UschiHein Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hi there, yesterday, I decided to let CCleaner wipe my free space. Unfortunately though, my PC crashed during the process. I thought that wouldn't cause any trouble until I realised that my hard drive has run out of free space. Before I ran CCleaner, I had about 500GB of free space available - now it's just about 10GB. I have absolutely no idea how to fix this issue and couldn't find any helpful information on the internet... I really hope someone can help me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy2 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 - Run Antibody's wizTree. And sort the results on filesize. Any files that are VERY large ? - What's the size of the folder "System Volume Information" (There the System Restore Points are stored) ?

Moderators nukecad Posted July 1, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2020 It can/will happen if there is a crash or power failure while WFS is running. This explains why it happens and what to do now to get your space back: PS. You only realy need to Wipe Free Space if your are selling on your computer or hard drive. (So that the new owner can't use a recovery tool to recover your deleted files). *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?
