Guest jamesorvillesmate Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Windows 7 Home 64 bit P C Hello. I'm as green as grass when it comes to computers,so forgive me if my questions appear a little nieve. It concerns the free space cleaning. What exactly happens when I run Cc in this mode,is it acting in a way like a defrafragmention pass, an thus freeing up more space? Should I bother with it at all as I've loads of free space at the moment? Or is it to rid my PC's hard drive of all traces of errent files (fragments) that may be hiding there? Really pleased with your product:) James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted September 8, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 8, 2015 Free space clearing will achieve no extra space on your drive. Basically WFS (wipe freespace) fills all the unused areas (your freespace) with junk then deletes the junk. While this does not net any extra drive space it makes any (previously) deleted files to be harder/unlikely for recovery. 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.
