Hi, The first time I used this it worked great, cleared out nearly 2 gig of trash; this is important because I am using a Dell Venue 8 and space on the C drive is limited. When I run CCleaner now it reports removing about 1.5 gig from the system recycle bin, but it does not! What's Up? Thanks, Glen
Let's assume your recycle bin may have become corrupted, try this http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=42673&p=257977
Also be sure that (in ccleaner's settings) it isn't only deleting recycling bin items of a certain age
Hi again, It could be the first time I used the Drive Wiper (with some restraint). I am trying Drive Wiper again.
I found the files I needed to delete in a TEMP folder called Pending Renames, but I could not delete them (1.5 gig).
These would not delete with Disc Cleanup either. This is a real issue with the new tablets because they come preloaded with almost a full C drive. I have lots of room on my SD card, I limit my apps, and do not have any unnecessary programs. So, we will see. I was down to less than 600 meg and I have set my backup ram at only 1 gig. 600 meg does not cut it.
Ok, drive wiper didn't help much.
With much trepidation I went into the bowels of the machine with 'command prompt', found the $recycle.bin and deleted it' and everything in it. That got me back a little room, but the c drive is still filling up faster than I am adding data.
So I deleted a couple of programs (Dell assist and Google Earth). Not my first choice.
I read that I pads were having a similar problem, no room on the C drive.
I could try a Windows clean install, way past the trepidation stage.
If anyone has a better idea...
Glen

Try this registry fix.
