amhoyle Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 As an advanced option in CCleaner, it would be useful to be able to overwrite unused hard drive space using CCleaner. Eraser, has this functionality and I think it would fit nicely into CCleaner (or even Recuva) as an advanced option in perhaps a separate button from the main cleaning options. Once this has run, Recuva should not to be able to find any files to recover. It would be very useful for making sure sensitive files are definitely overridden, including ones than get deleted via [shift]+[delete] by-passing the recycle bin and hence not being shredded by CCleaner. elyoh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted March 30, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 30, 2008 This has been raised several times before. There are other dedicated s/w solutions (Eraser, as you mention), and personally I wouldn't want CC to become bloatware with every option under the sun. I have only wiped one disk in too many years of pc wrangling and it wasn't worth the effort then. I vote no (as you probably guessed), but then I'm a shift/del user.
