[Defraggler take too long]

Changes I made to reduce Defraggler run time from more than a day to less than 6 hours for 1TB on Windows 7 

Defrag was super slow prior to doing this.  

 

Go to Settings > Options > Advanced tab

Check - Save all settings to INI file

Check - Stop VSS when defragmenting NTFS volume

Check - Use custom fragmention settings:  - click Define button - check box on both options: Exclude restore point, and, Exclude hibernation file.

[Deletion of Windows system restore points]

SOLVED:  Just setting up new computer and was freaking out that all the system restore points (after each software install) were gone in Ccleaner.  Never happened before on old computer - so I played with the settings and added restore points and now it is keeping them.   

 

Here's how:

 

1) Go to Options > Settings > Wipe Free Space drives > UNCHECK - (C:) (or the name for your drive) AND 

UNCHECK - Wipe MFT Free Space

 

You can always manually wipe free space by going to Tools > Drive Wiper > Wipe (Free Space Only) >

Choose the Security (# of passes) you want > Check - C: (or the name for your drive).

 

Not sure if these one time manual wipe wipes the MFT as well though.  If not, go to #1 and reCheck items and

then do a manual wipe and then go back and uncheck those items if you want to keep restore points until you

choose to delete them or windows automatically does.
