Using ShellBagsView from NirSoft Utilities I've just found out that Windows is storing the names of visited directories together with things like window position, even for directories deleted many years ago.

I've tried to remove this information using Piriform CCleaner, I checked the box "Windows Size/Location Cache", but it doesn't work.

  • Is deleting all the registry entries safe?
  • Is there a better way?
  • What additional threats to privacy should I expect in Windows?

You can use Process Monitor to see which registry entries the ShellBagView is looking at.

I wouldn't worry too much about your folder history. You've got bigger fish to fry, like the people tracking you using your cellphone.

Or use NirSoft's own CleanAfterMe.
