Hi Bruce.

 

I don't have a straight out definitive answer for you, but maybe try going back to the version that worked OK for you, and if it runs fine as it did before, that will at least confirm that it's a CCleaner issue and not your PC.

 

You can get all versions here:

I'm still puzzled though that there aren't any large files left after CCleaner didn't finish it's run. I've only used Wipe Free Space once myself, and it ran and completed OK, so I don't know exactly what those left over files will look like.

 

I'll see if I can get some info on that, but have a go with the older version first, and see what happens.

 

EDIT: Just an afterthought Bruce. If you don't already, I would run Wipe Free Space on it's own, and with one drive checked if you have more than one.

I did your last sugjestion before reading this and it did not help. What next??
