Winapp2.ini Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 There should be a gigantic folder in the root of your Mac HD filled with files. CCleaner makes this to fill up the free space. Simply delete it winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted March 23, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2012 Moved to the MAC forum ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators Nergal Posted March 23, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2012 Some info from the devs for you guys to peruse, copied and pasted from the reply I received. Quote For erasing free space CCMac uses Mac OS tool named diskutil. It is invoked with user specified parameters and its output is displayed in “Details” text field. E.g invoking in terminal diskutil secureErase freespace 0 “/Volumes/Macintosh HD” gives exactly the same result as selecting Macintosh HD volume, Zero Out method and clicking Erase Free Space button in CCMac See manual http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/diskutil.8 Not being a Mac user, I couldn't have put it any better. Hope that helps. This may aid in the quest to find the folder or file used ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
