Been using CCEnhancer since it first came out.

It sure is a great way to double the benefits of CCleaner!

I've been unchecking all those boxes so long I don't even read them anymore. But wasn't the file shown the installer not the run time exe? It had to be a partial download. The download page for CCleaner lists the installer sized as 3 MB not 1.7.

Wasn't talking about the portable edition on there with no installer. The slim edition with installer at the bottom. Half the size. I doubt it would have even worked properly had it been a partial download of the program.

The CCleaner 'Slim Edition' is running just great so far!

You are correct. Deleting files in Windows simply removes the file's address but it is still in tact on the HDD. CCleaner will overwrite the files with whatever method you choose fron 1 pass to the 35 pass Gutmann method although not all 35 passes still actually apply to modern HDD's.

For secure deletion I prefer to use the 7 pass Scnheier Algorithm in the Eraser software in that it first applies 2 overwrites and then 5 passes of pseudorandom data which makes the files about as gone gone as they are going to get.

They shouldn't effect the performance in any case and all overwriting with CCleaner or Eraser will do is make them irretrievable by recovery software, nevertheless they will be written over again should your computer need that disk space.
