    I seen a big one once, I was cleaning out a computer for a relatives friend. Actually just taming the start ups, updating all the programs, updating windows, etc. The first program I ran was cleanup! Well, this PC was just used to surf and play around on. It deleted over 14 gigs, I went and watched a tv show while it was working...

    I should of grabbed a screenshot of it, I know Cleanup! has a list of records on their site. Some are monstrous.

    Found it: Cleanup! Records

    Of course!! Twice!!! Once with with IOBit, and again with the WinXP built-in defrag. The first IOBit defrag took just over 6 hours!

    the huge amount of files is prolly why the top progress bar is red instead of the usual green...

    and i thought the 600MB or so i just cleaned out was alot!!! :eek

    I run ccleaner on every malware infected machine that comes through the shop and that is by far the record for files deleted.

    See if you can beat my 1700 registry errors picked up on first run of ccleaner record.

    i once ran ccleaner on my friend's 4 year old computer that had NO virus protection that whole time, and it crashed trying to scan for registry errors.

    i just reinstalled windows for him and gave him some proper virus protection to save time.

    Your graphic says 16,050.8 MB not GIGS OR GB, If it would be gigs we would be in the 'Twilight Zone' :cool, and that would be really, really scary.............lol :eek:eek
