Forum can you please help me, I have two hard drives in my computer, how do I run CCleaner on both of them?

My C: drive is my main drive and E: drive is basically just to store photos etc, however I have uninstalled many programs from the old E: drive and I would like to tidy it up by running CCleaner on it.

So is it possible to run the program on both hard drives and if so how do I do it.

Thank you for your time.

You cannot run the normal functions of CC (delete temp files, etc) on any other drive than the c: the only thing you can do on other drives is include files/folders to be deleted, or to overwrite free space (which is being debated at the moment). I don't think that either functions are what you want.

You could back up the data you want to keep on your e drive, format it, and reload the data.

Hi,

is this because ccleaner gets the "system information" only from the currently running OS? Would make sense though ...

I guess so, but I am only a user, so I have to guess.
