Why CCleaner setup file is getting huge after every update 20MB is huge for disk cleaners.

Try this Privacy Eraser: 1-click browsing history deletion, PC optimization & more
Even the free will impress you, 99% accessable, paid only unlocks the Security lvl for deletion (passes)
I only use this now, even Kerish is out the door on my Windows sys. Stay Frosty
PS: it even auto cleans the browser at close for you, like CC does.

Was that SW formerly called Tracks Eraser pro?
CCleaner is for registry cleaning after uninstall some apps. I'm worried that new update might break it.
Just be aware that the registry cleaner has minor issues with false positives and will sometimes want to delete valid registry keys.
Thanks. Its time to stick with 5.33 version.
Actually it will be an issue with both versions as it's an ongoing problem. It won't delete anything vital but can delete some keys it shouldn't.

Registry cleaners are snake oil. They cause more harm than good. I don't use registry cleaner feature or tick registry option in Wise Disk Cleaner and Privacy Eraser. I haven't used CCleaner registry cleaner at all.
No matter how accurate CCleaner registry cleaner feature is, I will not recommend to use it because it is not perfect. There will be a flaw somewhere and there. Even us humans are not perfect, so let alone software and things we created.

Ccleaner just works
Ill probably gonna stay using it just because of it

One thing I really like about Wise Disk Cleaner, is that it lacks a registry cleaner, unlike Wise Care 365.

I am not a fan of registry cleaner because 99% I don't know what those keys are.
Yes and people blindly clean the registry without knowing what was deleted. If their computer still seems to work fine afterwards, then they think it must be a "safe" registry cleaner.
Its actually easy to remove unwanted reg keys in SW section. I get crazy when I see extension file associations in registry. I still get mad.

I'm with you on using an older (safer) version of CCleaner after the new owners were proved not to be trusted in the same way that Piriform were.
I've played around with a few older versions recently, nothing too scientific, but found that different versions in the v5.30-5.36 range produced varying results with the same settings. v5.36 missed lots of browser temporary files that other versions cleaned up. I'm wondering if CCleaner wasn't as good as many of us thought for some time. I'm currently using v5.30 alongside occasional sweeps with Bleachbit and Wise Care 365, they all clean some data that the others miss.

Wise Care can be hacked, Privazer can be hacked, Bleachbit can be hacked, and so on, and so on, and so on. No different than CCleaner. Sorry. That's just how it is.
Who owned CCleaner at the time of the embed is irrelevant because Avast just held the title to the company. The systems that Piriform had in-place were the ones compromised. So the people at Piriform are wholly to blame, if you're looking to blame the parties responsible on the defense side. Avast certainly didn't have anything to do with it. It just merely purchased the CCleaner product and Piriform company. Buying Piriform didn't magically open up security holes. Those holes existed prior to Avast's arrival on the scene.
