jayramona Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.Greetings. I am having a problem where there is a task located at \CCLEANER, but I am getting errors when I start GUI Task Scheduler and when I try to query or delete the task via schtasksIn the GUI I get the error:An error has occurred for CCLEANER Error message: The specified account name is not valid.And, the task is not listed in the GUI interface.So, I tried from the command line.I can see the task \CCLEANER when I type schtasksHowever, if I try any query, delete etc using the /TN switch, I get the error:ERROR: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.So, I cannot delete the task from the command line.I have uninstalled ccleaner.If anyone can tell me the source of the error and how to fix it, that would be great. I did not want to try anything before I understood what is happening.Thanks,Jay Edited January 28, 2014 by jayramona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitroshift Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Have you tried to delete the file corresponding to that task from %windir%\Tasks?nitroshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Windows also stores data about Tasks here:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tasksremove the key also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayramona Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thank you, I deleted the task from the registry. That seemed to stop the ccleaner problem.I now get an error that task (0) has a problem.I checked out the %windir%\tasks and it's a pretty sparse directory. I have a job to start skype, and it does not appear in the task folder.I have two questions1) Why the error (picture attached)2) Where are the jobs stored (picture attached)I would appreciate anyone's insight on dealing with task scheduler.jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
