    hello brink

    when i said files are not being deleted, they are but I have to keep clicking the
    run cleaner button a lot of times, sometimes 8 or 9 sometimes more before they delete.
    Is this normal to delete all files.

    regards calmat

    It could be a cache or temp file that is still currently in use by some program or Windows, and is why it seems like it's not getting deleted but actually is just being used still adding to it's size. It's nothing to worry about.
