I'm in the same boat now except I can't boot my mac up at all. I REALLY wish I had seen your post earlier. The easiest way in my opinion is to remove this application from your machine and not waste anymore time discussing or thinking about it. I hope this will help and spare anyone else the frustration of trying to solve this issue in the future. (shutdown, attach appropriate cable, power up, hold down "T" till Firewire logo appears on screen).
#Do i need ccleaner or ccleaner64 free#
At least I had the option of using Firewire Target Disk Mode on that machine and was able to remove some files to free up enough space for the laptop to finally boot up. I had tried the Erase Free Space feature (bug?) on a Macbook Pro, and it would not start up completely since there wasn't enough free space left. What a POS app that would eat up all available hard drive space and not clean up after itself. I had this issue and found the "rouge" temporary file in the trash. And this copied and pasted from one of the other threads. I have no idea as to whether the Mac has dual options like this, and if not, which method it may be using.Īs I mentioned in one of the other threads, there are freeware programs out there which enable you to seek out and display every file and folder in every location on your computer, which will help hopefully in finding where your free space has gone. So if this isn't happening with your Macs, you need to look for either a single numerically named file, or a similarly named folder containing the stuff shown above. I stopped the process before completion with both methods above, and the file/folders did delete instantly. and in both cases, if the process is stopped before completion, the single file, or single folder and files are automatically deleted. If WFS is launched via "Tools\Drive Wiper", then the wipe is done with the creation of a folder carrying a multi-digit number, containing other folders, containing lots of files, and all carrying names with variations of Z's. If "Wipe MFT Free Space" is checked in the above, the following method is used. If WFS is launched via "Options\Settings", with either normal or secure file deletion, and the "Wipe MFT Free Space" is unchecked, the wipe is done with the creation of one file, which grows to the size of your free space and is then deleted. I can only comment on the feature in Windows, but one thing I have just confirmed is that Wipe Free Space does the job in two entirely different ways, depending upon how it's launched, and I don't know if this is the same with your Mac version. I think it's time the devs gave some direct input regarding the problems you guys are having with CCleaners Wipe Free Space feature. Not interested in checking to see if it's browser related when Opera is the 2nd oldest browser still in wide use. Maybe that's the reason for the Like This Error too. Really? None? That's the quota? The thumb link in the second post does not work. So I had hoped for the same with the Mac version.Īs a side note, I logged in and clicked the Like This button next to the OPs post and it told me there was an error.
#Do i need ccleaner or ccleaner64 windows#
I've installed and used, often, CCleaner on friend's Windows machines when doing maintenance without a problem. It sure would be nice to hear from someone that develops this product as to why this happens.įree utilities are highly appreciated as long as they do no harm. I've restarted my Mac Mini 2.26GHz 10.6.8, three times and the 15GBs have not come back. I tried it again two days ago and it ate 15GBs of free space before I stopped it. Somehow after restarting I got my free space back. Last time I tried it, it left me with 25MB when I stopped it. Where are these temporary (I sure hope they're temporary) files that it's creating to then get rid of? At what point do I get back my ~1TB of free space I had BEFORE using this product? So far, NOT a happy camper!!! Starting ccleaner again and the "Erase Free Space" process again is just continuing to slowly drop my available space down, so I'm a bit panicked that it's going to hit some minimum threshold and my computer is just going to barf. I did click "Stop" and then shut down the Mac and started it up again hoping that the mystery "large files" mentioned in another post would be gone, but they're not and I'm down to literally ~20GB as I write this. I got home tonight and there's less than 100GB free space left on that volume and it's just going down down down (albeit slowly) with the "Securely erasing file" message sitting in the "Details" window. I had almost 1TB of free (available) space on my "iMac" volume according to the Finder.

I got ccleaner earlier today and kicked off the "Erase Free Space" process on my Mac with the "Zero Out" option, then went my merry way.
