So am I now--more than a bit shy...It really bothers me. I have used Easy
Cleaner too and had the same problem.. it cleaned out more than it should
have...as much as I would like to use such products eckkkk. I also use
cleanup. so far so good. I don't have it set to do temp files because that
got me introuble more than once. Its really hard to know how to handle it
all.
