Hi Taffy,

I’m Rey, your Independent Advisor.
I understand you are want our opinion as to what will be the best file shredder. Let's work on that.

To me, I also recommend you the Eraser instead of Ccleaner. Though Ccleaner is powerful but it erase files and documents once it detects that it slows down your system. Even if that app or file is vital component of you system. It will make your system corrupted.

Well, Microsoft may not have that feature yet, probably they do not use it that much or contented of the deleting feature since their aim is for general usage.

I hope this answers your concern. If not, let me know and I'd be glad to help you.

Try below app.

Hello both. I've just installed ccleaner version 5.66. It worked immediately with NO problems.

@v_realo. Hello Rey. What makes you think it will corrupt my system? Have you any evidence to support that?

I've just been told this about v_realo:

Does "retired" mean "kicked out"? I guess I'll never know why he thought my system would be corrupted if I used CCleaner!

Some time ago, experts here advised us to uninstall it; it had been bought by Avast and ended up 'bloated' and was causing issues. If you search the Community you'll see that there are lots of queries about the App, mainly "is this safe?".

I asked the same question in my thread HERE  and was told by an Independent Advisor that it would corrupt my system and was also slow. I asked him what evidence he had but I'll never find out because this is what his profile shows

I've no idea what 'retired' means and it would be wrong of me to wonder whether or not it mean "sacked - not up to scratch".

I've just installed version 5.66. It worked immediately with NO problems. So if any other user has problems, I suggest that they install it from https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download

Their very helpful community forum is here https://community.ccleaner.com/

Unless experts here disagree with my findings, of course
