Help with "Wipe Free Space", I have no longer free hard disk space

Hi all

I apologize if the question has already been solved, but I have no much competence to read all previuos topics. :(

I was trying for the first time the function "Wipe Free Space" of CCleaner using the method of 35 passes. Unfortunately, the process blocked my notebook, so I decided to stop it killing CCleaner process through windows task manager. After a reboot, I noticed that my hard disk passed from 60 GB of available space to only 1 GB! What's happen? How could I recover all my free space?

Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to give me a help.

Suggestion:

- Try the following: rerun CC with same option but now with only a single pass. Shouldn't take too long (only 1 GB right ?). Let the program run until it's finished (don't do anything else).

Report back if this helped. Windows has a number of "tricks" up its sleeve that could help you to regain that memory this way.

Es ist möglich, keine Fehler zu machen und dennoch zu verlieren. Das ist kein Zeichen von Schwäche. Das ist das Leben -> "Picard"
