softy2000 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Can Ccleaner wipe / clean an external USB connected hard drive prior to selling it, if so how? I can see how to clean the folders in the external usb drive but not the root itself. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted May 28, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2009 Have you tried including the root directory in the Options/Include section of CC? Your post reads as if you have. If it is, then include it, and select Settings/Secure File Deletion (single pass). Then go back to the Ccleaner page and right click on Advanced/Custom Files and Folders, and select Analyse. This will show you what you are about to destroy forever. If all looks OK then right click again and select Clean Custom etc. Just be careful what you're zapping, it's your pc not mine. If it's not possible to do this then I'm sure someone will come along with some magic command line parameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
