[Using CCleaner for wiping/erasing entire HDD or SSD]

Hi Everyone,

in the past, i've used CCleaner for erasing my HDD & even my SSD, and i've been using "Simple Overwrite (1 Pass)" Method....and then sold my Hard Drives.

Now my Question to you all is.

Is CCleaner "Simple Overwrite" (1 Pass) Wiping Method enough and does CCleaner really wipe the entire Hard Drive & making Recovery impossible?!

Thanks!

It was Movies & Photos on my Hard Drive, maybe you will laugh now.....

but i deleted those 2 Folders "also" from my Other (Backup) Hard Drive

I think, i'll have to live with it....that it is not recoverable anymore

[Desperately needing help recovering Deleted Folders - Please help me]

Hi Everyone,

Couple of weeks ago, i have deleted 2 Folders from my Hard Drive, and i am looking for a way to completely restore the Folder.

The 2 Folders were stored on my 6 TB Hard Drive and the 2 Folders were approximately 300 GB large

Today i have installed Recuva and performed a "Deep Scan" on the Hard Drive, the Scan took me 3 hours!

i had thousands of files in the Folders & Recuva approximately found only 10% of them which are in Excellent Status & Recoverable most of my missing files, Recuva doesn't even show them!!!

And on some Files Recuva says "The File is overwritten with..."

Can you Guys please help me out and tell me, which Program(s) can recover my Folder/Files

Thank you very much!
