Delete Flash Cookies With CCleaner

So lets say for the sake of privacy you have deleted your browsing history, cache and cookies so now you cannot have your internet activity traced right?

Well what you havnt done is cleaned out your flash cookies, you may think you have but sadly many of the junk cleaner apps dont clean them neither does your browser.
Flash apps store their flash cookies seperate from the normal cookies. Some sites use flash cookies as a backup for normal cookies!

So what happens is the site reads your flash cookie, see's that the normal cookie has been deleted so reinstates the normal cookie from the data stored in the flash cookie.
Scary stuff eh?

One way to delete these flash cookies is to navigate to C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\Random Name.
Note the random name folder is just a miss-match of letters. If you open the folder you will see if you have, or dare I say, how many flash cookies you have.

An easier way, if you use CCleaner to clean your files is to add the folder to its 'Include' list.
To do this open CCleaner and click on 'Options' then on 'Include'.


Click on 'Add' then in the window that opens make sure that Drive or Folder is checked and click on 'Browse'.


Navigate your way through to C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\Random Name, highlight the folder and click 'OK'.
Now you are back at the previous window, check that 'All Files' is selected and under 'Options' the Include files only is selected.
Again click 'OK' then 'Yes' at the warning.
Now every time you use CCleaner to cleanup the junk files, the flash cookies will be deleted as well.
