I use http://support.it-mate.co.uk/?mode=Products&p=index.datsuite. It deletes index.dat files into freespace then you just erase freespace on your HD to get rid of them permanently.
Thats about what I waited.
I tried it again, this time I waited for 5 minutes while watching it, not even a hour glass and I checked propertys box. The box changed back to none.
Yours is blue :shock: , my drop-down box is a neutral color and stays a neutral color. It does not vanishes after I click "OK", (but it does vanish if you click the red X before runing the task). I just set up a task to delete my browser cashe, and restart to delete dcashe4 a internet shortcut...
I have "Tune-up Utilities 2006". It has a undelete utility, I can search for a file I accidentally deleted from the recycle bin. But if I don't specify a file it will show me all files that are in free space. The files in free space that I see are quite alarming, old system files. Some system...
I an using Eraser 5.8 beta. Yesterday before work I set-up a new task to wipe free space and keep it on the menu and when it is done to shut down, when I got home I found the computer still on. I just looked at Erasers Help file and the online FAQ and the quick Start Guide for any reference to...
If you are talking about the fail to process folders,no. Those files are being used by the computer that is why they are locked and you get the error message Failed to Process. The only .tmp file you can safely delete is ~ERAFSWD.TMP, it is created when eraser wipes cluster tips. Eraser should...
To reduce the amount of locked files I have been running free space wipes in Safe mode, is that a good idea. Also I saved a copy of the log in documents in safe mode, but when I restart in Normal mode the log is not in documents. How do I bring it back so I can access it normal mode.
You start by clicking on the file list and select "New Task" that brings up a dialog box. You want to select the second Task "Files on folder", you want to erase the files inside of the folder so Tick subfolders. You see the big square to the right of the slot, click on it. It brings up a dialog...
Think of the RB like a holding pen, to give you a second chance to think about not deleting the file. When you finally delete the file from the RB, the ID tag is removed from the file and it is "deleted" but not really. It is just not reconized by the OS, but the file still exists on the HD and...
Which version. If it was 5.8 beta, when did you download it, they refreshed the 4-10 beta about april 25 after my post in the beta sticky on april 22 about free space. Since you had so many entries nearly identical, is it possable you had a trojan or a worm. I am glad you got your computer back...
I also use Opera,I use Eraser 5.8. I have a similar problem. It is when you use explorer to 0pen the file....I can't get the submenu with erase on it. Back to your problem, try click on the On Demand box. File/New Task/Files on folder and tick subfolders. Next choose the folder by clicking on...
I am fairly new to erasing but the total erase sounds preferable. The purpose of Erasing is privacy and I think I would rather sacifice a few seconds to get a better erase job.
