Oogudy Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hi, about a month ago I noticed that while CCleaner empties my recycle bin it no longer does so securely. It says it has but as can be seen from the attached screen grab more than 8Gb of data was apparently cleaned using 3x overwrite in under 12 seconds (not possible). Using Win 8.1 64bit, have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest CCleaner with the same kind of result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted May 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 22, 2016 Try running the corrupt recycle bin fix. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=42673 Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted May 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 22, 2016 Try the Simply Overwrite (1 pass). I think it's been known for years that using more than 1 pass doesn't really work, and this affects multiple tools - not just CCleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
