Hello all, I was looking at the latest version of CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com) which I've just installed on my father's computer, and came across a very interesting option, which is unchecked by default. It's called "wipe free space". Now, for those who remembers Norton Utilities, you could do exactly the same. I don't really understand the technical aspects, however it is supposed to clean traces of, say, personal data, that, although has been deleted from the system, hasn't been physically deleted from the hard drive. As I say this is technical and probably should only be used by advanced users, but still, a very interesting discovery indeed! So, for those who really want a cleanout of their hard drives and who wishes to take a gamble upon this wipe free space option, check it out! You'll be warned it'll take significantly longer to clean, but just click ok and click the run cleaner button. Enjoy!
