    Using ver. 1.17.090 CCleaner, under the "Windows Tab" item "Delete Index.dat files" is not checked by default, what is this and is it safe to enable it :confused: system - Win. 98SE, IE 5.5, SP2 with all patches

    Index.dat are files hidden on your computer that contain all of the Web sites that you have ever visited. Every URL, and every Web page is listed there. Not only that but all of the email that has been sent or received through Outlook or Outlook Express is also being logged.

    You can delete them.
