vecchio Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 hi to all people when i use secure deleting file mode(3 pass) and i have more than 50 mb of crap to delete , ccleaner takes more than 15 minutes to work I understand that the secure mode cleaning takes more time but no so much time I think that is a problem with the program Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 When you want security, you often get it at the cost of convenience or speed. When you delete a file, it just gets removed so it doesn't show up in the file system listing, and the space where the files is gets marked as free space so it can get overwritten by other files sometime later maybe. But when you use secure deletion, every byte of the files gets written to by random data several times, so it takes longer time. 15 minutes seem a lot of time though, shouldn't take longer than to move 200 mb I guess...

Eldmannen Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 God knows. It's not open source, so its no possible for us others to inspect it for any possible bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
