Thanks, gentlemen. I appreciate your knowledge and help.

[Secure erasing]

I think when the secure erasing is selected, CC should also do this when wiping a file:

 

- clean the file's cluster tip / slack space (that's the most important one)

- scramble the file name, date, etc.

- perhaps also erase the alternate data stream if it exists (although I guess adding that could be too much hassle)

 

That's really secure file deleting. Of course there are tons of erasers that do that, but the point is that when a user gives the task of secure deleting of some files to CC, CC should do the task securely on its own.

 

 

I am not a computer expert so this is a bit over my head. I would like CCleaner to security erase all of the unused portion of my hard drive. I assume that this is not done when I security erase files that CCleaner deletes. Am I correct? If so, is there a good free program to what I need?
