[Old Prefetch data not deleted]

Hello,

 

I checked "Old Prefetch data" but the PF-Files in C:\Windows\Prefetch are not deleted.

 

Please help me.

D is a logical partition on a hdd.

 

Does this has any meaning: ATA Vulnerabiltiy Protection (BIOS)?

 

I thougth that Wipe MFT Free Space means that the names of deleted files are wiped.

Yes, I recovered 21 files to an USB-stick, they were described by Recuva as uncorrupted and not overwritten. I recovered and can open all of them.

 

- pictures: 16

- PDF: 4, The PDF-files are from 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2014

- DOC: 1, The Word-file is from 2010.

 

I used Wipe Free Space twice and recovered these 21 files successfully twice.

Hello,

 

I used "Wipe Free Space drives" and checked "Wipe MFT Free Space". I choose "Secure file deletion" and checked "Wipe Alternate Data Streams" and "Wipe Cluster Tips".

 

Immediately after CCleaner finished I used Recuva and 21 files were found and recoverable.

 

Why?
