Ben20 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 My first post - I have been using CC Cleaner for years and think it is great - highly recommended to numerous colleagues. Yesterday I accidentally hit Wipe Free Space before cleaning which I never do normally. It seems to have filled my whole hard disc. I have 100Gig disc which had about 40 Gig of free space. I had a message to say disc full and had to remove some folders to get it going again after running disc clean up and defrag. It is now working but I only have 3 Gig free space which is folders I removed. It would appear that WFS has filled my disc - how do I recover the space please???? I run Microsoft Windows 7.

Moderators Andavari Posted July 28, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 28, 2011 Did you by chance stop the Wipe Free Space while it was running? If so that has the chance of it not removing the files it creates in the root of the hard disk, running it again without stopping it can remove those files and thus regain the original free space.

Winapp2.ini Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It would appear that WFS has filled my disc - how do I recover the space please???? Navigate to the root of the drive (C:\ usually) and delete the folders with names like ZZZzZZzzZzzZzzz etc. They were created by CCleaner. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
