My solution was to (once again) clone my backup drive. Where'd the 0ther 300GB go? Defragmenter now shows a huge 'red' swath of unusable space and will not run anymore.

This time OS is stable, but Defragmenter reports my Freespace is now down to ~500GB compared to 850GB before running CCleaner Wipe Free Space. Same problem, (blue screen and drive space lost) but not exectly identical symptems.

Thinking it was a software issue I downloaded CCleaner and gave it a try. After that OS was unstable and I was forced to re-build. However, I upgraded to a WD 1TB last week and CyberScrub Wipe Free Space locked up about 2/3rds of the way through and machine posted 'Fatal Error'. CyberScrub Wipe Free Space never gave a problem during this time. Before trying CCleaner I was using CyberScrub successfully for several years on a Seagate 120GB. I'm a CCleaner newbie and also experiencing Wipe Free Space problem. Nice support group you have here! Much better than other applications -) We are looking into what might cause this So what is the point of the ''FreeSpace'' wipe, if it doesnt do anything at all? When it's done you will still have the SAME amount of freespace you had when you started the Process (in the example if user had let it finish user would STILL have 100GB of freespace)ĭevelopers THIS IS WHY I WAS SOOOOOO AGAINST ADDING THIS TO CCLEANER When CCLEANER says that this takes a while It means Leave it alone I left it for Probably 5+ Hours for my 200 GB of freespace and it did fine. Look it may say 100% that means the file is made it takes a long time for windows to process the deletion of a 99.9 GB file Much less a bigger one like many of us have with our 320 GB drives or Terebyte Drives

1 GB freespace and a file that is 99.9GB Large User get's Angry 'Why isn't this finsihed? it I'm just going to close CCLEANER User See's that it has been at 100% for 15 min Yes if you do not allow Wipe to finish (and it 'sticks' for many people at 100% but I say just let be be for a while) Wipe Free space will CREATE a file that is the size of the FreeSpace Cleaned
