I used CCleaner (free) for a long while, but just today downloaded the new V7, and paid for a year subscription. But I cant for the life of me find the Drive Wipe functionality.
I have a couple of older drives I want to wipe before passing on to my family…
I tried the help files, but it just shows old versions (like I used to use).
At this point it’s not there, that i’ve found. Many features that users rely on have been stripped from this version. I’m running a disc analyzer section to see if maybe it’s hidden there,but am currently at 87% and holding on a relatively small (500GB SSD) drive. Oh wait 90%
I too was looking for this tool. I greatly dislike this version, rolled it back to older version and disabled the auto update. I can’t see how a company can remove tools that were in a version you’ve already paid for. I will not be renewing until they fix it. Its a shame as I recommended Ccleaner for DECADES on literally hundreds of clients PCs but I guess I’ll be looking elsewhere and will not be renewing my pro license.
In case anyone is still hunting for this feature - I just did their online chat, where the A.I. assistant STILL tried to tell me to find it under “Tools.” It finally gave up and connected me to a live agent, who took a bit of time to confirm that Drive Wiper does not exist in either the free OR pro edition of version 7. Fortunately they went above and beyond, and provided me with a link to download version 6… so if you really want it, you can uninstall 7 and disable the updates, as Qablooie suggested above.
UNfortunately, I just learned this forum doesn’t allow links so let’s try a workaround - replace the word “community” with “download” on the page you’re currently on, type sunset between the slashes, and end with an executable file titled ccsetup639_win7
