3. Drive Wiper
One of the best reason to use CCleaner is that it provides the drive wiper tool, too! Many of you non technical folks might not be aware with, secure file deletion, the process to permanently delete data. Now you will be thinking that it's damn easy, just do shift + delete but this will only free up the space from hard disk without moving the file to recycle bin! It means there are some way to recover those files. Many recovery softwares are also freely avail on internet that can recover your deleted files (shift + del files!).
Now consider an instance that you want to sell out your old PC. You've stored a word file that contains all your bank a/c numbers & passwords. You do shift + deleted that file, though it is possible to recover that file and your personal data is vulnerable now!!!!!!
To prevent such malfunctioning to your hard disk you should wipe your hard disk's free space frequently. Drive wiper forces data to be overwritten to all supposedly blank areas of your disk, making any old information very difficult to recover.
CCleaner provides 4 types of techniques to securely wipe your hard disk. Drive wiping may take several minutes to hours to perform wiping out a disk, based on your disk size and technique you select from CCleaner.
