I get 30,000 errors logged when doing a free space wipe.

I did a free space wipe of C: drive and get 30,000 errors in the log. Some are from locked files. I'm using the latest 5.82 so don't know why this is happening. I'm using xphome sp2.

Thats perfectly normal. But to cut the list to the minimum before you start your free space wipe with the windows Task Manager Kill all non-critical processes, leave eraser.EXE and leave Taskmgr.exe for last to kill. You can also kill the processes for your Firewall and AV if you disconnect from the web.
