It took about 30mins to complete. It completed with no problem,Thank God. What is the benefit of doing this action? Does free space also become defragmented? Why wipe free space if it is free in other words empty? What is their to wipe? Is their any benefit to the system? I used this tool because it was their and there fore assumed it must be useful but how and why? I used the Drive Wipe In CCleaner to wipe About 50gb of free space. It took about 30mins to complete.

This is why CCleaner creates a large file, overwriting all of the 'free space' which isn't really free space but space on the hard drive allocated to being overwritten. CCleaner then genuinely deletes the file completely that it makes so the free space is actually FREE so when you turn on/run your computer, the processor has less Hard drive memory to read. Also, has anyone had CCleaner create a large file and then laptop runs out of battery so you can't locate the file it made to delete?

How long does it take?Can I manually delete the file?If so how? I used this and my free space on c drive came to 1.66 gb and its staying like that. CCleaner has not yet deleted that file.
