Re: Illegal characters in path during erasing unused disk sp Certainly, on any machine on which I have tested Eraser (and it's now quite a few), I have never seen this problem. But, of course, all of my machines have English language settings. There is a possibility that something is wrong with...

It's good to know that brute force still works if all else fails! I have responded on your new query (and thank you for putting it in a separate topic; that helps other forum users). David

Re: Illegal characters in path during erasing unused disk sp Well, I can pretty well guess what is happening, and Eraser does provide a solution to the problem, but I don't really know why the problem should occur on your machine and not on others. It may have something to do with language...

Please read the sticky FAQ topic entitled "Getting to know Eraser 6", in particular the section on running Eraser as administrator. If you are on Windows 7 or Vista, and think you are already running as administrator, please believe me; you aren't David

With this additional information, I think I understand your problem quite well. Unfortunately, Eraser installs do not seem to like downgrading, and problems can occur even if you uninstall first. Here is a direct quote from the FAQ topic in which you 'did not find any answers': "Sometimes, you...

As the screenshots are in Russian, which I do not know, I'll have to offer general advice, for which more information is needed. Please tell usWhich version of Windows are you using?Have you been using Eraser previously, or is this a new install?If it is a new install, did you install it over a...

Re: End of Stream was encountered before parsing was complet The error message suggests a corrupt or missing Task List file. There appears to be no record of this particular error on the forum. Two questions: Did the error occur on first install, or when you had been using Eraser 6.0.9 for some...

Eraser doesn't format drives; what, exactly, are you trying to do in Eraser? Which Eraser version and which OS are you using? David

@neilart You are very welcome (in both senses!). If you haven't done so already, I suggest that you read the 'sticky' topics at the top of the FAQ, which taken together, provide a good grounding in how to use Eraser and related issues. David

Which method were you using to erase the folder (there are three; for details see the "Getting to know ..." sticky post in the FAQ)? If none of the methods work, can you delete the folder to the Recycle Bin and erase that? The reason for the questions is working out which program is accessing...

Re: [v5&6] "Elevation Required" message while Erasing Free S Please, please read the "Getting to know Eraser 6" topic here in FAQ. It is all explained there; just follow the procedure described. David

Re: Eraser 6.09.2343 stuck at "old resident files system tab I agree with your diagnosis about .NET (or perhaps about its installer). I have found a link to a cleanup tool, which you could perhaps use (or search yourself on 'how to remove .NET 4'). I could not of course test the product, so...

I said that this was not my area of expertise, and you have just proved it. Doing exactly what you do, I now get the same results. How far this matters, I don't know. I don't have any dealings with the Heidi site that I would want to be secure. Equally, we would all want it to be locked down...

Sorry; must have expressed myself badly. I understand your point, and confirm that I can follow forum links in FF without getting any kind of error. It's not my area of expertise, but I wonder if this link might help? David

Everything you need to know is in the sticky post in the FAQ entitled "Getting to know Eraser 6". I am afraid I say this time and again, but if you are in Windows 7 or Vista, you are not running as Administrator, even if you have the privileges. That is why the FAQ explain how you can run Eraser...

None at all. On the site to which I linked in my last, which is (as far as I know) the home page for the product, it is described as freeware. An I have never had to pay, except for much earlier versions in the remote past. What site did you download from? David

I answered this here. David

Re: Eraser 6.09.2343 stuck at "old resident files stsyem tab The problem with the machine crashing and/or freezing when disk space gets low has long been an issue with all versions. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have a single cause and the likelihood of it occurring seems to vary between...

This is the correct forum. Unfortunately, I don't know what the cause of your problem is; I have never had any problems accessing the Eraser site with Firefox, which is my default browser and is fully updated. David

Your XP machines have probably not been updated with the latest Root Certificates. See this thread. David
