Installed CCleaner on an external USB Hard Drive and although it is a portable application I have not seen it listed for download here is there a reason?
The problem that I am having is that when I install it on the external hard drive it also installs itself on the Host Computers C: Drive as well and in the registry quite extensively so that if I uninstall it, I have to go through and search and destroy or remove as it were.
Is there a portable cleaning application that will only install itself on to the external USB Hard Drive and not the Host Computers C: Drive and will still completely clean/wipe the external hard drive?
Thank you.

P.S. Download the portable version from the ccleaner website.

So this version wont install itself on the Hosts Computer C: Drive then anymore and only on the external USB Hard Drive?
That's what portable means.
You need to follow the little link from the main CCleaner page that says "other builds" and not just blindly download the standard one that everybody else wants to get that includes the installer.
To make it easy for you, here's the link to the page for the CCleaner portable download.

What are you juvenile, you know I was asking just to be sure, no need for the dramatics smart ass.
There is no need for this language. I know he was just trying to be helpful so you don't misunderstand him. He was giving you a hint so you wouldnt make the same mistakes other users new to portable apps made before you.
There is no way of telling how much you know about PCs and thus about programms and how they work and where portable programs are different from normal ones.
