CCleaner wiped entire D drive

Recommended Posts

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

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.
