seferian Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 So I just ran CCleaner on my drive which I split in 2 parts (c and d). The D drive was mostly for documents and stuff while my C drive contained all my programs. When CCleaner was finished I notice that my entire D drive was empty. The weird thing is when I analyzed my drive CCleaner said it found around 15 gig of stuff to throw out, while my D drive is around 200gig I have added the things I wanted cleaning as a screenshot. Can someone tell me what I did wrong ? Or even better how to undo it ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted January 16, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2017 In my experience CC will only clean known temporary data on the C (system) drive, and it will not by default delete any user files. The only way I know to delete user files on a non-system drive is to specifically include the folder/files with Include statements (but you don't have Custom Files/Folders checked), or to run an erase drive command from Drive Wiper. This is assuming that the D drive contained user files instead of, for instance, a redirect to hold only temp internet files. There's no way to undo file erasure done by CC. Whether anything can be recovered from the D drive depends on what's actually happened to erase the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
