gowen Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hi all I apologize if the question has already been solved, but I have no much competence to read all previuos topics. I was trying for the first time the function "Wipe Free Space" of CCleaner using the method of 35 passes. Unfortunately, the process blocked my notebook, so I decided to stop it killing CCleaner process through windows task manager. After a reboot, I noticed that my hard disk passed from 60 GB of available space to only 1 GB! What's happen? How could I recover all my free space? Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to give me a help. G. E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy2 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Suggestion: - Try the following: rerun CC with same option but now with only a single pass. Shouldn't take too long (only 1 GB right ?). Let the program run until it's finished (don't do anything else). Report back if this helped. Windows has a number of "tricks" up its sleeve that could help you to regain that memory this way.

trium Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 why do you use it? I only read about problems with it... Versions of CCleaner Cloud; Introduction Ccleaner Cloud; Ccleaner-->System-Requirements; Ccleaner FAQ´s; Ccleaner builds; Scheduling Ccleaner Free Es ist möglich, keine Fehler zu machen und dennoch zu verlieren. Das ist kein Zeichen von Schwäche. Das ist das Leben -> "Picard" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
