using it and added that for my computer, Windows Defender was more than sufficient.
I refuse cookies on websites and I avoid those that try to impose them on me. In addition, I clear the cache from time to time.
I will regularly perform a disk cleanup.
Have a great end of Sunday.

Hello,
Wise decision regarding the antivirus Avast. (A pain, a real pain).
Now we just need to spread the word in the right direction!
Cookies
On some sites, there's no choice but to accept.
Some sites abuse it to the point where privacy is no longer preserved.
But all this is going to change if it isn't already in motion
==► why the RGPD consent boxes on your favorite sites have suddenly changed
Cookies continued
Example of accepting Google cookies
Browser extensions can help avoid them.
For Firefox ----► I don't care about cookies
Add an ad blocker of your choice except Adblock (ads are not filtered due to agreements between certain commercial sites).
Cache, history, cookies
Schedule the deletion in your browsers, and you won't have to think about it anymore.
Soft cleaning
Less aggressive than Ccleaner ==► Privacy Eraser
Use it moderately for the "Registry" section.
PS:
Happy cleaning for your setup :-)

If not, they risk being caught, as the CNIL has announced inspections.

Good evening,
Thank you because in the Google Chrome settings, I found how to delete cookies and site data upon closing the browser.
Since Google recommends not blocking all cookies, I didn't do it. But maybe I'm wrong and I should continue to refuse them on each site?
I've just replaced Adblock Plus with uBlock Origin. Is there something better?
I'll take care of Privacy Eraser.
Thanks for all your advice and also for the moving in.

Hello,
I hope you're doing well.
I didn't mark it as "Resolved" because I have no solution for Google that appears every time I open my Google Chrome browser.
Your solution "I don’t care about cookies" is only available with Mozilla where I downloaded it. What do I do for Google Chrome, which I'm used to and find faster?
I installed Privacy Drive, created it in the start menu as well, but even though I specified "chosen language French," everything is in English and for now, I don't know how to use it.
Thank you for your help and have a great Sunday.
See you soon if you have some time to spare for me.

Hello,
This is the message -►Before accepting.....cookies...
To stop seeing this message, open Google Chrome and install the extension --► I don't care about cookies
Close and restart Google Chrome
The message may appear for a fraction of a second, but disappears immediately.
I will look into Privacy Drive, which I am not familiar with, or someone may tell you more.
See you later.

Content for you.
Privacy Drive -►encryption software for PC that uses virtual disk and "on-the-fly" disk encryption technology.
It seems to be a trial version before a potential purchase.
I don't think Privacy Drive has the language in French.
In any case, there is only English with the portable version.
Best regards.
Have a nice day.

I strongly recommend going into the explorer options and disabling "hide extensions for known file types." It's important to know whether a file is an application, a configuration file, etc...
I provided the installation file just because that was all I had.
Since the file only runs once, wouldn't it be simpler to do the same thing the next time I want to use CCleaner?
I can't get into the explorer options and disable "hide file extensions." Can you please explain to me?
Thank you.
to see the file extensions:
otherwise the answer to your first question is provided by @Fabul in message #4
you downloaded the portable version and not the installable one of ccleaner!!
Same answer as to SATS_fr.
I thought CCleaner would remain even if not visible.
Will this version of CCleaner prevent me from downloading CCleaner again next time?
If not, that's not a problem because I won't be able, as you said, to "move this folder ccsetup576(2) to C:\Program Files, rename it to CCleaner, open the CCleaner folder, right-click on the program (exe), and choose 'Pin to Start' ... because I have little knowledge of computers."
Thank you for your response.
