  1. Well, my original post was sent in November of 2016, it is now February of 2017 and this application continues to select many files to be deleted but only removes a few.  The moderator earlier indicated that this post is reviewed by CCleaner staff and they are replicating our results.  When will they be fixing the problem - it has now been over 4 months.  I use this program and my Windows computers and it works great.  Please update this program for all MAC users.

    CCleaner for mac is working fine for me. Be sure that your selection for secure deletion is "normal" and not "secure". Sierra no longer allows secure deletion since Apple now uses SSD drives in most of their machines and those drives do not support secure erase.

  2. I have used CCleaner on Windows for years.  On Mac, relatively new to CCleaner for Mac, but not the Mac.  I can say this... with the current version of Mac OS (Sierra 10.12.3), Secure file deletion is not happening on my system.  It takes longer like its doing something, and yet it shows nothing except a 0KB file from Firefox deleted...  Could this have something to do with secure deletion having been removed from the operating system for emptying trash???  (This was done because when using File Vault on a hard drive, everything is encrypted, so in the view of the Apple wizards, securely deleting encrypted data is unnecessary because once the decryption key for that set of data is deleted, the data is as good as dirt and unrecoverable anyways so it is unnecessary to securely delete anything--but this does no good for those not using File Vault on their drives)...

     

    That's the first thing I see that is problematic with CCleaner not being functional on Mac.
