dlb Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 It would be really great if CCleaner had an option to securely wipe/shred just the Recycle Bin either by using a right click on the bin, or by having a setting the Advanced menu in the CCleaner GUI... or both. I know CCleaner has a "Wipe Free Space" feature and I do use it from time to time, but it would be really nice to have it as an option on the Recycle Bin. Just a thought! :-D [dlb] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalj Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Go to Options > Settings and select Secure File Deletion. Select between the options (3 passes is good) (don't use the 35 one). Now go to Cleaner. In the Windows tab > System, right-click Empty Recycle Bin and select clean. If you run the cleaner with Secure Deletion enabled it will wipe everything checked. For a right click on the bin go to Options > Settings and check Add "Run CCleaner" Option To Recycle Bin Context Menu. Running this will clean all the checked boxes on the cleaner.
