Gerry, I'm not sure why you are blaming Windows for these types of files. I set Norton to clear all of these periodically (or you can yourself whenever you want). I thought CCCleaner was to clean the registry and not temporary files or log files? I run CCCleaner about once a year to clear my

I can’t vouch for the Widows files. but the Apple files you reference are merely caches, or places where files and data are cached during use. The system saves copies of these if it thinks you’re using them regularly so that when you re-visit a site it can load faster. As a point of
