CC Cleaner - does it clean

[LITTLEBEAR]

Hello

 

As a new user we decided to test your product - it works well on internet bits

 

However we ran recuver your other product on our disk before using the wipe disk and it showed whihc files could be recovered - fine

 

However after running CC Cleaners wipe free space, it still showed we could recover these files - not fine !!!

 

Does anyone know if thsi is a set up problem or program fault

 

The files we left on were in the root of C drive - not in sub dirs etc

 

Thank you

If you mean that the file state shows as recoverable, then don't read too much into it. Sometimes the file is marked as recoverable (as Piriform says) and contains rubbish. The test is whether what you recover is actually the original file.

 

Deleted files can also be overwritten with a valid live file. In this case the deleted file will show the contents of the live file, and if it's recovered the live file will be 'recovered'. This is a quite valid operation.

NO it does not

 

Unlike CCleaner which is really good the Wipe facility does not work

 

If you use and old faithful like BC Wipe nothing shows up ( even with 2 passes )

 

If you use recuver after ccleaner wipe everything is still there

 

Needs a bit of work ?

Do you mean that after a wipe free space you can still see the file names using Recuva? If so then this too is a valid operation, CC wipe free space does not (as far as I know) overwrite file names in the master file table. The test is whether what you recover is actually the original file.
