See message above. After 3 days, I have completed the above 35 passes. Now the program is creating a "secondary temporary file" and starting passes again. What is that all about; I hope not another three days? It doesn't say it is erasing anything. Is it safe to shut down, or do I need to wait for ??? number of these passes? My disk capacity seems to be OK, per my disk utility, although I don't know what the size of the temp files being created are, and if they will deleted automatically when the program stops itself (I hope) or I try to stop and reboot. Is the secondary temp file creation the normal function for the program after the 1st 35 passes?
Thanks

I am currently using the erase free space feature on my Mac (os Yosemite.) I am using the 36 pass security feature to make sure some deleted financial logon data is secure. (Probably overkill, but...) I have around 1/2 of 1 terrabyte disk with free space. Any rough idea of how long the process should take; I have 12 gig memory total and about 4-5 free. The other programs, when I am running any, seem to work OK and not significantly slowed down. I am still on my first pass after around 3 hours, but the program seems to be running and not taking a lot of resources according to my activity monitor. I don't mind leaving my Mac running constantly for a few days, if that is what it takes? Do I have to set my sleep setting to "never" or will the program prevent my Mac from sleeping while it is running. The program says that it can't be stopped, but I assume it means that it will leave a file if it is forced shut etc. I have read the message just above this one about a reboot.
Thanks; just wanted to make sure that the warning about taking several hours can mean DAYS.
fails to delete downloads and history
in CCleaner for Mac
Posted
In the past, CCleaner has always deleted my history and downloads in Chrome (now Version 53.0.2785.143 (64-bit)) on my Mac. Now, even though I have the setting set to do so, it does not delete either. My Chrome preferences are pointing to my downloads directory. Am I doing something incorrectly; prior version always did this.
