    "Registration Entries" file appeared in my Documents


    I have Windows 10 Version 1909.

    A file called cc_20200107_112022 (type Registration Entries) appeared somehow in my Documents directory. I have no idea what it is. I have scanned it both with Malwarebytes & McAfee, showing no issues with either scan.

    When I double click it says "Adding information can unintentionally change or delete values & cause components to stop working correctly. If you do not trust the source of this information in C:\Users\______\_______\cc_20200107_112022.reg, do not add it to the registry. Are you sure you want to continue?" Yes No

    So I've just clicked No so far. What is this Registration Entries thing, how did it appear suddenly, & can I safely delete it?

    Do you have CCleaner? If you do, it could be a registry backup. The numbers would show date and year.

    Yes, I did run CCleaner & made some changes in the Registry section. I was trying to solve an error code issue looking online (it's solved now), and one suggestion was running CCleaner & it instructed to choose certain boxes in the Registry section. I guess it's OK to just delete it. Thanks.

    You're welcome. I'd keep some registry backups for awhile, just to make sure nothing gets messed up,before deleting!
