"Wipe free space" canceled - question

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hi guys,

First of all - sorry for my english. I hope that what I wrote is quite understandable ;)

I have a question about “Wipe free space” option - how it is if I had canceled this process before it had finished - for example I canceled this at 80% - it’s mean that I was wiped this free space in 80% or 0% (becouse the process was not finished)?

If it’s important - it’s about some old version of CC Cleaner.

Thanks for answer

Regards

Reiv

What has already been wiped will remain wiped - it won't become unwiped because you cancelled the process. Whether the 80% is accurate or not is anyone's guess.

Thanks for answer Augeas. So it's unlike to, for example, installation something.

perhaps think of it like a defrag process.

what has been done up to when you cancelled won't change.

and what hasn't yet been touched hasn't changed.

Thanks, I understand now. One more question - can I using this option (wipe free space) while I using computer (browsing the internet, listen to music etc.)? Or i shouldn't do anything on this computer until the end of this process?

Anyone?

You can use the pc, but it's probably better to let it do its job with free use of the drive
