Hi I have Cclaenr set to Secure File Deletion and three passes, so I guess I should not expect great things, but on the other hand, my previous sorrespondet appears to be saying that Cleaner doe not remove files only reclaims space. Now, just a thought here. have carried out yet another yet scan with the file recovery utility and there are thousands of files i thought were long since gone that are still recoverable, very easily - I now want to get rid of these too - looks like Ccleaner is not my man! Cheers

Thanks for this reply - I must admit to being bemused. I am using a setting for "Secure file deletion" so that leds to to believe that me files are indeed to think they are securely deleted - can I really have got this wrong? And second - point taken. I have somethin to ad in reply though. So if Ccleaner is not securely deleting files, what does "wipe free space do" - maybe I am easily confused, but Ccleaner is looking seiously like it does not do what I thought it did! Cheers

I have recently started to use a file recovery program for the first time and have been surprised to find that many internet files (in fact all of them so far as I can see) are listed as being in "excellent" condition for retrieval. I have tried to retrieve a few with amazing success. This means that I can no longer turst the claim that Ccleaner is removing my internet files or cleaning my Recycle bin properly. Has anyone any idea as to what might be wrong here?
