Lennox Macduff Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hi I just registered to ask this question. I deleted a disk image of Wolfenstein with 35 passes and now my hard drive space is reading that I only have 699 MB's of free space. I know this is false because before I ran the cleaner I had 80+ GB of free space on my hard disk. This has happened to me once before, but running the cleaner again fixed the problem, I've tried running it multiple times after the error and it is still displaying I have very little storage space left on my hard disk, is there any way to resolve this?

Moderators Andavari Posted November 24, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2009 Possibly the lost HDD space is in System Restore Points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennox Macduff Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 I have one restore point that I made today, after the error. No dice, any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennox Macduff Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 OKay if it makes a difference I'm using windows seven and I have a 250 GB HD and i should have about 129 gigs free on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamin4u Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Did you run the Wipe Free Space feature of CCleaner? If so, look for a large file at the root of your operating system with a long alpha numeric name. When the process is interrupted, the file is not deleted. I believe this has been corrected in more current versions of CCleaner. Online Documentation...CCleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennox Macduff Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 I found the problem it was a file called $recyclebin or something, hidden. I deleted it and everything is fine. No I didn't wipe free space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
