dale92 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I noticed when running it with free space wash w/ 7 passes my computer thinks that I'm using up diskspace. Does anyone know how to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted April 20, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2009 Wipe Free space will create a file (no matter howmany passes you have set) Of extra ordinary size. At the end of Wipe freespace this file will be disposed of which'll then allow you the freedom of empty space. I (and this is just a personal feeling not share by ALL regularly visiting members of this forum) am VERY against wipe freespace as it causes many users issues. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Robbie Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I was about to ask the very same question. What kind of users issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted April 20, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2009 Threads like this, which are many, at a guess. The thread is quite valid, as the wipe free space operation is not always understood by many users: I would think that it is quite alarming to see an application run for hours just eating up disk space. PS And wipe free space for the overwhelming majority of mankind is soooo unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
