[recuva overwrite/delete doesn't work]

DennisD:

Nothing like that. All I get after selecting a number of files to delete is a little square box saying 0 files deleted in a number of seconds.

[Secure overwrite does not work]

[No secure delete anymore with use of Thunderbird V.1.36.479]

Hi,

 

Can you please post some snapshots of the problem?

 

Anybody else experiencing this problem?

 

Thanks

Secure file delete does not work anymore. I tried securely deleting my already deleted files, but it keeps telling me o files deleted. I would really like to permanently delete all my files. please

That is exactly what i get when i run secure delete.(dhac)It just says o files deleted and time. It doesn't delete anything when i tell it to.

[Secure overwrite does not work]

I only use recuva to see how much data is still on my disk so i can wipe my free space, but i just realized that it has a secure overwrite(checked,highlighted)feature and i wanted to use it but it doesn't work. It keeps telling me "overwritten files" 0 (with however long it took) every time. I would really like this to get fixed so i dont have to keep wiping free space which is risky( i already had to call dell support because of ccleaner's wipe free space messed something up with the boot up) Can anyone give me suggestions on something else in the meantime for me to wipe already deleted files.(not eraser or file shredder cause they dont see already deleted files)

 

 

The secure overwrite does not work in recuva. Anyone have a reason why? i would like to securely overwrite all the deleted data for security purposes.

[Defraggler in windows 7 does not defrag but fragments(makes it worse)]

These may be "system" files.

How do i solve this problem

[Defraggler in windows 7 does not defrag but fragments(makes it worse)]

Are there some big (hundreds of thousands of kB) fragmented files with random names in C:\System Volume Information\ ?

 

 

Yeah..and its more like in the MB of files.My first one(and biggest one) is the pagefile.sys with 4 gigs with just only 2 fragments though. but everything else has got like i guess on average about 50 fragments(i just ran the auslogics defragmenter so that might not help) But see every time i run piriform defraggler it just makes the fragmentation worse. right now the defraggler is telling me that i have 12% fragmentation when i just ran the auslogics defrag(AD tells me 0%).

[Defraggler in windows 7 does not defrag but fragments(makes it worse)]

Also. degraggler is telling that i have 24% fragmentation when auslogic and windows defrag. is telling me only 1%..

[Defraggler in windows 7 does not defrag but fragments(makes it worse)]

This problem started with 1.16. its the only defrag program that reads the pagefile on my HDD and for some reason when i defrag(with defraggler) it only makes the fragmentation worse. It is because its windows 7 or what? I uninstalled and reinstalled and still does the same thing. I installed other software(auslogics) and it works fine.
