Bug Description

There is a bug in 1.8 which do not occurs until 1.6

When I clean up with BleachBit and close the programm this message comes

Errors occured
See the logfile C:\Programm Files (X86)\BleachBit\bleachbit.exe.log for
details

The logfile says

directory is not empty: \\?\C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp

That is the custom folder I clean with BleachBit. If I clean everything
but not this folder I don't get this error-message when close BleachBit.

Back to version 1.6 no problems like that.

Btw: The error-message is correct. This folder isn't empty at all after
cleaning and close BleachBit (also with 1.6). There are still some files in it you can
not delete and should not. For example some temp Windows files. But that was never a problem
until 1.8 gave me this error-message.

BleachBit 1.8
Windows 7 / 64bit
