She runs Norton, which does seem to enjoy taking control of everything going on. Are there known issues with CCleaner and Norton? No no, it's run on demand, typically by me. Definitely not at startup, and definitely not when a million other things are trying to use the disk. Try turning Norton off if such a thing exists.
It's been awhile since I have had it long before CCleaner. It tends to be if you're using secure deletion, but normal deletion is too quick to notice any extraneous noises. I don't use secure deletion. It's a quick deletion, but usually hard drive makes noises during the cleaning.
How many files are involved in your CCleaning? You might want to turn on the options for detailed log of your Temporary Int. What is the size of your MFT and how many fragments?
This could cause thrashing depending on where those fragments are and where the related files are located. Also the relative location of your Page file and if it is fragmented also.
I can't remember are you Vista or XP?. Vista defragger will defrag the MFT from what I have read. I don't know what your data files may be like. I have teens of folders containing hundreds of thousands of "password " protected files. It took me a while to learn to keep them away from CCleaner and a couple of security programs that would generate MB log files when I scanned. It only takes me a few seconds that can be counted on one hand, mainly because I use CCleaner everyday.
Hummm does your mom surf the Inet more than you? I would Before ANY of the other sugestions above look at the size of the analyze don't use auto, open CCleaner and click anayze on both computers Next try and check each of the Windows options and Application Options off one by one. Do you clean yours more than hers this is sounding dirty, NO? INI explanation. That way we all benefit from this interesting thread. I guess you have the money to purchase a system that is capable of running NORTON and unfortunately many of us here do not have that luxury.
I prefer avast! Then reboot then go to start then Run then regedit then Edit then Find The drive has about GB of free space which is why I am having trouble understanding why it is taking so long. My mistake is that I did not check the options to see how many passes it is doing. So, after more than 72 hours should I just force quit the application? I only selected the one drive. I also made the mistake of leaving an external drive connected.
The odd thing is I can't eject it safely remove it as I get the message that it is in use by another application. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

The number of wipes. Each wipe must fill the above mentioned unused space completely, then remove the data it filled the drive with. The speed of the drive, and the speed of the drive's connection to the computer. RAM and processor of the PC As well as all of this, there is no real reason to wipe the drive's freespace unless you are selling it. Posted January 13, Augeas Posted January 13, Scampbell Posted January 31, Posted January 31, It would be useful to be able to estimate how long it needs thanids.
Scampbell Posted February 1, Posted February 1, Wiping free space is not going to speed anything up, if it's a HDD then defragmenting might do. Wiping free space is used to securely delete any old files on the HDD disc so they can't be recovered by recovery software. You would typically only use it if you were selling on the computer or the disc to someone else, so that they couldn't try and recover any files that you had normally deleted.
Take a look in task manager right click anywhere on the taskbar and select 'Task Manager to see if something is hogging your CPU. Anyways, if the latter was neccesary to get free space wipe to start doing something meaningful, then you can rest assured that your HDD is at the end of its lifespan, deteriorating, and that this "repair" has only temporarily extended it.
This then also explains why you always were able to do free space wipes on acceptable speeds you said that you noticed things changed on the same huge sized HDD. So in that case I would stop relying on your HDD, evacuate important files, and get a new one.
I am having the same problem. I think it is because Ccleaner does not appear to disable 'sleep' during wipe. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community.

Bigger disk or more passes will take more time. Andavari Posted September 3, Posted September 3, edited.
