"Erase Free Space" stuck at Zero KB Hard Drive

Recommended Posts

I ran the Erase Free Space program and it filled up my hard drive and now it seems to be stuck on Zero KB remaining on the Hard Drive. It's been stuck on it for a couple hours now. Also, I can't open any of my documents. I need some help, badly. Please!

 

Wait, it just popped up to 45 KB but it's taking forever. Should I just let it keep going?

Oops Kroozer this is for Mac.

Note: Wiping free space can take several hours.

 

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.

CCMac uses the OS.X built in mechanism. It will probably leave a temporary file somewhere taking the free space when the process is interrupted. That is why in CCMac it is not possible to cancel the operation.

 

Let it run.
