You are going to get Failed to clean messages, but those exact lines, thought you were making those two lines up. :wink:

Those are called Zip disks, they were orignally made by Iomega. They are now made by other companys (the Disks, not the recorder/player tape machine), the come in 100mb; 250mb and 750mb through I never seen any. That is just your erase report that you see after you erase something.

I have the same problem, this is a flaw in Eraser. When you select all and right click within the selected files one of the options should be to delete those files to the recycle Bin. Then you erase it there, right click on the recycle Bin and select "Erase recycle bin". No,they are subfolders...

What you want to is erase is the files inside the folder, not the folder itself. So click on the folder and go up to the edit menu and select "select all" that should select all the files in the folder. Don't delete anything yet. Scroll through the list, you should just have cookies no folders...

Yes, I go MyComputer/C:/Documents and settings/name/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files .

I agree, I did it once. I don't think it needs to be done that often, maybe every 6 months. I even posted a thread about it, never did get a reply.

Thank you for warning us, unfortunately you aren't the first. I ask myself where will it end.I hope you have a way of restoring your computer.

Did you Try leaving a space after deltree . deltree█C:\~ERAFSWD.TMP Did you read the Eraser FAQ from http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/faq.php Do you have folder options to show all files and folders. I have Windows XP: Control Panel/Folder Options/View/Hidden files and folders/Show hidden files...

Try a space where tha Asterisk is Use Upercase see if that makes a difference. I hope you are not including the " " when you type in the line in to the command prompt deltree C:\~ERAFSWD.TMP

My pleasure., And you could delete it and see if that was the problem, i f it isn't you can restore it from the recycle Bin.

I've haven't used Dban, so I am not familiar with it enough to know if it will make a CD. There is a Dban board you can ask your Question at. You may get a beter answer there. http://www.cipherserver.com/phpbb2/viewforum.php?f=6&sid=a0dab8fdecc369e9e2a1761ddad823a1

When You install Eraser, look under the Start/programs/Eraser it gives you the option of making a Nuke Boot Disk(floppy).

Yes. I do. You want to wipe you Privite data before getting rid of it. A HD full of old files recently was sold at a auction and the orignal owner had been told the HD had been wiped and was contacted by the new owner that he had his HD with all of his files intact and if he would like it sent...

That sort of depends on why you are eracing the drive. To sell or get rid of the drive or just re proportion the drive. If you plan on reusing the drive I would use Eracer to erace the existing files and then re install the OS. But if you are selling the drive or getting rid of it I would use Dban.

It seems that the Admins promise of new features was to buy time or curry favor with the users.

Yes, do a file search of you HD. There might be a file in prefetch. Otherwise I am out of ideas.

I don't have a 64bit computer, but I think I have spoted your mistake. When you removed Eraser 5.7 did you also remove from the registry the "Heidi" key or folder.

In edit/prefrences/eracing/unused Disk space you should have check mark in all three check boxs on that page. Cluster tip The unused area at the end of the last cluster allocated by a file is called the cluster tip (or the slack space). This unused area is present in most files because space...

Yes. DBAN supports all Microsoft platforms and securely destroys FAT, VFAT, and NTFS filesytems. MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME Windows NT 3.0, Windows NT 3.1, Windows NT 3.5, Windows NT 4.0 Windows 2000, Windows XP

What is avalible now in a erase report is if you put the proper checkmarks in Edit/Preferences/general/Erasing report is a list of files that were NOT erased. And You should also put a post in the Beta thread.
