Have a little read here

Welcome to the forum
Hazelnut,
Yes, I eventually found it. I thought it would be more intuitive to have a button on the Settings page that said "Clean Drives Now" so it could be run on demand as an alternative to running it with the other cleanup options.

I created a batch file so I can defrag several drives overnight.
It displays the output in a DOS window.
The first few drives finished fine but when it got to drive F: it looks like it is processing properly.
It said:
Degragmenting drive F:
Building File List Started
Building File List (0%)
...
Building File List (100%)
Building File List Complete
Defrag Started
Defragmenting (1%)
...
Defragmenting (100%)
and it stays there without updating the screen. There is no "Defrag Complete" or "Finish" messages.
Drive F: is a backup drive for Acronis backup files and Acronis was NOT doing a backup at the time so nothing was writing to that volume.
The next morning the hard drive light is still on continuously and I let it run for another 8 hours. So something is evidently wrong. I had to Ctrl-C the program. The pagefile is on drive G:, the next drive in the list. So what happened?
TIA

I know Defraggler will only defrag 1 drive at a time, but why can't I select 4 or 5 drives, and then press Defrag so they are defragged one after another with the GUI?
TIA

Under CCleaner Settings there is an option "Secure Deletion" and "Wipe Free Space Drives". How do I execute this?
TIA

Good idea. If you think you're paranoid, the Fed's will degauss their drive, remove the platter, smash it up into tiny pieces, and then store it in a vault. It appears they've been up to some very naughty stuff if they go through all that.
