Hugo Prittie Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Despite having sett CCCleaner to clean the D:Disk as well, it fails to remove any .tmp files. Anyone got an idea why this could be happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Augeas Posted April 30, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 30, 2009 Wipe free space will not remove any live (undeleted) files on any drive. It overwrites free space. CC file cleanup runs on the system drive only. If you want to remove any specific files or folders on the d drive then you will have to drag them into the Include section of CC/Options, and tick the Custom Files and Folders box on the Cleaner page.

Shame, I was hoping to find a tool that cleaned up my other drives as well as the C:Disk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted April 30, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 30, 2009 An application can know (or be told) what's a temp file and what folder it's in on the system drive, as they are known entities. There's no way it can tell what is good and what isn't on other drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
