Has something new come along? It’s been so long since I’ve needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.

minus-squareParadachshund@lemmy.todayOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·1 year agoAwesome I’ll look into that one. Thanks!
minus-squareAlolanYoda@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·edit-21 year agoHow do you know? More specificly, how did you break your system? What did you do? Did you “clean” your partition table or something?

minus-squareLostXOR@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·1 year agoProbably for the same reason someone would run it on Windows. It has both a Windows and Linux version.
minus-squareCorroded@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 year agoNot that person but I tried to do the secure cleaning mode where it zeros empty space but I think I was also downloading something at the same time. This was several years ago but I vaguely recall my system being unable to boot.
