bothandeach Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I can't find the right place to ask, but I dual boot Windows 7 / Ubuntu 16.04+ .. Question is, I run CC Cleaner and it says it can get rid of ginormous amount of stuff. - will it touch the Ubuntu partitions? There are shared NTFS which would be fine to clean, but the ext4 I want to keep virginal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted August 9, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 9, 2018 CC only goes through the current drive, so you should be fine. BUT... have you clicked Analyse first and checked out what it will clean? once happy, then click Run Cleaner.

bothandeach Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks. You mean like C: ? Just Windows? I did run Analyse first and it seemed like it would remove 1/2 my Barracuda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted August 9, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 9, 2018 it'll go through your system drive (usually C:\) and clean whatever fits its criteria with Program Files, Windows and the current user. it only looks at non personal, left-over sort of crap, so if you think it'll remove half your Barracuda then I'll guess you don't do regular maintenance or there are a lot of Restore Points or Recycle Bin etc items to clean up. do an Analyse and post a screen shot if you like and we'll give it a quick once-over for you.
