  1. Hi, About 20 hours ago I fiddled with CCleaner, been using it ever since I used Windows many years back and found the erase free space function which I've not noticed before. Before clicking it, it did say the cleaning will take a few hours and cannot be stopped until it is completed. I thought it will be literally a few hours. Turns out I had to leave my mac on overnight because it has not finished yet after that "few hours" and when I woke up this morning, it says "Finished erase on disks0s2 Macintosh HD" but still won't let me close the program. What is actually happening? Do I have disk0s3, disk0s4 and so on? Unlike when I used windows, I've never partitioned my hard drive in mac hence I am not sure what is happening, or what disk0s2 even mean. Any advise on what should I do now? Should I just leave it or try to force quit or restart my mac? I read around some other forums and one said the program ran for 30 hours and is not yet completed, some said when they aborted the program, they are left with a huge chunk of temporary files which are difficult to find. Some ran into problems with their disk space being gobbled up. I did not have problem with my disk space, it is still the same like when I started launching this free space function. I do not want to leave my mac on for 30 hours! Thanks a lot!
