ScannerCopy is gone.
Not going to worry about the ghost then, it's that time of the season anyway...

I don't have any ghost entries I can test it with, but if memory serves me correctly I believe CCleaner offers to remove entries from Add/Remove in cases like this. Look in the other options besides Disk Cleaning.

Thanks Keeper........I went and checked on my CCleaner and yes that option is there, however as you can see below it wouldn't let me delete it. I take it that the MSI means MicroSoft Installer?

Okay, I got rid of the ones that listed. However there are a few more that have the same Used/Rarely can those be removed also, since Broni said it means they are dead files?

I assume so, if and only if you(or the computer) don't really need or want them....I have always gotten rid of programs whether I liked them or not simply because I may have used them once or twice period, why keep them them taking up space......Rule of thumb also is to create a system restore before doing anything, I neglected to state that before.
