Moderators Nergal Posted February 10, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2013 do you have a HDD or SSD for your drive. The MAC wipe process is just calling the OSX command for drivevwipe ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

nikesboy Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I am having the same issue. CCleaner wipe has been running for almost 24 hours. The following message appears in the box - Started erase on disk0s2 Untitled Creating a temporary file Securely erasing a file When I try to get out of the program, I get the following message: CCleaner cannot be closed until the Erase Free Space operation is complete. This is a MacBook Air with flash storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted March 16, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2013 Post 1 - I would expect that wiping a 2 tb disk would take aeons. Post 3 - what are you wiping, SSD? Disk size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
