CCleaner for mac is working fine for me. Be sure that your selection for secure deletion is "normal" and not "secure". Sierra no longer allows secure deletion since Apple now uses SSD drives in most of their machines and those drives do not support secure erase.

That's interesting to know for other Mac users.

 

Without having Macs we can only go by the system requirements posted on the documents page ...

 

http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner-for-mac/introducing-ccleaner-for-mac/system-requirements

 

... which only includes up to OS 10.11 El Capitan.

 

Appreciated johnnylakis.

Interesting. But as CCleaner is specifically designed to carry out secure cleaning (with multiple over-writes), is there any point in using it?  Is it no more secure than say, deleting Internet history from within the browser, or emptying the Trash within that function?  Thanks.
