Runs for hours

I have Windows 10 and when I run CCleaner, it gets to about 96% complete, then it starts "wiping ... free space" and I get the message that this process will take "10 hours", "22 hours" "15 hours", etc.  The first time I got to this point, I just let it run and the next day I checked it and it had finally completed. I tried running it again today and the same thing happened. At this point, I cancelled the cleaning and after several minutes, it finally came back with a list of files that had been deleted and with the message that the cleaning had not completed. I have attached a screen shot of this information.post-70999-0-81506500-1447209220_thumb.jpg

 

This is a recent problem, so I'm thinking it is related to my Windows 10 upgrade, perhaps. I just know this doesn't seem right and I would like some help to find out how to fix it.

 

Thanks.

to shorten the time taken for cc to complete, you need to disable "Wipe Free Space" option

Cleaner section > Windows > Advanced > remove the tick for "Wipe Free Space"

 

info about Wipe Free Space

Stopping Wipe Free Space before it ends can cause it to leave a huge file on the hard disk
