Are you running Windows 10? Are you a CCleaner aficionado? CCleaner is a great program for cleaning up temp files that build up over time on your computer.

An upgrade to CCleaner (version 5.08.5308 at the time of this post) is needed to run properly with Windows 10 and the new Microsoft Edge browser.

When you do run CCleaner to clean, however, you may encounter the following pop up window message:

Microsoft Edge Cache Database needs to be closed to clean the Internet cache. Do you want CCleaner to close Microsoft Edge Cache Database?

The reason for the error message, according to Piriform, is that the Microsoft Edge database is also used by other programs  or apps on your computer.

Now, you may be thinking, “I’ll just click on the ‘Do not show me this message again’” button.

Go ahead and try it. But my experience is that the box will show up again next time you run CCleaner.

But, before you get mad at Microsoft, if you use Google Chrome, you may already be familiar with a similar pop up window telling you that Google Chrome needs to be closed in order to clean the Internet cache.
