Thanks for the re-assurance guys!

Would the default have ad enough passes? and Would a Defrag have helped?

I didn't cos I have only now read about that elsewhere! I had an external plugged in at the same time as I was backing up files! I assume it was just the defalt setting as I never used the WFS before! Would this have cleaned C: or theE:?? or both?

Hi, Have been using Ccleaner for quite a while now and love it! ...but the one feature I never used until yesterday was the wipe free space. My query is.....will this actually wipe deleted files?? Thing is....embarrisingly I had to send my works laptop back to IT for a rebuild. Lets just say there were some files that my wife and I would be very embarrised about if they were tracable! - they were deleted and the I ran the full cleaner including "wipe free space" Will this save any embarrisment on our part, and hopefully keep me out of trouble with the systems use policy! Will the files be traceable to some IT Geek?
