Disk Space want recover after performing a drive wipe or creating disk images for burning.

[Guest Terrance Crouch]

I used CC cleaners Drive Wipe feature (Simple Over write 1 pass) and after it completed my hard drive went from 120 gigs to 28 gigs. I used it before and it didn't do that. I have two laptops and it only does it on the one. I also notice that when I try to convert videos using that computer it eats my hard drive up and never gets back to the original size after I delete the converted file. Is their a problem with my computer registering recovered space after deleting files including free space. Has anyone had this problem before. If I restore my system the problem goes away until I use CCleaner Drive wipe program or convert video files. It seems this is only happening when some information is written to the disk, images and such. But I really don't know why the drive wipe is doing this, unless it writes information to the hard drive (1's) and the deletes them.

 

 

I have so far tried to recover the space using Disk Clean-up utility to delete the restore files and shadow files. This didn't work. Question if you have a possible bad memory module will this cause a problem such as this.
