Whats wrong with CCleaner?

Just make a backup when it cleans dumbass. I've never had a problem using it, ever.

Real hackers clean their logs

I've never had a tangible issue using this software ever, in fact, it resolved a registry error for me when the License Manager for my Autodesk softwares shit the bed.

I must have cleaned my registry more than 200 times without ever making any backups.

Nothing ever happened.

this shit fucked up my pc when i used it to remove windows.old after doing a refresh/reset. after the cleaning process was done, everything stopped working one after another until it became unresponsive. next time i boot, just a black screen.

mostly my fault, since windows has its own cleanup tool but lesson learned

I never had any problem with it at all. At first I usually done a backup every time before cleaning it, but after some time I stopped and never happened really.

Rather, your fault for not doing a clean installation of your OS.

sounds like retard-kun forgot to uncheck "unused file extensions" from the registry cleaner

and then retard-kun didnt back up his registry changes.

and then retard-kun didnt kill himself for being such a faggot.

The only problem it's ever caused me came from letting it delete windows.old after installing the creators update.

Some orphaned entries potentially could cause some conflicts later, others simply sit there and make the registry larger than it should be. Anyway you would need to defragment it with a program like NTREGOPT afterwards for any tangible effect. But this issue is largely irrelevant now that the system registry is usually laughably small in comparison to RAM present in the system. It used to be more of an issue 10-15 years ago when you ran XP on a 512 or 256 MB system.
