For anybody using CCleaner, I'd strongly advise against upgrading to v7.

There is a lot of hate online for it right now and after trying it on a virtual machine, I can see why. The new interface is simply gash and nowhere near as easy to use as previous versions. Then there's there's the lack of customisation of user settings. Then there's missing options, like disk wiper. Those are just the faults that I've found myself.
 
The only reason I've still been using it was for the secure wipe feature. Are there any better alternatives for that? I've been a bit lazy just using an old portable version of CCleaner on a pen drive.
 
I only ever used the Mac version of CCC and I’d switched to Clean My Mac a few years before I stopped using any Macs in 2018.

CMM just did more faster and had a better interface.

I use the free Macrorit data wiper form HERE, They also do a good free partition manager.
 
It had it's uses when Windows 7 was still a thing. We used to use it as part of a PC health check when I used to do home PC support. I don't see the point of it these days as the OS takes better care of itself.
