JAGO Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 It is to my knowledge that when you delete something (not send it to the Recycle Bin), it's not actually removed from your hard drive, but rather marked for overwrite, so it's seen as free space. I've heard there are programs that can actually delete files from your PC, and it would be cool if CCleaner noted these files that were considered free space and actually deleted them.

lokoike Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 The newest version does do secure overwrites; it writes random data over what is being removed several times, so that it can't be recovered. Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenknight Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 By "newest version", he means the new beta version, not the current release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
