I stopped the process before completion with both methods above, and the file/folders did delete instantly. and in both cases, if the process is stopped before completion, the single file, or single folder and files are automatically deleted. If WFS is launched via "Tools\Drive Wiper", then the wipe is done with the creation of a folder carrying a multi-digit number, containing other folders, containing lots of files, and all carrying names with variations of Z's.

If "Wipe MFT Free Space" is checked in the above, the following method is used. If WFS is launched via "Options\Settings", with either normal or secure file deletion, and the "Wipe MFT Free Space" is unchecked, the wipe is done with the creation of one file, which grows to the size of your free space and is then deleted.

I can only comment on the feature in Windows, but one thing I have just confirmed is that Wipe Free Space does the job in two entirely different ways, depending upon how it's launched, and I don't know if this is the same with your Mac version. I think it's time the devs gave some direct input regarding the problems you guys are having with CCleaners Wipe Free Space feature. Not interested in checking to see if it's browser related when Opera is the 2nd oldest browser still in wide use. Maybe that's the reason for the Like This Error too. Really? None? That's the quota? The thumb link in the second post does not work.

So I had hoped for the same with the Mac version.Īs a side note, I logged in and clicked the Like This button next to the OPs post and it told me there was an error.

I've installed and used, often, CCleaner on friend's Windows machines when doing maintenance without a problem. It sure would be nice to hear from someone that develops this product as to why this happens.įree utilities are highly appreciated as long as they do no harm. I've restarted my Mac Mini 2.26GHz 10.6.8, three times and the 15GBs have not come back.

I tried it again two days ago and it ate 15GBs of free space before I stopped it. Somehow after restarting I got my free space back.

Last time I tried it, it left me with 25MB when I stopped it. Where are these temporary (I sure hope they're temporary) files that it's creating to then get rid of? At what point do I get back my ~1TB of free space I had BEFORE using this product? So far, NOT a happy camper!!! Starting ccleaner again and the "Erase Free Space" process again is just continuing to slowly drop my available space down, so I'm a bit panicked that it's going to hit some minimum threshold and my computer is just going to barf. I did click "Stop" and then shut down the Mac and started it up again hoping that the mystery "large files" mentioned in another post would be gone, but they're not and I'm down to literally ~20GB as I write this. I got home tonight and there's less than 100GB free space left on that volume and it's just going down down down (albeit slowly) with the "Securely erasing file" message sitting in the "Details" window. I had almost 1TB of free (available) space on my "iMac" volume according to the Finder. I got ccleaner earlier today and kicked off the "Erase Free Space" process on my Mac with the "Zero Out" option, then went my merry way.
