Jamin4u Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Look for a large file at the root of C:\ with random numbers or letters as a file name. What version of CCleaner are you using? The newest version is supposed to correct this in case of a crash. CCleaner v2.18.878 Added support for Internet Explorer 8. Improved Wipe Free Space routines. Improved internal communication between threads. Escape key no longer closes CCleaner. Added scrolling to Options screen. Added support for multiple DetectFile options in INI files. Fixed bug when clicking links to navigate to URL. Fixed Win98 progress bar problem. Fixed repaint problem on Options screen when resizing. Minor GUI bugs fixed.

A P O C R Y P H A Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I just wanted to add a possible other fix that has worked for me in the past. Having used another disk wiper program and as an accident shutdown during the process my hard drive had little to no space left. To correct the issue I simply used windows search (not 4.0) to use "search by file size" then I typed in first 100,000KB (100MB or greater) then 500,000KB (500MB or greater) because most windows files will never exceed either of those and most users won't have to many files other than possible game files or movies that exceed those amounts. Also click advanced in search using the "search hidden files" The search will display the largest files once completed. Simply sort by file size, find the biggest file with random numbers and letters, look at the directory it is placed in, then delete all like files around that size range within that directory. Should do the trick if else fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
