frank99 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 When I Wipe Free Space it takes ages for ccleaner to wipe the master file table free space. So in options/settings, I untick ' wipe free MFT space '. But.. regardless of this setting ccleaner always starts cleaning the MFT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted June 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 29, 2015 Are you using Drive Wiper to wipe free space? If so then the WFS settings in Options/Settings have no effect, and you'll get a free Wipe MFT anyway. If you're running from Cleaner then I haven't experienced this.

frank99 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 On a 244 Gb drive with 95 Gb used and total of 280,000 files it takes two hours to clean the free space MFT. And then 15 minutes to wipe the remaining 155gb free space. I call that very annoying. Not using this feature anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted June 30, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 30, 2015 Wipe Free Space isn't something you should have the need to be using anyway unless you're planning to sell-off your computer or donate it, i.e.; when you wouldn't own the computer anymore.
