I just purchased a 160GB solid state drive for my computer running Windows 7 professional. I understand ssds should be cared for in a slightly different way than standard hard drives. Is it safe to use ccleaner on a ssd?
Thanks,
Aaron

yes. you can use ccleaner on all kinds of drives even flash drives and memory cards.
For just straight up normal deleting like what Windows itself does I foresee no problems.
However with secure deletion/shredding and wipe free space you should probably look up some docs on the manufacturers website as to what that does to the SSD life expectancy.
whats the make/model?
Using ccleaner would be 100% safe, you only start getting problems when you write zeros to the drive.
If you want to remove everything hit the manufacturers website and check for firmware upgrades etc
