scottyg Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I have a hard drive from another computer, can't make it go live. Trying to wipe the browsing history from that drive. I have the basic version of CCleaner, but will only wipe the live drive's history. Will the pro version do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted January 7, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2017 one of the Pro versions extra features is the ability to clean all Users, but it still only looks at the Windows system drive and Windows environment paths, not other drives as you are wanting. for that, you need to use an INCLUDE. but I'm assuming this is a once off because of this other PC drive now being in your PC. why not format the whole drive if no data is required to be kept or just deleting the temp folder locations manually? Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Just Formatting the harddrive or empty the recycle bin doesn't delete your browser history. You need to write over the empty space at least 1 time.
