I looked all over for a Drive Wiper in CCleaner 7. I couldn’t find it, so I re-installed the earlier version.
Both wipe disk and wipe freespace have been removed.
[personal opinion] With today’s large drives and SSDs a drive wipe is useless and drive life shortening. If selling a PC resetting without windows.old folder is just as effective as drive wiping.[/personal opinion]

I still have an HDD on an older computer, so I re-installed CCleaner 6.
Version 7 is a down grade, no new features. Just less features and a user interface where one has to click 1000 percent more than before to accomplish / find out the same. Better upgrade to version 6.xx and you will be happy again.
