Latest CCleaner Version Released

Well, there is a tool



AND there is a setting



I think the setting is unchecked by default. And you'd have to knowingly use the tool. Checking the setting give a warning



But it doesn't mention SSDs. Checking to wipe with the tool does give a warning on SSDs



Interesting, I just have never had reason to wipe free space, nor thought it a good idea on my SSD.

EDIT: I see you have to set the parameters in Settings for the wipe setting, and it will indeed throw up the SSD warning. So it has always been there.

Hmm good job you saw that Bill I have never set the wipe space not even with spinners how it got like that is either a miss type by me or some setting that crept in.

There was a similar discussion here
Secure file removal with ccleaner
I'm not sure that running it rarely would damage the SSD but it is claimed above that trim enabled SSDs don't leave the deleted files behind. You could have old files lying around if you have system protection turned on and I don't think wiping deleted space will get rid of these.

yes I hadn't thought of that anyway either.

New CCleaner 5.00.5050 released. See first post for more details. :)

"New improved GUI"?
The new GUI is hideous.

hideous
adjective

1. horrible or frightful to the senses; repulsive; very ugly:

"a hideous monster."

It seems that a few other people aren't impressed either.
CCleaner v5.00.5050 looks like **** - CCleaner Discussion - Piriform Community Forums
5.0 UI is a step backwards - CCleaner Discussion - Piriform Community Forums

It would appear that Piriform is attempting to make the icons/GUI look like Win 8. Fail.

Yeah, I knew from the Beta it wasn't going to look good. But since it's still the same layout, and choices are few, and I only see it for a dew moments...eh.

Every app is going with that new hideous 8 ui. And it is absolutely horrible.

W8 has a lot to answer for.
