to begin with, i would like to pay my compliments and respect to the makers of eraser, its a very good program, although it takes some time and reading to figure it out good. im sure eraser will be a huge app shreder in the future as it progresses trough trial an error.
so far i have read all the faq and im still not sure about something, i want to erase my unused space, when i add a new task on the schedule windows it gives me an option to disable or able "erase cluster tips", what should i choose? whats more safe?
so far i havent done a full erase of my unused space do to uncertainties of what is best.
when i try to wipe my unused space with the "erase cluster tips" enabled i noticed that the process of deletion is extremely slow..
And when i double click on the running task to see the remaining time it says "unknown" time... so i eventually stop the process since it takes so long.
but when ever i test run to erase my unused space with the "erase cluster tips" unable'd the process seems to run smoothly and even displays the remaining time of the task..
my question:
1.if i disabled the "erase cluster tips" option, do my files on my unused space get safely shred'ed/deleted even though i didnt have the "cluster tips" enabled?
2.whats more safe when erasing unused space? enabling "erase cluster tips" or disabling it?
3.whats the benefit of having "erase cluster tips" enabled?
4.ps: i also noticed that when i double click on the task it shows which items are being managed, im scare because it shows items that are not in the unused space but rather on my desktop and local disk (C
.. is it erasing those files too?
and when i try to run it using the "erase cluster tips" enabled i get two problems, the time displayed of the running task is "unknown and the status bar eventually says "querying status", is all this normal?
please someone who knows write back as soon as you can,
i dont dare to erase my unused space until i get this concerns reassured.
2nd ps: i got zipped files in my unused space, will the zipped files be able to get randomly coded as well when i run erase unused space?
