Excellent thanks, that was a really simple fix.

I have done this several times but it does NOT IGNORE.  Dropbox cache shows up every time and I have to de-select it to stop the re-indexing problem.  Help!!!  Any other ideas????

Yes, it is but how do I get the "add to ignore list" to stick?? The DB cache shows up on every clean. Help!!

Spoke too soon! Just ran the maintenance utility on CleanMyMac 3 and now have a couple of hours of frustratingly slow performance as my 55,000 dropbox files resync! CMM is definitely going in the bin now.

I suggest CleanMyMac customer service if the Ignore List isn't sticking for you. They'll reply within a day or two. Please share the solution with this forum.

I think it's the maintenance utility also.  I just ran clean, unchecked the DB related files because it doesn't ignore DB file and no sync.  THEN AFTER maintenance, it's resyncing again.  I hate this.  Please HELP!!!!

20170723_085010 It's resyncing now, not re-indexing. What is going on with CMM? I may have to dump it. It's interrupting my work.

Any new suggestions?

20170723_085408 I have tried to use ignore list but it doesn't stick for next clean.

20170723_085447 It doesn't stick. Next time DB files show up again. I uncheck them now. However, it just happened again -- resyncing 400,000+ files. Ugh. I think maintenance may be doing it now?
Need more support?
