hello everyone

I have just downloaded the new version of ccleaner.
In the settings menu it has wipe free space drives and wipe MFT free space.
Should I untick or leave as they are.

Hello Again,
Most members, indicate that you can leave the default settings. I do not see a problem leaving those two items ticked.

CCleaner can wipe the MFT free space - it's safe to do this but will take a while. It means that other programs will be less likely to recover files that you have deleted or moved.

Ccleaner, suggests that you may want to untick these two catergories since, it take substantially more time to complete.
