When you run cleanini as:

cleanini /c /logdel

you are telling it only to delete unneeded handles.

>Unimaint and chkini said they deleted all unused or duplicate handles.
>How come cleanINI finds 247 to delete?

Because Unimaint does not do exactly what cleanini does. If it did, there
would be no need for cleanini.

The 3 is a type code. The 6A1A is the actual handle. The difference is
just that the apps report the handles differently. It gets worse when the
WPS stores some handles as decimal numbers, but you really don't want to
go there.

>I also just noted something else in the chkini file. Some of the handles

I forget. Ask me again sometime. :-)
