As described in detail in
the How-to Booklet chapter 6. How to Destroy Sensitive
Information, the Microsoft Windows standard
file deletion methods do not erase the actual data from the disk (even when you
have emptied the Recycle Bin). This
also applies to temporary files. To delete them permanently (that is, to wipe them) from the hard disk, the files must be overwritten with
random data. CCleaner must be
configured to overwrite any deleted files in order to securely delete them, as
it will not do so in default mode. CCleaner can also
securely delete old information by wiping any free disk space (please refer to
section 5.3 How to Wipe Free Disk
Space Using CCleaner).
Before you begin using CCleaner, it should be configured to securely delete all temporary files.
To configure CCleaner, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Either click or
select Start > Programs
> CCleaner to activate the Piriform
CCleaner console.
Step 2. Click to
activate the following screen:

displaying the default About pane
Step 3. Click to
activate the Settings pane.
The Settings pane
lets you choose the language you are most comfortable working in, and determine
how CCleaner will
delete temporary files and wipe drives.
Note: The Secure Deletion section appears with the Normal file deletion option enabled.
Step 4. Click the Secure file deletion
(Slower) option to enable the drop-down list.
Step 5. Expand the Secure file deletion
(Slower) drop-down list and select the Advanced Overwrite (3 passes) item to resemble the
following screen:
