Hi everybody. Can anybody answer this question?

When you download a new version of Ccleaner, are you supposed to end up with 2 cleaners? Doesn’t the new version usually incorporate into the old one?

I have Ccleaner 2.18.878. When I downloaded Ccleaner 2.22.968, I ended up with 2 Ccleaner icons in my Desktop, one for 2.18 and another for 2.22. I clicked each one, and each one brought up it’s respective version.

I went to Add/Remove in Control Panel to remove 2.22, (2.22 was the only Ccleaner there). I removed that.

Now I don’t see any Cleaners in Add/Remove, or in Program files. I thought that before this last download I had an entry for the cleaner in both of these areas. Now I don’t know where they went, I just have the 2.18 icon on my Desktop. This version still seems to work OK.

This is what I did:
When I clicked the cleaner I got a message that there was an new version to download. I clicked “Yes” to go ahead and download.
I got this page that said “Click here to download” I clicked that.
I got a page with 2 options to click to download, I chose “FileHippo.com”.
In FileHippo, I was not sure where to click. I clicked “Download Latest Version”.
On the “Do you want to save this file? I click “Yes”, and “Yes” in the next prompt.
Restart.

Is there something I was supposed to do differently?

I use XP/SP3, IE7, AOL, Mozzilla 3.5.2. and AVG Free 8.5

Thank you

Right-click the icon > Properties to see where CCleaner.exe is located. It's possible that one version did not install to C:\Program Files\CCleaner.

Hi. When I right click, the info I get is about the icon in my "Desktop". There is no "Find target", to go to where the program is downloaded.

I went to Start > Search and found there a whole bunch of Ccleaner 18.8 and 2.22 files. So, evidently, I still have both programs, (in C/Program Files) although they do not appear in Add/Remove, or in Start > Programs.

Why did I end up with 2 versions?
I thought that when you update to a new version, the new one would replace the old one so that you end up only with the new version in your system.

I now, probably, will have to uninstall everything that has to do with Ccleaner and then install again. Unless someone has a better suggestion?

Thanks,
Edith

Sounds like CCleaner.exe is installed to your Desktop, i.e., it's the actual program not a shortcut icon.

>>> It seems to be. In Start > Search it shows the old Ccleaner Application as being in Desktop, and the newer version shows that it is in C/Program Files. Weird.
