Ccleaner wipe drive concern.

CCleaner for Mac
1

I am doing a singe pass zero wipe of my Imac 2tb drive. Started around 1am 02/10/13 and is still going at 10:39am 2/10/2013. Below is the message that it shows and has shown so far.

Detail- I can see the spinning next to it, no progress bar.

Started erase on disk0s2 Macintosh HD

Creating a temporary file

Securely erasing a file

I was just concerned that it is not working or stuck, I also have the trash bieng emptied.

Any help, thanks.

do you have a HDD or SSD for your drive. The MAC wipe process is just calling the OSX command for drivevwipe

I am having the same issue. CCleaner wipe has been running for almost 24 hours. The following message appears in the box -

Started erase on disk0s2 Untitled

Creating a temporary file

Securely erasing a file

When I try to get out of the program, I get the following message:

CCleaner cannot be closed until the Erase Free Space operation is complete.

This is a MacBook Air with flash storage.

Post 1 - I would expect that wiping a 2 tb disk would take aeons. Post 3 - what are you wiping, SSD? Disk size?
