BettrClin Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hey everybody, I use the CCleaner every day and I realy like it. The only "problem" I have is that I use the computer together with other people, and those also use the CCleaner; it would be better for me if every user can save its own preferences and does not automatically changes the preferences for every other user. E.g. in my case it means for me that I have to look every day whether the number of rounds of overwriting is still as high as I set the day before. Other users of the computer think that one time is enough but I want the CCleaner to delete my files seven times. We had some really furious conflicts about this issue and this could be solved easily if you would implement that every preference is saved only for the respective user. Thank you!

Moderators hazelnut Posted August 2, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2015 Overwriting files once is really enough. Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettrClin Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hey hazelnut, thanks for your answer but this is not what I want to hear, it was only an example for different preferences which should be saved seperately for each user of a computer. By the way... I'm still thinking that my intimate files have to be overwritten with seven passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted August 2, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2015 Download the portable version to one of your own libraries and run CC from that. Everyone else can use the 'general purpose' install of CC. Or install the portable version in everyone's private libraries, don't have a general purpose install, and they'll all be separate. Or buy your own computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 2, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'm still thinking that my intimate files have to be overwritten with seven passes Hazelnut was only helping, and properly so - even if that wasn't exactly what you wanted to know because; 7-passes overwriting is complete overkill and a waste of time on modern hard disks, and is unnecessarily stressing the hard disk. Search or browse these forums for a plethora of other topics discussing the matter. And like Augeas stated try the portable version of CCleaner, you could unzip it into your own unique My Documents folder so that it only works via your profile.
