File description

CAA file format is used by CleanApp software application. This application has a feature of ‘test uninstallation’ and this feature uses CAA file format.

When the person uses this option of the application, the application creates a CAA file format which stores all the data related to the specific application and that application is then uninstalled from the Operating System.

The main purpose of this file format is just to store all data related to specific application in non-compressed archive file format.

Other possible reasons why your .CAA file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .CAA file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .CAA file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .CAA file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .CAA file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

  • Right-click the .CAA file
  • Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
  • Locate the appropriate application
  • Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
