Hi!

 

How to select drive name (C: D: E: ...) for cleaning?

 

Cleaning external drives - external USB HardDisk drive?

Do not under any circumstances select other drives for cleaning.

 

CCleaner does not work like other temp/junk removers, It does not search the drive for junk (IE temps).

It is pre-programmed with locations that junk exists, that way it should never inadvertently delete good files.

 

In selecting other drives for cleaning it would completely empty the drive of all files (good and bad alike).

 

You can add the winapp2 file to clean even more junk, this is unofficial but well used in the cc comunity{HERE}

Thanks for the RE fireryone ...I'm glad I didn't find a way to select my backup drive

 

So what program you use/recommend to delete files like *.bak (AutoCAD) or ~$*.doc (word) for example?

 

By the way... is there any software tha analises and removes duplicated files?

there are different ways to determen duplicate files.

you can say a file is the same using the file size, the file name, the file checksum, ...

 

maybe one of the softwares you find here can help you.

or here

 

the first link is to free portable software.

This is also quite good for duplicate files: http://www.clonespy.com/?Features

 

With CloneSpy you can process files which:

* are duplicates

* are duplicates and have the same file name

* have the same file name

* have the same file name and (approximately) the same size

* are zero bytes long
