CCleaner 5.01.0575 corrupted my SSD 01/01/2015

[ericneo3]

My SSD is a samsung pro 512 GB.

 

I downloaded CCleaner fresh from your website on 04/01/2015 and ran it, first the registry cleaner then the normal cleaner and this was the what I saw when I viewed the free space.

 

This is a pretty serious bug guys and I see someone else is also complaining about it corrupting their stuff on the forums too.

 

Anyone have any idea how to fix it without a full reformat?

 

Update:

The drive shows no error whatsoever in windows or samsung's software except for the volume size, read/writes are fine, health is good, there's no unallocated space or dropped partition either.

 

• Rebooted - No change
• Tried system restore - it won't restore due to a disk error most likely related to the problem.
• Tried to check the driver/firmware to see if it could be re-installed to fix the issue -  no luck either.

 

Backing up everything I can right now then I'm going to check the MBR/windows integrity, if that fails try a full format.

 

Update 2:

Checked the MBR and windows integrity while outside of windows and it found no errors and I tried a system restore while outside of windows and got a 0x8000ffff.

 

I ended up just reformatting and then doing a fresh installation and everything was fine. I managed to get everything off the dive on to the storage drive fine and now I have a fresh install for the new year looking at the bright side, the bug was quite a surprise to me.

 

What originally caught my eye about this bug was I noticed the free space shown was the exact same as what was free'd up by CCleaner and the drive usually sits with over 100 GB free space.

Have you rebooted yet?

• Rebooted - No change

 

Try something else. Do a cold boot: Shutdown, wait at least 30 seconds, and then start your computer.

 

Some issues can live through a reboot/restart such as hardware issues, etc.
