Clean Multiple Disk Drives on Same PC C, D, E etc

[starman60540]

Greetings,

 

Add feature to allow selection of one or more disk drives for cleaning and wiping.

 

Currently CC only cleans C Drive, I have a D drive for back I would also love to clean and wipe.

 

Clean:

 

A:

C:

D:

E:

F:

 

etc.

In Options/Settings there is the ability to select which drive you want to have free space wiped. The standard clean operations only apply to the system c drive, as this is where the default folder and file locations are. It would be dangerous to assume that similarly named files on other drives could be removed. (I can't remember what happens if your system drive isn't c, but it's in the forum somewhere.)

The problem with that is that it would require knowing where the junk files are. Windows has standard file locations that are safe to clean.

Other drives have junk in different folders, making it impossible for CCleaner to tell where to go.

 

CCleaner will never support the scan for "junk" files because an attempt to search for .tmp files will not only clear temp files, but also bring up template files that are .tmp based as well!

 

CCleaner is meant to be a safe cleaner, & adding multiple drives would be unsafe!
