Good day;
I recently downloaded Eraser and have found that "recurring" task on "unused area" seems to work just fine but, when I attempt to shred the Recycle Bin (either through recurring or manual or immediate) the work balloons out that it is finished but, the Recycle Bin is still full of stuff that needs to be shredded.
One fix I have potentially found is to create a "recurring" task for "unused areas" on Drive C:\ and just let it run.
Potentially the harm in this is the Recycle Bin may not be considered an "unused area", therefore, maybe by deleting the files from the Recycle Bin first, then letting the recurring task run will potentially get the files that have been manually deleted from the Recycle Bin and are presumably at that point in "unused areas".
I feel like I am chasing a wild rabbit on this one ......
Maybe I am just doing it all wrong.
I set up a "recurring" Recycle Bin shred, set it for midnight and this doesn't seem to touch the Recycle Bin files either.
Does Eraser "not" handle Recycle Bin items without a plug-in or something?
If you have had experience with this, I looked in the forum and couldn't find anything other than setting a "recurring" on either the Recycle Bin (which doesn't work) or on Unused Areas which I think may work but, not sure.
Thanks for your advice.
David
