adsflndfghhaisdf Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I wiped the free space on my external 2TB hard drive using CCleaner, but each time Recuva is able to recover the the same 300,000 files that are approximately 5 GB in total size, complete with file names. They all say "not overwritten" and "excellent". A random selection to recover successfully recovers them. The recycle bin is empty. The drive is split into 2 partitions. The 1st partition with the problem has existing files on it which is why I used "wipe free space". The 2nd partition is empty and I used "wipe entire drive" and that one doesn't return any results when searching with recuva except for a few small system files that are created on format. What is it that I'm doing wrong, or why are the same files still recoverable after using the wipe function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
