  1. Thanks very much everyone. All of your replies helped. I'm actually asking cause my friend was suspected of a crime I can't disclose and the forensic expert found nothing on his PC, but he did found CCleaner installed and kinda implied my friend is possibly guilty cause he had an "anti-forensics" software installed. The friend was only using CCleaner exclusively to clean temp & junk files on C: cause he was lacking space on C: drive after years of windows updates shrunk the free space on it to a few Gb's. He didn't even clear his browsing history or the downloads folder with it. I was asking to confirm if I had the wrong impression of what CCleaner does, but you guys reassured me, thanks. P.S. love the car, windows & paper shredder examples.
  2. Hi, I've heard someone in the field of computer forensics say that ccleaner is used to delete files permanently. Is that true? Does it actually try to shred things better than shift+delete so they're harder/impossible to recover or does it only serve as a shortcut as to what to delete in order to save the user the hassle? He also stated it's considered an anti-forensics tool. I am a bit reluctant to keep using it if it makes me seem suspicious or like I'm hiding something.
