I Am Negan Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I was using PrivaZer's clean free space, and while it was running it added a folder and some files to C:\ The files were gigantic. I went from 619GB free space to 93.7GB. When it was over i got the space back, but why did it do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy2004 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I have a theory... to clean the free space it creates files to fill up your free space.. then once its done.. it will delete the files it created. probably with 00. personally i prefer it if the app just wipes the free space replacing all the unused clusters with 00 instead of creating files.
